Lol, some leftists need to get over the fact that not everyone will agree with their pov, and that doesn’t mean those who disagree are “center” or “liberal”, whatever the fuck they think those labels mean. I am tired of what feels like emotional blackmail by hardliners who insist that their biased opinions are definitive progressivism, or that they are the arbiters of truth or justice. But continue being wrong, it’s just you losing credibility 🤷‍♀️ Truth and justice require a principled and unbiased approach towards morality, ethics and philosophy. I believe people can do better than zero-sum realpolitiks, I guess that’s just my naïve take.

Yes, you're correct. But this isn't the right platform to expect updoots for saying the correct thing.

This here is Lemmy... Founded by tankies, and unfortunately today tankies seem to be wanting their platform back. The may get it back, at this rate... Which sucks, because so many platforms these days are so insanely far-right.

There isn't really a home for many of us any longer. It's genuinely depressing... Just far right, and far left places, where the dumbasses of the world love to yell.

Your argument is quite compelling, but I'm going to side with the person you're denigrating on this one. I'm sorry...

I'm just not very far-right... So I can't fully get into your mindset.

That's not what zero-sum means. Implied strawman. Insisting that your own position is the arbiter of unbiased truth and justice without demonstrating it (because obviously).

Lol k.

I disagree strongly with this. You simply have no leg to stand on here.

Tell it to what words mean

The worst thing to come out of social media discourse is ad hominem attacks (attacking a person) being perceived as attacking the argument itself. What an annoying take, no one is a god or angel. We have to do the work to find truth and justice.

Wasn't an ad hominem either, and that certainly wasn't invented by social media.

What are you doing, fam? Is this satire itself? Please stop co-opting debate club culture, I paid for my right to use these words.
