Futurama is just a slightly different Simpsons!

We are enemies now

I was going to comment that OPs meme sums up db0 really well, but this one does that even better.

One thing the right is good at doing is falling in line, no matter that the agenda being pushed.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's mostly due to the rights belief in hierarchy. It doesn't matter if the person above you has different views than you if you believe their right simply because they're higher up the pecking order.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

One thing I've always wondered, who/what decides their hierarchy?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

Thry guy who finds himself on top determines the hierarchy until someone supplants him ny whatever means.

Yeah the flaws of leftists is understanding what they are voting for and not operating purely on loyalty.

The right opposes free thought and favors conformity to support the privileged few.

The left favors free thought and opposes conformity, because that would impede social progress.

Yeah, I wonder why one of those groups is likely to have public arguments.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not necessarily. Some leftists demand conformity in beliefs. "If you don't believe XYZ, you're a shill/neoliberal/fascist etc."

I feel like favoring free thought and opposing conformity leads to arguments, but demanding conformity leads to enemies (like this meme).

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

Some of the most authoritarian people I come into contact with on any kind of regular basis are “leftists” on Lemmy.

The ones in real life are not like that. I feel like Reddit’s moderation model really encourages it, and some of them started really taking it to heart when they came to Lemmy which copied that same model.

The problem is not public arguments, but groups rejecting other groups for ideological reasons. I personally know people who are like "you can be a communist, or you can be wrong".

The reality is that there are left groups, especially far-left groups, who will already dismiss your opinion on everything for not categorically rejecting a (social) markets economy. Doesn't matter if you agree in all other points.

So it's accurate but they're both wrong because

  1. He is the left.

  2. He shouldn't even be trying to converse with literal USSR advocates and literal anarchists as if they were part of his base.

I don't hate most leftists (or even non-leftists for that matter). I hate the kind that hate other leftists. The lemmy.ml tankies always complain that people who disagree with them are splitting the left, when they're the ones calling everybody who vaguely disagrees with them a liberal. Not purely an ML thing though, there's plenty of this kind of person in all camps.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I think lacking self awareness is a requirement to be a tankie

Yugopnik made a good point on the term "Leftist" and how its so broad that it includes many different idealogies that are quite honestly conflicting, i.e. stalinists, anarchists, etc., so that it appears leftists are always fighting since they are all lumped into the same category.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

I approve of any leftist as long as they are anti-authoritarian.

so that it appears leftists are always fighting since they are all lumped into the same category.

I always say it is because the left in general has its roots in old school liberal value of "think for yourself". So there typically tends to be maverick attitude and in-fighting. The best example is the Spanish Republicans during the Spanish Civil War; you have soc dems, communists and anarchists fighting together not just against fascists, but also themselves. The right, meanwhile value order and hierarchy, so they tend to easily set aside their differences. Again, the Spanish Civil War is the best example, with the Spanish Nationalists also composed of various factions with competing agenda, but managed to set aside their differences, which made it easier to do because they had a strong man figure to rally to.

I have never met a leftist I didn't like

but I only consider somebody a leftist if they respect human rights.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I'm always under the assumption that everyone can be an asshole. I had a very good friend qnd we're both vegans. To me it's just a dietary choice that i made, for her it was almost like a religion. Like when she met someone who was also a vegan or saw someone on tv that was a vegan, she always assumed that it's a good person, or just rooted for that person, no questions asked.

I made this for a comment (about small-data images, jpegs) days ago:

A simplified polygonal scene, originally from Futurama scene that's styled like anime. Fry is saying "You and I are enemies now." while pointing at a jpegified Professor Farnsworth. Meta note: The scene was made in the Godot game engine.

I was recently banned for being "transphobic" for telling people what far right people believe about trans people, in the third person because I'm not far right nor have I ever been.

I've been pro-trans rights (AKA human rights) since I knew what the word "transgender" meant, which is going on twenty years or so now?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Lemmy has a REALLY bad problem with people who dont actually read comments and process them. They skim read the post, see a few keywords and then argue the point that they want to argue regardless of what the original comment was.

I'll start my own leftism, with Blackjack and hookers! If fact, forget the blackjack. Ah, screw the whole thing.

Nobody is left enough for anyone else on the left. You agree with me on an issue but differ on execution? You may as well be Trump!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just so we're clear, democrats are blue conservatives and are not leftists.

The meme is still accurate though. Why does Futurama look so anime? Did i miss a new episode?

Is this Anime Futurama?

(Seriously, wtf is this shit?)

Edit: Lol okay, they did a weird episode.

Futurama is gonna look so funny if they actually committed to doing Japanese-Style Animation for future episodes 🤣, like it'd be comedy gold.

I seriously wish leftist unity was more of a thing. And no, liberals, I’m not talking about you.

Liberals are only considered “the left” in the USA. I am not in the USA.

Its almost as if a single dimension is not big enough to describe the diversity of human political thought.

Are we talking about actual leftist infighting, or mistaking liberals for the left and calling it infighting?

Also I'm almost certain that the actual left infights far less than the right. The only reason two Trump administrations hasn't started the literal fourth reich yet is because they infight so hard that they can't stick to any plan.

There are inherently more ways to imagine changes than to point at the status quo.

Why do leftists adopt all the most horrible traits of trump supporters?
