The Greenist isn't green enough. I'm not voting to send a message they need to earn my vote.
“This orange looks more green than the other orange, I’m going to vote for it and call myself a greenist.”
“Oh why is everything still orange? I voted for the green shade of orange!”
...yellow?
So you're choosing less green. Got it.
Only there's no greenish party, there's only orange and 99% orange 1% green, and the orange-greenist is a 99 year old person running 99% orange policy to appeal to moderate oranges
You literally are in the third panel.
The third panel is a centrist. It is not someone who is so green that nothing is green enough for them.
I'm mocking the leftists who flooded Lemmy with their "don't vote for Kamala" message.
Exactly. You are the green/orange in the third panel, complaining about being told you're too orange to be green.
You seem to have not understood the comic
Ultra-greens: "That green looks a little yellow-green. That's too close to orange! I'm so inclusive and tolerant. Why can't everyone just coexist like me?"
Look, if you really can't cope with not having the moral high ground of being green, maybe instead of bitching about it you can ditch the orange and get with the program.
Ultra-green: continues to dig heels in and insists that yellow-green is indeed orange, and that only super-ultra greens like themself are truly green and thus have the moral high ground.
Keep bitching all you want, man, we both know what you are.
Orange: "Anyone who doesn't agree with me must be annihilated!"
Ultra-green: "Only orangites must be annihilated, but anyone who doesn't agree with me is as bad as orange and therefore must also be annihilated."
Regular greens, blue-greens, and yellow-greens: "Look, we all have our differences, but let's have a civilized discussion and see if we can address everyone's concerns and find a workable solution that meets all our needs. Except for those orangites and ultra-greens, because they can't be reasoned with and just want to kill everyone who isn't on their side."
Orangites: "You're all radical greenist terrorists!"
Ultra-greens "You're all orangite fascists! We know what you are."
Orangites and ultra-greens high-five, as they're being radicalized by the same troll farms.
Satan laughing spreads his wings
You can try and blur the lines all you want, you'll still be what you are. And it's nobody's fault but yours.
It's not blurring the lines to say "yellow-green isn't orange" and the fact that you're insisting that it does kinda shows you for what you are.
You don't even fucking know me but you think you get to decide what I am because I had the audacity to suggest there's more nuance than simply your way or the fascists?
Of course you're not blurring the lines! You're not inserting a bunch of extra shades and colours into the discussion to blur lines, you're doing it for some different, other reason! Which is also why you're this tilted by being told you are what you are. Because you're not that, you're something else!
It's not blurring the lines at all to say "yellow-green isn't orange." That's a simple fact. The line is crystal clear. And it's not "a bunch of extra shades and colors. It's a fucking color, and it's not orange. Look at a color wheel if this level of nuance is too lofty for you.
You're the one blurring the lines by saying "actually, yellow-green is orange," and "if you're not unquestioningly on my side then you must be on the opposite." Not everything is black and white. Fascists are bad, yes, but it's also entirely possible to not be a fascist and still disagree with you. The fact that you can't seem to accept that means you're just as bad as the fascists.
And I'm not the one being "tilted," whatever that means, you're the one "bitching" so that's twice you've made accusations in a mirror. More fascist techniques. Get fucked.
Are you sure you're yellow-green, and not amber-green? Or acid-green? Or maybe arctic lime? I'm sure there's more shades we can cram in there...
I never even said I'm yellow green. I never said anything to indicate where I fall on the spectrum except in no uncertain terms that I'm not orange.
And yet you, knowing nothing about me, want to make guesses and conjectures as to where I fall on that spectrum? Based on nothing. Nothing except the vain hope you have that you'll find a reason to justify calling me an orange. Because all you have are strawmen, made-up arguments about circumstances that you've only imagined.
Also, "yellow-green" is a tertiary color. It's what you get when you mix yellow with green. Those fancy colors you're naming, which I don't doubt you've made up entirely, are not on the color wheel.
Crayola gives its hues silly names, but that doesn't put them among the only twelve colors that feature on the color wheel. And the fact that you don't understand the difference only goes to show that your mind is below the level of a middle schooler.
Yes, it is deeply unclear where you fall on a spectrum that, as we can see from the comic, clearly exists.
I don't have to kowtow to you just to convince you that I'm unquestioningly obedient to your flavor of ideology. You're literally no better than a fucking fascist with that mentality, which was my point from the start. Look in a fucking mirror for once.
You're so far beyond green that you made your way around the wheel and came out in the orange, but you still call yourself green and accuse anyone who doesn't agree with you of being orange.
The comic is criticizing someone who says "I'm part green and part orange" because green and orange don't mix. They're too far apart on the spectrum and would just make brown. Which is only further evidence that "yellow-green," an actual color on the wheel, isn't orange.
If you're insinuating that a spectrum doesn't exist, what are you really trying to say? That everything is monochrome? There's only two colors? "If you're not precisely my shade of green, then you might as well be orange." That's the same mentality the fascists have, you just flipped it around. You're a fucking hypocrite and have no commitment to the principle of greenism.
Good god the point smacked you in the face and you still can't see it.
You're the one who's blind. Or maybe just a troll.
And you're clearly the second panel because of your complete inability to understand basic concepts
...The irony of this reply is fucking painful.
