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 Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years.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
I'm not bragging. But I'm also not going to hide my beliefs because people don't like it. Accusing centrists of things like that is the same as accusing libs of abandoning military personnel in combat zones. Also accusing them getting away with potential espionage (Clinton's basement computer). You see where I'm going with this?
Read some books, I beg you. Look at the position of every centrist party in every country in history before, leading up to and during every single war. They vote almost in lock step with the right, and often use the spectre of the "extreme left" to justify siding with fascists. Please, just do a little reading about Weimar Germany, pre-fascist Italy, imperial japan etc.
Thanks for the info. But as far as I know we aren't talking about Weimar Germany or pre-fascist Italy, or imperial Japan. Political parties change. After the Civil War the democratic and republican parties flipped. Lincoln was a republican, but in this day and age, he would swing more left. And I might have a Mississippi education, but last time I checked, you can be in a certain party and disagree with the stands. If that weren't the case, then I guess Liz Cheney is wrong for stepping and pointing out that something is wrong with the republican party?
If you think there are no similarities between the current US and the Weimar Republic you either are excited about where it went or you are just genuinely that ill informed.
You can be in a certain party up to a point. At a certain point, you are choosing loyalty and in group affiliation over morals. Also Liz Cheney is an imperialist shitbag like her dad, she was right about literally one thing and is otherwise abhorrent.
