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.

[–] suite403@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also, the one with the red hat is probably fine with the billionaires.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Certainly, he's just one good idea away from being one himself!

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

There's also a good chance that one or both is a troll online.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Much of the public also voted for trump. I'm not so sure we should be thinking very highly of much of the public's eye.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

The American public voted for Trump, but the whole trans rights argument is a more of a world issue.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] SuluBeddu@feddit.it 14 points 2 months ago

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

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

They also got you posting the truth on a shitpost sub

[–] Silk@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

OPs political views and opinions are apparently shotposting worth

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Its not the same. Those dumb MAGA animals are actively on the side of the rich. Don't compare us to those fucking people.

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah? How mad do you get over pronouns?

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Honestly, I feel like getting rid of gendered pronouns is kind of woke. But unlike conservatives I understand what a pronoun is.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It works because you can't squeeze water out of a rock. These meme implies that we can, as if we can recruit them onto our side.

[–] seeigel@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The meme also implies that getting along still keeps you locked in. Yet how else could we achieve a better society.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know. I had always thought the internet would bring us together and shit like this would be a thing of the past. They best I got right now is to make voting mandatory

[–] seeigel@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

The internet has created the opportunity to come together but the internet doesn't do the talking.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Well when the red hats are fighting for the oligarchs it's not quite the same is it

[–] chrischryse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

They both want to distract us, cuz if we actually work together we’d overthrow thfm
