dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It is the same with any ideologies, including left wing ones

Yes! Finally, somebody says it! The people who want to end the exploitation of the working class carried out by the bourgeoisie are really basically the same as the people who want to maintain that system of exploitation! After all, they both call each other bad people, both think that they are correct, and both resort to violence to settle it! I've been working on an extension of horseshoe theory called "Polarized Principles are Balanced", or PPB; link to a short introduction.

I think my thinking is distorted by left wing ideology, and recognising that is important, even if it's based

I mean, that’s a strange take because the left has historically been on the side of the powerless

[–] ntzm@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I mean I consider the actions of one group better than another group doing the same action because of their political leaning, not just based on the action. I think this is ok but it's important to check yourself sometimes because you can end up defending some awful shit if you're not careful, see libs and Ukraine etc.

Everything in moderation, except for the phrase "everything in moderation" right?
