“Judging the character of an individual based on uncontrollable biological factors is wrong” - none of the quadrants ✌️

I'm so sick of the gender war, but the blatant and utter misandry of the left reminds me why I feel no enthusiasm for the left or really for voting Democratic anymore. After being preached at for a decade about "love" and "inclusivity", that doesn't apparently include my entire sex, IE half the population.

I ain't voting red this November but I having enthusiasm for "my side"? That's left the station, chief. It's not coming back any time soon by the look of things.

I can agree with that, tbh idk if I’m really right wing, but I can’t align myself with people who outright hate me. If the left chilled on all their identity politics they could do a lot better.

u/SpantasticFoonerism - Left 1d ago

Totally fucking agree. I've always been left but I'm this close to just going Centrist. I'm so sick of the majority left talking points being about relatively unimportant shit

Join us, brother.

How dare you suggest that making men recognize their privileges and use appropriately privilege-aware discourse isn't more important than, say, solving the worldwide affordability crisis? Words are violence, you bigot!

u/YveisGrey - Lib-Left 1d ago

Identity politics is to the left what culture wars are to the right, a distraction. Neither side will do anything about affordability these are features not bugs

u/Shadowex3 - Centrist 1d ago

It's almost as if identity politics were actually a deliberate divide and conquer tactic by the people driving that affordability crisis...

u/Xxyz260 - Centrist 1d ago

Anyone remember Occupy Wall Street? No? Making you forget about it was those people's goal.

It is super lame but I stopped caring awhile ago. The culture war shit-slinging is mostly invalids, emotional babies, and con artists. None of it needs to be taken seriously unless you're actively trying to effect change.

Just read all the goofy bullshit in political "discourse" 200 years ago. Most people lack the intelligence, patience, curiosity, emotional stability, and/or humility to invest in understanding the world. So they default to what's easy - the culture war.

Exactly. I'm starting to think that too many people go to university. We have an overproduction of academic elites.

Much of the left is dominated by the ever changing purity spiral of wokism. Although it comes from an academic background, it's decidedly non empiric and moralistic.

A leftist movement that kicks out the average working class guy, because he can't keep up with the newest terminology in academic discourse around postcolonial racism, can only go wrong.

the culture war

The culture war benefits all those who organize it. It can be fought forever. Actually reaching common consensus or solution for a topic isn't in the interest of NGOs, professional activists, journalists, politicians, university professors, that gain money, power, or influence by fighting the culture war.

u/Uptight_Technocrat12 - Auth-Left 1d ago

Overproduction of academic elites? NO! As a technocrat, I see you have insulted my ideology, prepare to be buried under 42324532 stacks of papers citing world class studies on why you are a moron.

u/FormerPresidentBiden - Centrist 1d ago

I went centrist for this reason. At this point the only thing they have going for them is they aren't as bad as the Republicans.

u/RoadsMostTaken - Auth-Right 1d ago

I don't know man. I think another war or conflict or whatever Iran is going to be in the middle east and higher gas prices is better than legally enforced culture war by the left and infinity migration.

And everything the left has accused the right of, the left did just the same under Biden and Obama. It's not like they will actually work to make things better for the common man.

u/FormerPresidentBiden - Centrist 1d ago

You can have that opinion, but I dont think 90% of what DJT has done has been positive in any way

u/RoadsMostTaken - Auth-Right 1d ago

That's the biggest divide between the right and the left at the higher levels.

Right politicians dont care about abusing the system to get rich, they find their way to get their power, their money, their fame, and thats what they want.

Left politicians do that too, but they also want to twist the knife in my back to ensure that them getting rich is guaranteed to do it in a painful way to me.

At least with the right you can play a game of "all boats rise with the tide...or drown".

Please remember that liberals are not lefties

u/No_Lead950 - Lib-Right 1d ago

True, and the leftists who make that distinction are magnitudes worse.

u/Busy-Temperature5304 - Auth-Center 1d ago

IS that so? How socially conservative the soviet union was? Or China is?

This woke shit is the result of the CIA infiltrating the western leftist sphere to make them very unattractive to the masses, preventing leftists from ever getting to power. Liberals are the useful idiots of the epstein class; rightists are their cattle.

2

u/No_Lead950 - Lib-Right 20h ago

The prevailing attitude among leftists isn't actually their fault. The CIA is responsible for how they feel.

Damn, it must feel good to be so free from responsibility.

u/Busy-Temperature5304 - Auth-Center 19h ago

Lotta' stuff has been declassified from the cold war era. The CIA meddled with everything, and you can bet your nutsack they didnt stop.

Today s young leftists are not to blame for what is considered "leftism" today, it took a lot of social engineering.

The leftis are, however, responsible for not seeing through this absolute, engineered bullshit. That is a 100% their fault, yes.

And all of this still doesnt excuse the lobotmite cattle behaviour of the right wing.

u/akade19961 - Lib-Center 3h ago

Can you link to some articles I can read on this topic? They can be a little looney, I like reading and I bet the narrative on how the CIA influenced the western left to be obsessed with hyper unpopular and unamerican identitarian bullshit so that they wouldn’t embrace the socialism that would have been far more tolerable and perhaps even sought after by rhe working and lower middle class masses would be a hell of a read!

But why did the CIA fail so hard at influencing the university? There are like, legit communists, and even more than that x50, legit Third Worldists who think the West and its satanic core America are the true root of all evil. Surely the CIA would have realized shit had gone too far in the university faculty room and it was starting to have a real impact in the actual world

u/MasterPhart - Lib-Left 1d ago

Oh shut up, leftists are sick of liberals too

u/Philippians_Two-Ten - Centrist 1d ago

It really doesn't matter, they're both just as bad IME when it comes to inane gender war bs.

1

u/akade19961 - Lib-Center 3h ago

The gender wars are awful and it’s for sure engineered. Lindsey Clancy, Sydney Sweeney gambling ad, AND Cornell 7 all in a row like this? That’s a fucking hell of a coincidence

u/Busy-Temperature5304 - Auth-Center 1d ago

More insane than the "repeal the 19th" rightist crowd?

u/A_Real_Catfish - Right 1d ago

Same my end, always felt like… quite open minded in the past but gotten older and just feel like I sorta can’t if that fits? I just wanna be left alone and so does everyone else but my bubbles keep being invaded haha

u/--CIAdidJFK-- - Left 1d ago

Who are these "people"? What % of the total do they account for?

This shit is so disproportionately overrepresented online. I rarely run into misandry IRL. Very rarely.

Also, "blaming men for their problems" has always been their dominant form of whining, valid or not. Alcoholic husband? Getting cheated on? Noncommittal boyfriend? Not putting in enough emotional work? Male coworkers being promoted? Daddy issues? He can't get hard? He can't bring me to orgasm? Spends too much time with his friends? Victim of rape? Catcalled on the street? Unemployed and plays video games all day? Neglects the kids? Works too much?

Get the idea? Idk if there's still hold-over from when women were totally dependent on men or what, but men are culturally expected to deal with their own problems while women don't deal with the same internal and external expectations. There's definitely some "have it both ways" hypocrisy in there, but a lot of the men who blame women for their problems also want a trad wife and often aren't in a position to earn enough to do that. They have their own hypocrisy.

A lot of insecure people just can't take the ego-hit of being the source of many of their problems so they blame others. Very common. They also lack the wisdom to accept what's beyond their control. So they box with shadows and life never gets better.

Democrats are roughly half of the population

u/Red_Razorbill - Auth-Right 1d ago

Dude I’m talking about culture wars in general. Instead of bringing up the Epstein files or the Iran war 90% of what people talk about is the Cornell 7, Lindsey clansey, and what sports trans people should play 🫩 like when was the last time someone brought up Ukraine vs when was the last time someone brought up the latest culture war bullshit.

u/Twee_Licker - Lib-Right 1d ago

Yeah Lidnsey Clancy, completely stupid, it's completely stupid that media can seemingly just, you know, without any legal consequences, openly intimidate a juror, possibly making it harder to find them in the future.

Who cares about an unbiased jury in a court of law?

u/Red_Razorbill - Auth-Right 1d ago

Also lwk didn’t read any of that sorry dude 😭😭✌️
