What a crazy analogy... What it sounds like you're saying is join the left or right before things get violent (the barbwire). We need to stop all this grouping and separating people. We're all American! That is the identity we need as a group, not left, right, centrist etc etc.
Says the account with endless far-right commentary while claiming to be "centrist".
I dont mean to promote any right, much less "far-right" anything. I have opinions, though. I have opinions that agree with things left of center as well as right. I hate that while arguing my opinions, I get grouped as "left" or "right", but that's what naturally happens. So many opinions about anything these days are considered "political" opinions.
On lemmy and most other social media, it's 90% left. (If you don't realize this, you aren't even ready for an objective argument). Im also on Truth social, that's 95% right folks. On there, I also argue things I disagree with. Anyway, it's mostly ignorant, left sided folks here. I can't change anyone's mind about anything, all I can do is plant seeds and hope that people look beyond the box they have put themselves in.
Okay, I'll bite, you wanna share some of those left of center opinions? Because as some other commenter pointed out, you comment history makes you look like far right.
