We're the good guys, they're the bad guys. Isn't it?

Whenever someone posts this sort of vague "people aren't tolerating my ideas" post, nine-times-outta-ten, the ideas in question are just awful.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

No, my idea is great, everyone else is wrong!

There's nothing wrong with wanting to build a giant slide from the peak of Mount Joffre, OK‽

Sometimes the bad guys have skulls on their caps and it's really just that black and white simple.

Sometimes, but not usually

Using imfglip and linking to it instead of hosting the image somewhere (Lemmy? Imgbb?) definitely makes you one of the baddies.

Also there's several variations of this meme that you could have used that don't use a violent abusers image. Like a similar one with Geordi LaForge from Star Trek.

drake is a violent abuser?

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I think they've mixed up Drake, the rapper, and Drake Bell, the actor. Though the two look nothing alike, so maybe I've missed some news report.

What's wrong with linking to imgflip ?

[–] rbhfd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

For me (using Jerboa), it automatically opens in an external browser instead of just opening the image in app.

Other apps might not have this issue though. Not sure why OP made the remark.

How dare the public not want to hear about us stripping the rights of gays, and trans people? ECHO CHAMBER! I JUST WANT CIVIL DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOTHING BUT THUGS AND RAPISTS AND THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO AFRICA.

How about no dude? Go back to Truth Social and rant there. Nobody wants to hear about your eugenics, how a female comic artist hurts your browsing experience and you're too contrarian not to spew misogynist rhetoric.

Progressives and most real moderates know better now. It's all bad-faith arguments and dog whistles. The paradox of tolerance is real and people need to stop platforming insanity.

Meanwhile you've got a c/Politics mod defending the Daily Wire as a "valid alternate viewpoint." Truly we've reached post-irony

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

I just want people to stop thinking their political views are meme-worthy. I came here to be entertained, not lectured.

While there's definitely some of that going on, the people I usually see complaining about this kind of thing are not interested in the fair exchange of ideas. Rather, they're upset that one of their dumb opinions got made fun of in a public forum.

[–] Sauvandu59@lemmy.my.id 14 points 2 years ago

This isn't limited to lemmy users.

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (6 children)

yeah, im this 🤏 close to unsubscribing from any news related communities. the comments are mostly repetitive circle-jerks and antagonistic in-fighting. it's really affecting my time on here.

Oh dear, someone's mad that others rejected their fascism again

I'm the main character, how could I ever be on the bad side?

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You're not, boss. You're my childhood friend that saved me from a gang of rabid wombats and I would follow you forever using my unique skills to defeat your enemies in turn based combat.

it's simple, the guys I like are the good ones, and the ones I don't are bad.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

My favourite part of Lemmy is seeing enlightened centrists posting to Lemmy.ml thinking it’ll be sympathetic to any other ideology than socialism/communism.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The top part of the meme is actually a reason I like instances that don't defederate from other instances. It allows me to see what those I disagree with and/or just don't like might be saying/thinking at a certain period.

I used to feel that way but man, after the 20th time in a row that someone either calling for nuance or unity with questionable individuals ended up being some sort of malefactor with an evil agenda has me completely burnt on thinking that way. You just have to accept that some people are irredeemable and not worth dealing with, and replace them with those who are actually out there for your best interests.

[–] WhyIDie@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

you either agree with me, or you're in the other tribe
