Both sides see in black and white, but for far different reasons, the far left want to eliminate the concept of profit over people, while the far right want to eliminate people that dont fit inside their rigid and arbitrary ‘moral’ structures.
Did you notice how you cant refute my statement? Leaving your only option to call this a one sided assessment of the status quo, while in actuality it sums up of the state of current affairs quite succinctly. Popcorn do be good though.
The left is the party of trying to help the lowest so everyone can live a decent life and the right is the party of trying to achieve the best possible life for a few of the highest
You’re just supporting this clueless “both sides” narrative with exactly no nuance. The right is factually incorrect and is centered around supporting hierarchy, regardless of vibes, while the left opposes hierarchy. Polarization is not what’s wrong with American society, it’s a symptom of the underlying cause, which is Capitalism’s decay.
It’s interesting innit, that the reddit migration to Lemmy gave the most vocal ideologues a place to gather, and a reason not to go back. I wonder if the discussion on Reddit is a bit more nuanced now?
Far right: everything is black and white.
Far left: everything is blue and pink.
Reality:
Both sides see in black and white, but for far different reasons, the far left want to eliminate the concept of profit over people, while the far right want to eliminate people that dont fit inside their rigid and arbitrary ‘moral’ structures.
That’s the left view of left vs right, now do the right view of left vs right.

No, they were right the first time.

The right-wing view is “morally superior, upstanding, decent, hard-working” vs. “godless, naive, degenerate traitors and smelly hippies”.
Aye, reverse it and replace godless with god-fearing, and hippies with rednecks, and you nailed it!
Dehumanize “the other” and you can say and do whatever you want, as long as it’s against the other team. Populace Control 101.
Sad to see so many people falling for it so rampantly, but inevitable. It’s just the Internet during American election season at this point.
They don’t understand it, but you just beautifully summarised the problem with American society right now.
Ah, the classic tactic of “if people disagree, it’s because they don’t understand!”
Yep. That’s clearly how it has and always will work across the non-US globe. Got me!

The true beauty of the atom.
