Me?
I'm a greenist-orangite,

Green: “We think everyone should exist peacefully together.”

Orange: “We believe you should all be shot!”

This shithead: “Why don’t you two find a way to meet in the middle?”

Oranges could all get shot and Greens live peacefully together, instead of the extremist proposition by Greens for them both to peacefully exist together.

Person A: "2+2=4"
Person B: "2+2=6"
'Centrist': "Fellas, calm down! Can't we compromise and agree 2+2=5?"

EU politics: "We promise to establish robust processes for developing a common agreement on the result of 2+2 and will reconvene to assess progress, in 2+2 years."

This person is literally saying there's no difference between 5 and 6. They're basically an orangite in practice, because math.

The Greenist isn't green enough. I'm not voting to send a message they need to earn my vote.

“This orange looks more green than the other orange, I’m going to vote for it and call myself a greenist.”

“Oh why is everything still orange? I voted for the green shade of orange!”

Only there's no greenish party, there's only orange and 99% orange 1% green, and the orange-greenist is a 99 year old person running 99% orange policy to appeal to moderate oranges

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 19 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Thanks for correctly understanding the plight of orangites.

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm a centrist, a down-to-earth person, I believe that the truth is always somewhere in the middle! 🤡

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, in the middle. Only some people should be shot.

this is any coorporation ever

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 month ago

And that kids is what “socially liberal, fiscally conservative” means.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Exactly why libertarians deserve less respect than the fascists they enable.

Interesting because factions in Belfast use those exact colors.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 5 points 1 month ago

I was going to say, this is why the Irish flag looks the way it does

Uh... no? This comic has absolutely nothing to do with the paradox of tolerance.

Man it's sometimes awkward being an orange, those fucking orangites give us all a bad name, but now a lot of greenists think I'm one of them. It sucks because I'm a greenist but seeing a lot of hate towards orange people because of those orangists hurts a lot.

I know that there's a lot of history of orange people oppressing green people but I feel that greenists hating orange people is hypocritical and antithetical to the belief system, but any time anyone says it's not cool everyone jumps in going "just like an orange, saying 'that's not like me!'". That stuff is even being used by orangites as a recruitment tool for young oranges, saying "see? They hate you!". We greenists need to stop it but it's so cathartic to some green people who have felt so oppressed by the orangites that they refuse to.

Greenists have the right idea, and I'm not going to stop being one, but seeing the same hate from my own side makes it hard.

"I'm an orange but want I green pussy"

[–] PiraHxCx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Oh, because of the flag I thought this was a satire of anarcho-communism, since commie states massacred anarchists

Oranges are unlikely to know the correct term.

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My dad is orange and my mother is green.

[–] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, my father is orange and my mom is green. That means I get my solar panels from a forced labour camp.
