Here’s the problem: the one with the purple hair wants civil rights and safety, and the one with the red hat wants to punch the one with the purple hair repeatedly. Can’t really compromise like that. Need to fight red hat and billionaire at the same time, which is bullshit.
Ok but that's a reductive view of human beings. Average MAGA folks are uneducated and propagandized, but they aren't evil and viewing them as such feeds into the culture war.
You need to construct a vision of society that allows both to succeed. Everyone is struggling these days and you need to construct a society that values all people.

wow, I guess you should tell them to stop being dicks instead of coming to leftwing spaces and telling us to hug the bullies.
Also, the one with the red hat is probably fine with the billionaires.
Certainly, he's just one good idea away from being one himself!
I always thought this meme was directed at right wing working class people because the left is already fighting the class war while also defending civil rights against "culture warriors"
There's also a good chance that one or both is a troll online.
this meme is dumb and short-sighted and the commenters are right.
it isnt a culture war conservatives are inciting, it is a war on civil rights.
In much of the public's eye, it is a culture war. That’s what determined their vote and support.
The whole point of eroding civil rights is to help billionaires.
Always has been.
The public gets things wrong, that's why it's important to set the record straight rather than serve up pablum.
"The whole point of eroding civil rights is to help billionaires..."
claiming an absolute regarding complex and differentiated issues is how you know something is pablum.
The long-term conservative judicial and legislative campaign the meme incorrectly refers to has a lot to do with race and religion, for example.
"Always has been".
this is just a line from a short-sighted meme that is often incorrectly used, including here by you. it's a fun phrase that means nothing, it's confetti stuck in your sock.
It's not a culture war if they make policy based on it. Can't really be shouting from the fence at the migrants being detained, put in camps and deported or the women being denied abortions or the trans people being arrested for having to pee that the culture war is a distraction and if they only looked at it from a class perspective everything would be fine.
I mean, you can, but after a while it starts to suspiciously just seem like you actually agree with the fascists and the anarchocapitalists on the issues, or at least that you're just as willing to use attackig marginalized scapegoats for your own political gain.
They're enforcing their version of culture, a very white conservative one. "Culture war" doesn't mean completely unserious, the consequences are very real.
It is a distraction from the root cause, they have people voting against their own self interest to make minorities suffer rather than demand better working and living conditions. It's redirected anger wielded for their gains.
It's hypocritical republicans who LOUDLY incite and stoke any of the culture wars you refer to. Anyone with half a brain can see that since at least two decades ago.
Yet another reason in a very long list as to why both parties are NOT the same. But that ship has sailed, I have lost all faith in the american electorate. Stubbornly ignorant, utterly misguided voters allowed the noisy felons back in, and they will NOT give up power on good faith. All while global warming continues to ramp up. It's too fucking late.
I really don't understand this comment (maybe I need to go to sleep), but I don't see OP referring to any culture war, and I can't say Republican's are the only ones inciting culture wars (they might be inciting the ones I disagree with, but it is a culture war to push for equal rights)
Republicans srarted the abortion bogeyman as a way to get religious people to vote for them. Before that, nobody really gave much thought to it.
Many that fight for civic rights, also fight the class war, protesting for both
Civil rights are actually a good platform to spread social awareness
They also got you posting the truth on a shitpost sub
Check out the most recent Red flag radio podcast episode with April, a tran activist for Rainbow Rights. They discuss how social justice is connected to economic justice, how it's all tied up in the class earlier against capitalism.
OPs political views and opinions are apparently shotposting worth
Well when the red hats are fighting for the oligarchs it's not quite the same is it
Its not the same. Those dumb MAGA animals are actively on the side of the rich. Don't compare us to those fucking people.
Yeah? How mad do you get over pronouns?
Honestly, I feel like getting rid of gendered pronouns is kind of woke. But unlike conservatives I understand what a pronoun is.
They both want to distract us, cuz if we actually work together we’d overthrow thfm
