The White Army was a group loyal to the Tsar and blah blah blah commie BS

My man, I am a libertarian. Fuck whatever your interpretation of a big government utopia is, because it is most likely wrong.

That being said, I am fully aware of the flaws in my ideology - and there are many - but I enjoy libertarianism because it allows me to tell people like you to “GET OFF MY LAWN!” and not feel morally wrong for it.

Hey, beats being a fucking commie.

Yeah if you think Bush was an acceptable choice

Compared to Trump? Absofuckinglutely. Bush had no desire to be a dictator. Trump absolutely has ambition to be a dictator, and if you can’t figure out how one of those is worse than the other then you’re too clueless to participate in an adult conversation regarding this topic.

Additionally, who is that “boring liberal republic” better for? Certainly not Palestinians. Certainly not for union workers on our rail lines. Not for people becoming houseless. Not for queer people. Not for indigenous peeps, either Definitely Palestinians. Definitely union workers. Definitely homeless. Definitely queer people. Definitely indigenous people.

Fixed that for you.

If Kamala Harris had won, literally all the groups you just mentioned would be far better off than under a literal fascist dictatorship which Trump’s lackeys want to establish.

Honestly? I’m starting to believe lemmy is, like reddit, filled with a bunch of clueless college kids who haven’t set foot in other parts of the world and have no idea what it’s like to live under a dictatorship, and thus take the rights and freedoms they have completely for granted.

Sadly, Trump is about to teach us all a lesson in authoritarianism - You, myself, and everyone else on the planet.

The problem isnt commie guy, it’s all the other brainless sheep who keep voting for the same two parties who don’t represent them is definitely commie guy for not understanding that a boring and flawed neoliberal Democrat is preferable to a fascist dictatorship.

Fixed that for you.

Consider this: if all the people forced to vote opted to vote someone else, then the Dems would really understand why they’re failing, and more, you’d have the basis for an actual third party to from.

Wrong answer. That made sense under Clinton vs Bush or Obama vs Romney, not nowadays. We can “consider” your proposal when there’s not a damn fascist dictator threatening to send US citizens to an El Salvadorian gulag for disagreeing with the President.

Then again, commies tend to love gulag’ing people who disagree with them, just ask Stalin… So maybe commie guy sees the gulags as a good thing?

we live in a patriarchy. there is no such thing as misandry I am a misandrist bigot, but I don’t want people to call me out on my bigoted behavior, so I’m going to claim misandry doesn’t exist.

^ Fixed that for you.

Extremist beliefs such as yours are sadly a big reason why Democrats lost the 2024 election.

You are part of the problem. Do better.

Misogyny and misandry are unfortunately both very real and very bad.

Don’t blame you one bit. Best of luck with that!

I’ll engage with people when I feel it might be productive. Nobody likes talking to a brick wall.

1. Tate belongs in a jail cell. Period. He is human garbage who makes the world a worse place to live in.

2. I believe feminism is important nowadays, especially during the Trump years. The government is literally targeting women’s rights. That is unacceptable.

I might disagree with feminists from time to time, but I realize that overall, their hearts are in the right place. I can certainly not say the same about Tate and his ilk.

Yeah, fun fact: It’s wrong to stereotype people, and men happen to be people. Crazy, huh?

If I can correct men when they say dehumanizing and misogynist things about women, then you can correct women when they say dehumanizing and misandrist things about men.

This isn’t hard to understand. Please don’t be intentionally obtuse. It’s not a good look for you.

Complete the following sentence:

“Live by the sword, ___ __ ___ _____.”

Grown men seem to need more coddling than I got as a little girl … Sorry that evolution is hurting your brains right now

Unfortunately, attitudes like these are why Democrats lost an election that they damn well should have won by a landslide.

You, as a woman, now have fewer rights than you did 5 years ago. Want to have those rights restored? Well, you need to actually win elections for that to happen.

Do you believe that taking this type of attitude with “all men” (Who make up 50% of all voters, by the way) will help you win those rights that you lost back?

You are the one arguing in bad faith by straw-manning me. You entered this thread with a whataboutism. And you have been up and down this thread accusing anyone who disagrees with you is guilty of “Oppression Olympics” or that they don’t believe men’s issues exist.

^ Translation from Snippy to English: “I’m not here to actually engage in healthy debate: Rather, I’m here to pick fights and “win one for my team”. Also, I hereby volunteer to be on TheFudd’s block list, because I am incapable of having a civil discussion.”

Not cool. Do better.

I’m not here in good faith?

No. You aren’t. And your snippy little attitude problem, along with you misconstruing everything I say, is proof of that.

I will take your angry little diatribe as you conceding the argument, and volunteering to be on my block list.

Not cool. Do better.

“Liar”?

How about instead of having an attitude problem with me, we both agree that neither men nor women should be abused and both genders have unique issues that, in a healthy society, would be acknowledged and addressed?

Or are you just here to argue with someone?

you’re choosing to use that to invalidate other people who go through that? Wow.

Wrong - And knock off the pearl-clutching. I’m literally the one who just said that the whole “Oppression Olympics” mentality is toxic and needs to go.

Don’t misconstrue my message. This is not a zero-sum game. We can address the issues of both genders at once, and there’s nothing “all lives matter-ish” about saying that.

I’m starting to get the idea that you aren’t here to speak in good faith. If you’re just here because you want to win an internet argument for “your side”, go elsewhere for that.

Oh? Because I’ve experienced domestic violence at the hands of a woman.

Are you telling me that my life does not matter?

I refuse to belittle or diminish anyone’s suffering who’s been through domestic violence. Doesn’t matter if they are a man or a woman, I hope that your neighbor finds away to get out of their abusive situation.

So, no answer then?

Oh, you got your answer. You just didn’t like the answer - Probably because the answer acknowledged that men’s problems actually exist in this regard, and you don’t like that either.

You know what I didn’t like? My ex beating the shit out of me, and getting away with it every single time because just because she’s a woman.
