Some light genocide

Why are millennials killing genocide?
Has the woke agenda gone too far?
Because of avocado toast
Your average boomer is now in their 70's. They are buying up property and mistreating their kids. Life is good, they think. Then they find out the youth are eating an easy food combo they never even fucking heard about, but one that's cheap and amazing. "Avocado Toast? What the fuck is this shit? Spike the prices on avocado! Push it out of their price range!" I'm sorry sir! Avocado is cheap. It's easily farmed. "Spike the prices" they scream, remembering their days on the stock market. They expect reason. Dominance An end to avocado toast. But it never comes. They watch aghast as young people continue to consume avocado toast despite their anger, and they take it personally. "If it's so good why didn't I get to have it when I was young???" they scream. They all lose their minds as the avocado trees bloom.

Centrists - making the world a friendlier place for fascism since forever.
"Centrists" are just right wing individuals who do not want to be seen as right wing publicly. They're quite literally there to facilitate a transition from whatever status quo to a more right-wing leaning one periodically.
This is easy to see whenever you have an election with a right-wing candidate and a ""center-left"" one. The right wing one wins - where all these extra votes came from?
Addendum: ""center-left"" does not exist and is an illusory political position.

Centrist is picking and choosing from each side, not doing a little of everything.
I'm also picking and choosing from each side, which is why I'm a leftist. Does that make me a centrist?

Interesting how everyone seems to think this tweet from 2018 seems to refer to th situation in Gaza in 2023.
Right?! When I posted it, I was making a statement about enlightened centrism and not even thinking about the Gaza situation. Instead of genocide you can insert any morally abhorrent thing that should not be tolerated. But I get why people think it's related, it's on everyone's mind. Thank you for noticing though.

To be fair, the situation in Gaza isn't new and was probably the same in 2018

I can't believe someone with an anime profile picture isn't spouting bigoted nonsense.
I usually see anime profile pics submitting code to Linux open source projects.

That's because it's a Nichijou anime profile picture. That's a green flag in my book.

Cough Israel cough.
Ha, you activated my trap card. I play not-so controversial opinion. Flavor text, "Biden is center right."

Are you 'murican? I don't think the rest of the world agrees on any of the US's "definitions" of left, right and liberal. From a European POV, the US democrats are really, really far to the right. Sanders might be leaning toward the center. The republicans are a strange mixture of libertarian regarding economical matters and very very right-wing/intrusive on personal matters. Whenever someone even mentions/comments other people's sexual orientation and identity I automitcally assume they are creep that wants to sniff other people's bedsheets. How can you be partly libertarian and also creepily nazi-intrusive? US-republican invention I can't wrap my head around, that is.

You people make up such fantasies in your head. This is far from the common trail of thought.
Bro/Sis this is what is happening in the debate about refugees in Germany right now so no, actually you are wrong

Enlightening comment section. Very revealing discussions on our current political discourse.
"Data for Progress" poll even back on Oct. 21 showed a majority of Republicans wanted a ceasefire. Half of Republicans in this Reuters/Ipsos poll:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/15/poll-us-israel-support-hamas-war
It would be a mistake to characterize this as a left/right issue. That's a classic pattern for drawing up support for inhumane policies, telling "the right" that "the left" wants something and that therefore they should oppose it. This is a basic issue of lives vs. deaths, human rights vs. an oppressive fascist regime, don't allow it to be reframed in these other ways that distort it.
Did you see the date on the image? This is not about the war, but showing the absurd position of centrists on extremist positions
