Maybe just keep to the porn, eh?
Comment on Phasers set to "Bitch please"
MyPornAlt@lemmynsfw.com 1 year agoI’m all for the idea of wokeness, but there are those that take it to an extreme. Those that would silence a black man making a honest case for color-blindness, calling him racist. Those that won’t put in any thought before declaring anyone who disagrees with them a racist/transphobe/xenophobe etc etc etc.
There is room for honest discussion and critical thinking, but there is this mob mentality ultraleft (and yea this exists in the right too) that seems incapable of critical thought and only capable of hating anything that opposes the groupthink.

Forgot to switch accounts, whoops. Easy to do when you always casually browse c/all

Can you give us a good example that is exclusive to the ultra left, which doesn’t involve bigotry or “just asking questions” talking points?
Otherwise, the whole groupthink problem is a much wider issue, and why the two party system in the US is a problem.

Oh, no it is an everybody issue. It’s just what puts me off from people I otherwise frequently agree with.

You know, it’s possible to be a leftist and still not agree 100% with the everything.
The response to my comment is precisely what I hate about the left. And yet, I’m still so much more aligned with the left that I could ever be with the right.
PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You’re not wrong, but this thread is the first time I’ve seen someone make that argument and not immediately dive into a bunch of alt-right talking points.

Remember when the ultraleft cancelled Bud Light?
MyPornAlt@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
So because the right is a bunch of fucking retarded donkeys, the left is infallible. Got it.

Arguing in good faith, I see.

I thought I was just matching your snarky tone.

you can always tell when someone has said something terrible and got called a fascist/nazi for it because they say stuff like this

It couldn’t be that I watched a talk like this:
youtu.be/QxB3b7fxMEA?si=_HLVoBr0moJg6Mkb
And liked the ideas, but then see that it’s being used to call the speaker racist and attempts at silencing him. Plus the unwillingness to even have a conversation.

You vilify the idea of “just asking questions” to the point that no one can ask questions. That leaves me standing here, not understanding your position, but unwilling to blindly accept everything I’m told to think.
Sure, there are people who weaponize “just asking questions”, but is the solution really just to call every person with a contrary opinion a fucking nazi?
echo64@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ah yes, the alt right debate me.bro youtube pipeline. You probably think you’re having this unique experience, but all the other losers went down the exact same path.
If you say shit that people think is racist or nazi like, people are gonna call you a racist or a nazi. You won’t have a fun time here because your weirdo alt right youtube pipeline shit has already started to corrupt your brain and people are gonna keep calling the weirdo shit you say racist, sexist, transphoblic, or nazi like.
Have a fun time trying to get people not to do that they want to do that, and we are all in full support. Maybe you’ll have a better time on the weirdo alt right social medias

Let’s say you’re right, shouldn’t people try to stop other from going down that pipeline? Send a Destiny video or something.
But I don’t think you’re right, I’ve been just about at this same point for 15 years.
I love having conversations because I love deeply understanding things. I toy with ideas like little fidget toys, sometimes they end up being more interesting or useful and sometimes a friend tells me it’s dangerous and I put that idea down.
I’m curious, did you see what videos I posted? It’s a black guy advocating for class based social justice. If he’s wrong, if the ideas he’s espousing are dangerous, I’d honestly like to understand how.
… but “debate me bro” and “I’m just asking questions” means I can no longer debate or ask questions. Well, at least on the internet.
Thankfully I’ve got friends who know me, understand my intents, and also seem to enjoy having these conversations with me.
