    i used to struggle to understand why americans refused to see that the ukrainian far right is so empowered until i came to lemmy and see the election results; now i understand that we’ve been punching left for so long that the the right seems reasonable.

      Probably because the party politics of a particular country do not ever justify the military invasion of said country.

            You’re a nincompoop not because I disagree with you but because 1) you thought free speech was the domain of the left and 2) you think the center right is the new left.

            These are both demonstrably inaccurate statements about reality and represent a form of vibes-based politics, quite commonplace, wherein ignorance is considered to be a position from which respectable opinions can be formed. It’s poppycock. All of it. Your skull is full of mashed potatoes.
