Once upon a time, this “political extremism“ used to just simply be called “being a decent human being“. How far we’ve fallen.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Well keep in mind some of these freedoms the far right has been whining about for a couple decades is literally someone suggesting they not be an intolerant racist homo/transphobe, and that some people should feel comfortable with saying "Happy Holidays" because not everyone celebrates Xmas.

Oh noes!

Every item on the list, I have.

I must be one of those dangerous violent extremists the TV warns us about! :O

The woke mind virus claims another victim. Truly tragic to see so much empathy.

The thought of other people living a good life. I just... I can't. It's just too horrible.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

accepting of all religions

I'm not if said religion involves "removal of rights to others" and "dismantling democracy". And no, I don't care if they're "not real christians".

You forgot "unconditionally supports russian imperialism and repeats its propaganda incessently" .. wait, this isn't lemmy.ml 🫠

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (5 children)

That prompts an interesting question: Is there a symbol for international communism that's recognizable to the general public?

[–] jbloggs777@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't think there is a single one, but there are definitely styles that make you think it. Red themes, tools and machinery, fists in the air, etc.

This one of my favorites for Fully Automated Luxury Gay/Queer Space Communism. I doubt how widely it's known, though.

The hammer and sickle, no? The British communist party uses it to this day, at least

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The initialism there is more unfortunate than the symbol.

Yes, I raised my son to be a far left extremist. He’s nearly 30 and strong enough to cause havoc against a fascist regime.

I am not sorry.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago

All of mine are grown and doing good things too.

Well…the people the right call leftist extremists are generally not leftists are have a tenuous leftist label.

Like…(modern) anarchists are generally apolitical or nihilists…and don’t come from the left at the rates they think they do. The Charlie Kirk shooter is a decent example of what somebody will say is this monolith of leftist extremism that exist in large numbers and is a cohesive group.

Short story long: those who use the label “leftist extremist” (without irony) are basically making a boogy man out of random crazies who they don’t have to ignore because they’re not clearly right wingers.

This isn’t the 70s…they don’t have The Weather Underground and The Black Panthers to scapegoat…so they just make shit up.

anarchists are nearly absolutely leftist. i dont know what youre on about.

[–] bufalo1973@piefed.social 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (6 children)

Unless he is referring to anarcocapitalists.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

fair :) but they werent.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 months ago

anarcocapitalists

An odd form of anarchy that still requires the state to enforce property rights.

the horror!

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

There is no more satire.

The symbol has nothing to do with what's on the list.

It's a symbol of hate, suffering and oppression.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Here, fixed it. No sarcasm.

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Thanks! I just had a problem with the sign. The idea of the post is fun and I see the humour in it.

I just think the sign is put there in bad faith, as .ml are known for revisionism.

Disagree. Also pointing out it came from lemmy.ml - it's getting tiring.

It's also very appropriate for the meme given it speaks to the red scare propaganda peddled in the US.
