I’m a liberal: but apparently my comedic tastes are right wing?

No deflection pls.

You made an accusation that Republicans are retarded

When pressed for evidence, you linked an article asserting that Republican families typically have lower incomes and, conversely, Democrat families have higher incomes.

When questioned, you called me braindead or disingenuous.

Your argument still isn't clear. Please enlighten me.

I'd rather just keep calling you a moron, personally.

Don't worry about it. The whole left and right thing is absolute pish. I know a lot of people who make dark jokes, laugh at dark shit etc in real life. In fact it's quite normal. It's only really online I find so many people taking offense to that kind of stuff.

This is true, go on any political forum and post a joke about Trump. The same people calling everybody else snowflakes cry like whiny bitches. The left and right both treat these politicians like they can do no wrong and anything spoken bad about them is a personal slight.

Accurate.
 
Modern political spectrum:

⬅️-left-everything is life or death/ joking and laughter belittles the struggles of non-binary folk

➡️-Right—-Able to watch comedy and laugh without having an internal crisis over wether or not they are now aiding and abetting Nazis.
 
That place is such a shit hole. It's pointless even engaging in any conversation unless it's inline with what the hive mind is preaching. God forbid if you actually provide facts to back up your claims if it is against the hive mind there. Some shithead will find a way to discredit your source and proceed to pile on you until you say something ban-worthy over there, which isn't much by the way. Oh by the way, if you're a fan of Joe Rogan or you say anything along the lines of being a centrist you're considered a racist fuck by those people LOL!!!
 
You all need to understand something, having dark or edgy humor is what normal human beings do and it's not a political statement, you can be both left and right and still like that kind of humor.

What is a political statement is trying to censor that kind of humor because your cult demands it. And btw the vast majority of these nutjobs aren't left, they're mostly radlibs, a political ideology that overcompensates for supporting corporate shills like Hillary Clinton or Biden by going full retard on social issues. It's the same people that are trying to paint Bernie as a racist and sexist on twitter to support unapologetic corporate puppets like Buttchug or Biden.

Resetera

Do not ever make the mistake of thinking extreme leftist nutcases are a model for what "liberal" sensibilities should be. ResetEra is quite literally a bubble world where the mods cull any dissenting opinions or remarks that they personally view as "offensive".

The only thing the mods there are "models" of is the very real mental illness of toxic self-righteousness.


Edit:

This goes for all of you, too.

ResetEra's moderation isn't "liberal", they are extremely liberal. Like what you'd expect from the phrase "Extremely right-wing". I'm sure the majority of left-leaning people understand that not everyone who puts a little pepper in their humor are out to damage the vulnerable downtrodden and perpetuate a cycle of discrimination against.....whomever.

goes without saying, i'm banned too lol

I dont get how centrist got the meme of just not believing in anything....well except seeing it being perpetuated by the extreme left most of the time.

I believe in gay marriage and rights...but I dont believe you should be thrown in jail for calling someone a homophobic slur under "hate speech" laws

I believe in gun ownership but I dont think that you are entitled to them when you have a violent criminal record or history of mental illness. etc.etc.

Seems like unless you tow the ideological lines on either side you are labeled as a wishy washy centrist....or just a member of the opposing side.

Exactly. I'm a liberal. But not liberal enough to want to be there. That's an echo chamber made up of those dipshits you see whining about literally everything on Twitter. White chef made an Asian dish and posted a picture? CULTURAL APPROPRIATION! They're not liberals. They're mental patients.

Pretty much.

I've learned so much arguing with the people there, and i've just come to realize that the mental illness that leads to the rise of right-wing extremists is the exact same thing that fuels the kind of people who seek comfort in a community like ResetEra.

not that it has anything to do with 95% of the people who actually post there. But the way they think is so dangerously self righteous....they are immune to any reason outside of their own and are absolutely convinced that the things they believe are (and SHOULD BE) the objective truth.

The only reason they don't become violent is because that isn't what the rhetoric preaches. But they're absolutely destructive nonetheless. It's still just a source of endless discord and divisiveness with no avenue to find a common ground to actually fix anything. Only gather more soldiers.

The far left does understand humor. It is just that they have self-selected to abstain from any type of humor.

They know fully well that
1, if they laugh at the wrong joke, they will be thrown out of the tribe and harassed forever
2, they are just a single mis-fired joke away from being unpersoned and threatened forever

It is just not worth the risk to laugh at a joke or to try to crack a joke themselves.

I believe in gay marriage but there is a slippery slope when you devalue what it is to be married. Gay marriage moves the Overton window so that worse things become part of the conversation like tranny story time at the library and decriminalization of polygamy in Utah.

We have gun control laws already. You have to go through a process to legally buy a gun. Yet we constantly hear about how we need to ban more guns. (Despite the 2nd amendment said that this right shall not be infringed.)

No matter how much conservatives capitulate to liberals and centrists we always end of losing more in the end. Anything conservatives give up is never enough.

Being a centrist while living in this time of radical leftism really makes me think that centrist is actually code for retard. The left won the cultural argument but now the right are Nazis.

You think you're being reasonable here. The liberal thinks they're being reasonable. Yet, from what I can tell, the only ones who were being reasonable were conservatives who allowed the cultural window to move leftward. Yet they're still Nazis.

I was left 4 years ago. Now I'm lean right. I'm not a centrist cause I'm not a retard who thinks that the left can behave responsibly with any modicum of power at this point in time. Nor am I okay with the racists from the left inciting more racism from the right. The more you call white people racist just for being white then you're actually making racism a bigger problem for our country.

my man....I dont even know what the fuck you are trying to say here

I am being reasonable, you just seem to be attributing a bunch of the lefts additional baggage to the couple of ideas that I posted, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid and just kinda proves my final point that each side accuses you of being the other. Centrism is bucking the group think mentality of left and right when looking at an issue and coming up with the most reasonable conclusion that you can draw regardless of which side of the political fence it falls on...or at least thats what its always meant to me. If that's "retarded" and we will be subject to the further polarization of politics where there is zero overlap and zero compromise and each party accuses the other of being an existential threat, then we are are truly fucked. We will just get locked into this cycle of trying to get "our" guy elected/appointed so he can just give the middle finger to that other team for no other reason than to stick it to the Right or "own the libs"

Not to take sides but personally I hate the terms "The Left!" And "The Right!" It's a damn binary construct created by both parties to otherise the opposite party. Social media and the Media writ large have made it easier to dismiss and tune out the other side as "evil" or "stupid". Let's not do that here.

The far left would have died of a heart attack at the comedy in the 80's/early 90's if they had been alive, most of those nutters now are under 25.

Even comedy before my time in the 70's here in the UK by the likes or Alf Garnett, whilst a lot of that is in not suitable compared to today (outright racist) and a lot of that stuff when I saw the repeats made me smh, never once did I go out and yell at someone to ban it though.

You just walk away or pick up the remote & turn it over, especially if you are in control, it's like you want to be outraged.

Imagine ringing up and complaining to the BBC or ITV Like they did back in the day, today's equivalent to that is Social Media complainers, you really have to sad, like those kids at school noone liked who put their hands up & grass every little thing up "Miss Miss....so & so didn't do their homework" Real life Millhouse & Martin Princes, bloody teahers pets, I was a quiet/good student but even I hated them.

To say nothing of Monty Python and transphobia...I once heard someone put that label on Ru Fucking Paul. Hell im sure some folks would take issue with Shakespeare's use of cross dressing actors in today's climate lol. The puritans who founded this country seem to have lost religion and replaced that drive with being offended by literally everything as their call to arms.

It's so fucking stupid.

Anyone could step back and realize that the whole purpose of even sticking to the outdated 2-party system is that it ensures the stability of the people that are currently in power. Even when it shifts, it never breaks. The "left" and the "right" are bubble realities where the other is the fucking enemy, and there is NO fundamental overlap of interest, whatsoever. No reason, no logic, no nothing.

It's literally just multiplayer Halo, Red vs. Blue ad infinitum

So, be left and right. Conservative and liberal. The order makes no difference.

Basically, I have views?

That's very much the problem right now, there's practically no middle or compromise anymore. Especially when it comes to the internet, it's just devolving into trying to spite the other side, just because at this point.

I feel like everything will have to burn down for people to come to their senses and realize that leaning hard into either side isn't solving shit. Eventually, it just stops becoming about the important things and just becomes a way of saying 'fuck you' to the other side. Era is super guilty of that shit when it comes to the left, but gaf has been too when it comes to the right as well at times.

It just gets old seeing everything taken to the extremes constantly. Neither being liberal or conservative itself isn't a problem, but the lengths people take it to now, without any willingness to compromise, is.

I mean i guess?

People tend to forget that people are people. Yeah alot of people believe shit strictly because they're told to, and we can't really stop that

but they're still people, and so common ground can always be found methinks
