I realized what makes Mastodon, and Bluesky, and Post, and Notes seem so odd. It’s the complete absence of the “if you won’t pretend this shit sandwich is sirloin it shows how biased you are/how much Trump broke you/what an echo chamber you’re in.”
@Popehat the other day someone was complaining about a podcast I listen to saying that he doesn’t want only people he agrees with and wants more people from the right. Giving air time to nazis, homophobes and xenophobes isn’t centrism it’s false equivalence. I understand wanting a deeper understanding of issues with people who understand what makes the nazis tick but inviting Nazis? Hello no.
@imbou There are people who think that anyone on the right is a Nazi, homophobe, xenophobe. You don’t have to listen to those people. You can find rational people who disagree with you without diving into the sewer.
@Popehat the rational conservatives are now the RINo’s they aren’t the ones driving the agenda. Those people have been marginalized. I am not doing the exaggeration of calling say a Mitt Romney or a John McCain that. I am talking the guys whose leader is Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson.
@dagnymol@Popehat just a conservative? Is that still a thing? There are so few that aren’t beholden to the anti work, anti science anti everything now.
