After we stop pretending that the morally superior view is one where everyone is equally awful.
Being sympathetic I get what the picture is trying to convey. Really ask yourself if different is worse or is it just different.
Being realistic it smells of in every conflict everyone involved is evil. And that simply is not always true. Giving a real world example is the invasion of the Ukraine. There is no both sides in this. One is a democracy the other is a dictatorship. One is defending their homeland and the other is invading. One of it loses is looking at genocide and the other if it loses has some egg on their face. They are not the same.
So far all you’ve figured out is that this meme must not be about Ukraine then! And yet you’re still talking about it. You only want to disagree. That’s why you’re posting. That’s why you’re responding to me. That’s why you’re here. You want to disagree with shit to feel intellectually superior, and the hilarious part is that you are disagreeing with something on the grounds that they just a make a ploy at intellectual superiority! And by the way, calling this “enlightened centrism” just for the purposes of disagreeing with it is actually making a strawman, not whatever that other comment was.
Miss.
Again it’s about any group demonizing another.
The process of generating the “subhuman” other based on misinformation.
It’s not about holding people to their honest record.
Playing the middle and saying “both sides” is completely different than what this image is displaying.
Miss.
Again it is about exactly what I said. “Our glorious leader” is not about other people it is both sideism.
It’s about playing both sideism.
What side are you on in Russia-Ukraine? No question dodging “enlightened centralist”.
If your whole view is just shit reposted on Lemmy about American politics sure.
You’re just exposing your field of vision.
Miss. Again.
What? I never said that.
Misquote = block cya
I said it. I asked you a question and you aren’t answering it.
Miss again.
Can you talk without using buzzwords and pop-quizzes on irrelevant shit?

Yeah yeah I suck get in line and take a number. At least I am not a Putin stooge.
Please point to literally anyone in this thread that is defending Putin or trying to say it’s about “both sides” in that war specifically.
Here, I can do it. I can do the magical thing that you want:
Putin bad. Russian invasion of Ukraine bad.
I’ll go even further:
Netanyahu bad. Palestinian genocide bad.
Also, and you’ll be shocked to hear that multiple things can be true at the same time:
Xenophobia bad.
Is that… what you wanted?
You.
Holy shit, you read the first sentence and just fired that off, didn’t you?
You have to keep reading.
