It’s kind of awful to realise how much peoples ability to reason critically is distorted by ideology. It’s like suddenly everyone is taking crazy pills. Admittedly it is much worse online than in the real world, for whatever reason.

It is the same with any ideologies, including left wing ones

Yes! Finally, somebody says it! The people who want to end the exploitation of the working class carried out by the bourgeoisie are really basically the same as the people who want to maintain that system of exploitation! After all, they both call each other bad people, both think that they are correct, and both resort to violence to settle it! I've been working on an extension of horseshoe theory called "Polarized Principles are Balanced", or PPB; link to a short introduction.

I think my thinking is distorted by left wing ideology, and recognising that is important, even if it's based

[-] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

I mean, that’s a strange take because the left has historically been on the side of the powerless

[-] ntzm@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

I mean I consider the actions of one group better than another group doing the same action because of their political leaning, not just based on the action. I think this is ok but it's important to check yourself sometimes because you can end up defending some awful shit if you're not careful, see libs and Ukraine etc.

Everything in moderation, except for the phrase "everything in moderation" right?

In the past like 8 years liberals have devolved into feral creatures.

Book recommendation on this topic: Terry Pratchett's "Jingo".

Ohoho, but look at that slightly different patch of grass on the Orange side - they could easily be hiding bodies under there! The probabilities all line up, so they're definitely up to something malicious! Nothing to prove otherwise, and it'd be absurd for them not to that (knowing how evil they are). Wait, you seriously don't think they're hiding bodies? Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuc

This is what colonizers and empires think, regardless of their left / right political leanings.

[-] SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net 31 points 11 months ago

"left-wing" and "empires and colonizers" is an oxymoron

[-] axont@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago

which colonizers have been left leaning?

[-] GivingEuropeASpook@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Yall get that the message of this comic is that the people on all sides of a conflict supposed to be treated like humans, not that you're supposed to just flip it around in comparison to the mainstream opinions, right?
