"Politics"

Had kind of a similar conversation with my dad recently. "I'm sorry you feel that way." "Well they're cutting Medicaid, so we'll see how that goes for you."

Tolerance paradoxically demands intolerance of the intolerant.

More often than not, MAGA tend to stab themselves in the back. They just don't have the self-awareness for it.

I tried to support this artist on Patreon. Heard there were NSFW comics there. Well, yes, but mostly a creepy OnlyFans-esque collection of nearly nude sexy photos of the artist, with frequent calls for payment for explicit nudes.

Only artist Patreon I’ve ever unsubscribed from for content reasons. (I’m married, intended to support an artist, not to gawk at an OnlyFans.) From what I can tell from kemono, she’s still doing it.

I’m genuinely not sure if I’m being too sensitive or if this is genuinely behavior that shouldn’t be supported. Comics like this one are really good. I’m torn.

I seriously had a Right-Wing friend of mine try to tell me that

"The Trans needed some pushback because they were simply demanding too much" Card

Which hurt, especially with a "You need to learn to compromise, we're not asking much. It's not going to tear your arm off to put biologically accurate data onto government documents." Stat Boosting Spell Card he threw down when I pointed out that Trump was ordering people to put M's on Transwomen's documentation

I'd never been more insulted in my life. Bro had no clue he was legitimately saying the modern version of "Look the Government just needs to know your background, wearing that Star of David in public isn't going to get you killed."

Thankfully he was willing to listen when I pointed that goof out to him.... He's still a Right Winger who's now willing to walk back his statements in favor of "Agree to disagree"

I love my friend and I'd stand up if his rights were being violated, I'm just horrified to realize he absolutely will not show me the same decency.

This is my attitude whenever someone complains about there being too much 'politics' in everything.

Everything touches politics, but we only notice it when it adversely effects us. The people who take as granted that politics is it's own thing are usually the people who are the most privileged by it.

Is the “just because we disagree on politics we can still get along” frame of mind generally a conservative thing? Because on one hand, it makes sense. On the other hand, I find it very difficult, for example, to look past the fact that some conservatives want to stop aid to Ukraine (as a Ukrainian living in the US).

We really need a deadly plague that's easy to vaccinate against.

I'll take my downvotes, but while I agree with the sentiment in this particular comic I have no fucking interest in seeing shitty pizzacake and her no-punchline comics or her army of sycophants here on Lemmy.

I will never understand why some of you insist on bringing the garbage we left Reddit to escape over here to Lemmy. Let pizzacake have her tiny window of microcelebrity on reddit and please spare the rest of us this bullshit.

You don't have to be RUDE to me, I just want your abuelos rounded up and deported/ in a prison/ forced labor camp/ disappeared what's the problem here!?

My sister has lost several friends when they voted MAGA and showed their true, horror selves. My sister is a hero.

Philosophy Tube recently did a great video on exactly this. It's on Nebula for those who subscribe.

This artstyle looks like "what if Control Alt Delete was drawn by someone who had fashion sense and also talent".

I like it.

Gave a down arrow for the artist not the message

I hate this art style almost as much as I hate Ben Garrison's

It's silly to me to see either side point a finger and say "they do this or that" . The minute you categorized a single person as a group you already lost the argument. This applies to both sides. Don't be a fool and decide that if your friend votes differently than you that it's an attack on you personally. There are only 2 main voted for parties with many different stances on many different things all lumped into a party. Just bc you're in part A doesn't mean you agree with all of it.

...at first i thought this was because some left Parties don't care about all these stabbings.

But that's more an issue in Western Europe then while MAGAs show their potential of destructivity in US.

Wow, are conservatives murdering and assassinating transexuals for being transexuals now? Where are the news about these events?

I do not believe conservatives are mad at or hate transexuals

I do believe, however, Conservatives don’t really care what you do on your own. Most disagree with transexuals in general, but most also aren’t interested in bossing you around.

I believe your post presumes wrongly that conservatives are spending their days obsessively looking for ways to control or cause either direct or indirect harm to you. They’re not.

The only things they are not really okay with and won’t allow you to do is pushing your views on them.

I understand they will be okay if you don’t ask them to change the facts on your birth certificate (yes, conservatives see what is in there as facts, you can disagree, but that’s how they see it)

I believe conservatives will be mostly okay if you don’t try to pass laws that punish them for not getting on board with your chosen views.

Same as well with using the state apparatus, taxpayer money, or use public schools to push your views.

They would probably be okay with consenting adults being free to dress in whatever way they want and do whatever they want to their own bodies.

However they would be also expecting to not be compelled in any way whatsoever to play along.

Again, that would mean no laws would be made to compel people to use pronouns or any other language they believe to be untrue.

Most surely, they would like that, In the same vein as dressing up differently doesn’t give you access to opposite sex bathrooms, getting surgical procedures done on yourself wouldn’t also give you access to the bathrooms of the opposite sex.

Very probably, In an ideal conservative world, transition surgery would be categorized as an elective cosmetic surgery, and advertised as such.

But yeah I'd like to see some sources on the murderstabs
