    You’ve mistake me for a republican and or a conservative. I’m neither.

    I’m against echo chambers and “my side and their views are right by default, all others are wrong” views. That’s what this community seems to be, unquestionably. Look at everything that’s posted - it’s all anti-republican/conservative.

    Again - your entire post just proves my point.

      I’m a leftist, and I’m “mistaken” for a republican all the time. It’s projecting. A lot of what is accused of by my party they are guilty of themselves. They’re crazy if they don’t think their own rhetoric isn’t just as bad or worse than what Republicans currently say.

      The brainwashing into being able to dehumanize others is horrific. Yet here we are.

        The current “left” seems to be “as soon as you disagree with any of my points, you’re a MAGA Trumper Republican Nazi”.

        You can be trying to fight climate change, want all people to have equal rights, be pushing for a UBI, supporting reparations for indigenous people, but the second you dare say “hey maybe we should just keep the books telling you how to have anal sex away from the 10 year olds?” you’re instantly a nazi.

        The only person you’re fooling is yourself.

        Also, “leftism” isn’t a party.

        And I’m not dehumanizing anyone. They’re all human. Just very shitty versions.

          I’m not a Democrat, I don’t agree with the fact that they’ve lined up with the military-industrial-complex or that the elites they answer to are on the same playing field as the republican answer to. I refuse to vote blue no matter who.

      Politics and vitriol aside, well done on winning the Ashes. The fifth test starting tomorrow should be a cracker.

        Cheers. Pretty shitty way to win tbh. I hate draws in a sport where a match has gone for 5 bloody days.
