Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

Right: Let's do genocide
Left: Let's not do genocide
Center: Guys, you're gonna have to compromise, let's just do /some/ genocide
Right: I guess I can live with that for now
Left: No
Center: See, this is why no one likes the left, you guys are the real extremists, smh
Centrism isn't a party. It can't "switch sides". It's an ideology. An ideology which exists exclusively in relationship to the context from which it's born. The ideology of centrism, by definition, exists in the same place in all contexts. And the political reality of what the left and right do in any given context, contesting or maintaining the status quo, means that the centrist is always, defintionally, just conservative lite. We conserve some stuff but not others. They keep this ideological cancer even when the right wants to literally genocide. The OP is a joke, but it's based in the historical reality of centrist politicians and their voting base under liberal democracy. I urge you to read a book, ideally something outside of the American education business.
Suggestions?
