Thanks for the compliment kind Lemming :D

Can't agree more

Hehe

I've decided to answer your, likely rhetorical, question from your first comment and this one in one comment instead of two:

Perhaps the tankies are making you question some deeply held beliefs you have and that’s making you uncomfortable?

You're not wrong here. Even if my views don't differ that much in many ways from even the lemmygrad or hexbear users (at least on economical terms) there's still some topics that I just do not share their views on (You mentioned their stand on authoritarianism) and it does make me uncomfortable because very often you either have to 100% agree with them or are instantly excluded.

In the end, I'm usually hopping on to see memes to give my brain some distraction, enjoy some good banter or laugh at some quality memes and not see yet another online civil war unfold.

And for the last I'm often just too tired to participate in after 8hrs of work

Good thing I took it jokingly. I don't need them to sour my day. ;)

I wouldn't call myself that. Not on Lemmy and certainly not irl.

I usually manage to piss off both sides because whilst I do agree on a lot of things I usually fail to mention these ending up in listing the topics I disagree with them.

The word centrist itself it very relative as is "being right" and "being left"... one "being left" in the US would arguably be center right in many EU state. In the same way, "being center" on Lemmy means something entirely different than "being center" on X.

Tho I am certainly leaning more towards a certain ideology I do think that too much of it isn't healthy as is with pretty much everything. And just like a wise man once said: "Only the Sith deal in absolutes!"

Some claim .ml stands for marxist-leninist, some claim Dessa didn't choose it for that purpose. Personally idk but I'm mentally preparing for another round of this debate :')

Fuck it, this one time imma say sth:

Ah yes, now decide between unelectable and literally unelectable

Yes, I wouldn't care if it was occasionally (1/20 or 1/30), but it's more like 1/3 and always the same sub narratives and the same people joining in with their pre-written comments they already used in 5 memes or so. And I don't want to tackle someone specifically as I have seen various examples on all political sides.

And it's not that I'm apolitical. I just don't think I need to convince anyone that my personal beliefs are the only correct ones out there. Our fundamental views and beliefs are being shaped by our environment and our personal experiences alongside many other factors. You may have certainly had other experiences in life than me and that's perfectly fine.

Sometimes when seeing a political comment I'm thinking about only replying "Cool 👍" regardless of whether I agree or not... Better than writing half an essay wasting another hour of valuable life time for literally nothing.
