Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

I get that. The fact that I can be "apolitical" exposes the incredible privelage I have, in the place I live, the color of my skin, my gender and sexual expression.

Perhaps my insulation from politics makes me less empathetic than I could be, and makes it so I don't need to participate in world affairs like I could.

My problem is the sheer redundancy of it all. In my case, a two party system where both sides are shitty, the presidency is an old-ass white sausage fest.

I guess to me the discussion is all noise, because the moral choice is always more obvious than what the prejudiced assholes would have anyone believe.

Yes, I will vote to protect trans rights and lives.
