    The left and the right, the only two kinds of people in the world. Two homogeneous groups, two hive minds

    God I hate those labels

      Nope. It is the far right gaining immense amount of power while both moderate right, left and “extreme left” are yelling at the terrorists (far right) wanting to crash the airplanes in the towers.

      Be aware that if you lean in the far right, you risk going down with the terrorists while the “osama bin laden” of this story (and to be clear, I mean Elon) will be hidden behind the safety of his bunker.

      Or if you like anime analogy (and spoilers of boku no hero academy): spoiler

      It is like trying to get favors from all for one in the hopes that he won’t fuck over your country (and the anime is explicit in saying that it isn a matter of if. Only when.)

        “the left” and “the right” are very US-centric IMO. Here in Sweden I’m somewhere in the center, leaning slightly to the right. In the US I’m guessing that’d be left of the far left.

          Colour me surprised, a “no labels” guy who calls himself centrist-right. Fucking laughable.

        Depends on the day… Some of us don’t subscribe to a single political ideology because we haven’t found one that we’ve found to be solid enough that we’re willing to rally around it. Maybe that’s because that ideology does not/cannot exist. I don’t know…

        I’m just speaking for myself, I guess.
