Greenists believe that the world should be a better place for green people, and everyone else too

Orangites believe that the world should only have orange people, and that all greens should be hung

Me?
I'm a greenist-orangite,
why do you ask?
The Greenist isn't green enough. I'm not voting to send a message they need to earn my vote.
Only there's no greenish party, there's only orange and 99% orange 1% green, and the orange-greenist is a 99 year old person running 99% orange policy to appeal to moderate oranges
“This orange looks more green than the other orange, I’m going to vote for it and call myself a greenist.”
“Oh why is everything still orange? I voted for the green shade of orange!”
...yellow?
So you're choosing less green. Got it.
You literally are in the third panel.
The third panel is a centrist. It is not someone who is so green that nothing is green enough for them.
I'm mocking the leftists who flooded Lemmy with their "don't vote for Kamala" message.
... Think you missed the words: "world" and "everybody else"
No I didn't. Extreme Greenists will be telling everyone in 3 years to not vote for Mamdani because of the police killing citizens that happened under his term.
Its not about police killing per se its more so the lack of accountability in police killings, since it's unavoidable shouldn't every police shooting have some kind of scrutiny. That's the issue.
That's because you aren't an extremist.
The extremists wouldn't vote for Obama because he killed some people while ignoring that he killed less than any other President in the last 50 years. In 3 years it will be "Mamdani the citizen murderer" while ignoring that ( I expect ) he'll have less deaths than any modern mayor.
I think you're fighting against some super niche extremists then. And if they are so niche why are they living rent free in your head?
They aren't a niche on Lemmy. They were everywhere before the election.
Then you are either conflating their numbers by the noise they make, or you're not really interested in listening to peoples concerns and this is just team sports to you. Both make you a deeply unserious person not worth listening to. Peace dude!
You insult because you know you are wrong.
Exactly. You are the green/orange in the third panel, complaining about being told you're too orange to be green.
Ultra-greens: "That green looks a little yellow-green. That's too close to orange! I'm so inclusive and tolerant. Why can't everyone just coexist like me?"
Look, if you really can't cope with not having the moral high ground of being green, maybe instead of bitching about it you can ditch the orange and get with the program.
Ultra-green: continues to dig heels in and insists that yellow-green is indeed orange, and that only super-ultra greens like themself are truly green and thus have the moral high ground.
Keep bitching all you want, man, we both know what you are.
Orange: "Anyone who doesn't agree with me must be annihilated!"
Ultra-green: "Only orangites must be annihilated, but anyone who doesn't agree with me is as bad as orange and therefore must also be annihilated."
Regular greens, blue-greens, and yellow-greens: "Look, we all have our differences, but let's have a civilized discussion and see if we can address everyone's concerns and find a workable solution that meets all our needs. Except for those orangites and ultra-greens, because they can't be reasoned with and just want to kill everyone who isn't on their side."
Orangites: "You're all radical greenist terrorists!"
Ultra-greens "You're all orangite fascists! We know what you are."
Orangites and ultra-greens high-five, as they're being radicalized by the same troll farms.
Satan laughing spreads his wings
You can try and blur the lines all you want, you'll still be what you are. And it's nobody's fault but yours.
It's not blurring the lines to say "yellow-green isn't orange" and the fact that you're insisting that it does kinda shows you for what you are.
You don't even fucking know me but you think you get to decide what I am because I had the audacity to suggest there's more nuance than simply your way or the fascists?
Of course you're not blurring the lines! You're not inserting a bunch of extra shades and colours into the discussion to blur lines, you're doing it for some different, other reason! Which is also why you're this tilted by being told you are what you are. Because you're not that, you're something else!
You seem to have not understood the comic
And you're clearly the second panel because of your complete inability to understand basic concepts
...The irony of this reply is fucking painful.
