    I’m confused. By all accounts Jerry and the entire cast came together to point out their hate for Trump and Republicans. But because he doesn’t agree with one issue he’s been labeled as a right winger? I’m so far left that young leftists think I’m too extreme, to the point where they call be right wing for disagreeing with every tiny thing they say. The young left have become the keepers of “right/wrong think”

    Edit: a lot of young people who call themselves left, are doing everything possible to push people away from the left, instead of making them allies.

      The “one issue” happens to be supporting a genocide, so it’s kind of a big one? I haven’t seen anyone calling him right-wing, but you can bet if cops were firing rubber bullets at peaceful student protesters under a republican administration, every lefty from NY to LA would be wringing their hands and crying “fascism”. The times they are a-changing my friend. It’s not just about left or right, and I’m glad these kids understand that.

      Can you point out where anyone labeled him as a “right winger?”

      Your comment is a complete false dichotomy based solely off a strawman argument.

        You’re not paying attention. I’ve seen him called right wing quite a few times outside of Lemmy, different forums etc. Also lots of articles out there essentially calling him the new right wing mouthpiece.

        All you gotta do is Google

          I’m so sorry to inform you of this, but in the year of our Zord 2024, we are no longer accepting “one of the ten billion apes, bots, advertising agencies, liars, and trolls who are screaming into the Internet at all times said something I disagree with” as a valid source of outrage, controversy, or secondhand conversation.

          Please understand that this is not personal, nor is it a judgement on your specific opinion. We would recommend addressing the comment you disagree with directly at its source, if you feel you must address it at all.

      And the dude openly dated a minor when he was nearly 40, "Shoshanna is a person, not an age. She is extremely bright. She’s funny, sharp, very alert. We just get along. You can hear the click.”

        Chappelle has said far worse things about every other race than Richards did about black people that night, but as we know that somehow doesn’t count

          You might not have noticed, but young adults aren’t big Chapelle fans these days either. The whole transphobia thing doesn’t play so well with the under-40s.

          And Chapelle’s comedy is cringe and awful, and completely unrelated to the topic at-hand. Nice strawman.

            I’m sure you love strawmen, you get to burn down someone whose opinion deviates from yours even a little. We used to call it “wrong think” when we were actually fighting for people’s rights and not just being arrogant assholes, pushing everyone away from the left.

          Sure this applies only if you also think that Chappelle should also be tarred and feathered. But you’re here wanting to forgive both of them.

      “”“One issue”“”

      Which is supporting a genocide.

      Also he’s recently joined the whole “woke has ruined comedy” bit. Which is very much right wing.

      Oh and he’s also a predator that dated a teenager when he was in his 30s.

      That’s how it works these days.

      I’m pro-trans, but I’m not pro-trans people in women’s sports. This makes me a anti-trans nazi in the vast majority of leftie/progressivist people’s eyes, who clearly is a closeted Trump supporter. It’s the whole ‘we must be intolerant of intertolerance’ type fo thing… but they’ve twist it to ‘we must be intolerant of any disagreement whatsoever with our unrealistic ideological agenda that has no basis in a factual reality’.

      There is no allowance for variance of reasonable opinion or an objective reality. You are with us, or against us, and therefore the enemy.

      Lefties and young folks who are left leaning tend to be as braindead and lockstep as the Trumpers they claim to hate.

      Sure you are, champ.

      they call be right wing for disagreeing with every tiny thing they say

      You’re so close to a moment of self-awareness, and yet so far.

            Must be true Insaan said it. If you only knew. I didn’t grow up in Western comfort like you, I’ve washed brains off my sidewalk after guerrilla offensives into my town. I’m a native of this continent, not some colonizer remnant. I’ve seen your western brutality and the hypocrisy and patriarchal bullshit that comes with it. All you do is talk on the internet but you don’t actually do Jack shit about anything. Grab your guns and travel to Gaza, that would be a start

      I’ve always found the left more annoying than the right. The right are wrong, but the left are self-righteous smug dickheads. Liberals are like a chimera of both and I think that’s why I hate them more than the right even though they’re objectively less bad. That’s my shitty analysis anyway.

      It’s just the rise of loud, groupthink edgelords, refusing to think past a hyper-emotional brainwash.

        Opposing a genocide and those who support it makes you a hyper-emotional edgelord? That’s quite the edgelord take on the subject.
