Why are millennials killing genocide?
Has the woke agenda gone too far?

Centrists - making the world a friendlier place for fascism since forever.
Centrist is picking and choosing from each side, not doing a little of everything.
I'm also picking and choosing from each side, which is why I'm a leftist. Does that make me a centrist?
Just a little casual genocide, nothing major, some dead LGBT folk here, some dead minorities there... normal stuff. Just wanna grill.
Interesting how everyone seems to think this tweet from 2018 seems to refer to th situation in Gaza in 2023.
Right?! When I posted it, I was making a statement about enlightened centrism and not even thinking about the Gaza situation. Instead of genocide you can insert any morally abhorrent thing that should not be tolerated. But I get why people think it's related, it's on everyone's mind. Thank you for noticing though.
To be fair, the situation in Gaza isn't new and was probably the same in 2018
I can't believe someone with an anime profile picture isn't spouting bigoted nonsense.
I usually see anime profile pics submitting code to Linux open source projects.
That's because it's a Nichijou anime profile picture. That's a green flag in my book.
Cough Israel cough.
Ha, you activated my trap card. I play not-so controversial opinion. Flavor text, "Biden is center right."
Are you 'murican? I don't think the rest of the world agrees on any of the US's "definitions" of left, right and liberal. From a European POV, the US democrats are really, really far to the right. Sanders might be leaning toward the center. The republicans are a strange mixture of libertarian regarding economical matters and very very right-wing/intrusive on personal matters. Whenever someone even mentions/comments other people's sexual orientation and identity I automitcally assume they are creep that wants to sniff other people's bedsheets. How can you be partly libertarian and also creepily nazi-intrusive? US-republican invention I can't wrap my head around, that is.
Which centrists actually support any amount of genocide?
Plenty of centrist liberals support Israel's "war against Hamas". US president Joe Biden and the Democratic party for example.
You people make up such fantasies in your head. This is far from the common trail of thought.
Bro/Sis this is what is happening in the debate about refugees in Germany right now so no, actually you are wrong
i hate to break it to you, but there are a lot of leftists that are very comfortable with genocide.
Enlightening comment section. Very revealing discussions on our current political discourse.
"Data for Progress" poll even back on Oct. 21 showed a majority of Republicans wanted a ceasefire. Half of Republicans in this Reuters/Ipsos poll:

It would be a mistake to characterize this as a left/right issue. That's a classic pattern for drawing up support for inhumane policies, telling "the right" that "the left" wants something and that therefore they should oppose it. This is a basic issue of lives vs. deaths, human rights vs. an oppressive fascist regime, don't allow it to be reframed in these other ways that distort it.
Did you see the date on the image? This is not about the war, but showing the absurd position of centrists on extremist positions
