    You’ve chosen a definition thats dependent on where you percieve ‘center’ to be. Its a variable point therefore to you that word doesn’t have a fixed meaning. A European centerist is an American left leaner, a decade ago the american ‘left’ was talking about UBI and medicade for all, now they’re talking about fixing bridges that are about to fall down. You’re either blind to the overton window shifting or happy that things like infrastructure upkeep is now considered ‘leftism’ but despite your best efforts, words still have meaning. You’re one of the people trying to obfuscate those meanings.






  • I mean, it’s not like there aren’t large communities of Asian immigrants all over the world. In most countries, and definitely the English speaking ones, I almost guarantee your country celebrates it somewhere. Beyond all the other problems with this, it erases the experiences of Asian immigrants, I live in the US and I know for a fact there’s going to be tons of celebrations here for it organized by people whose cultures it is.

    Gee look at that, when it’s someone detestable, no one even cares. I was looking for one I saw about a week ago where someone called them out for bodyshaming and got downvoted for it. Ill keep going, im sure theres more. On this site Bodyshaming gets you upvoted though. Gee if only someone tried to bring this up, im sure they’d be met with open dialogue and not baseless accusations and being talked over. Stay posted, I’ll get more.

    Glad this comment finally got out if the negatives but they’re drowned out in number and number of votes by people insisting that insulting his disability is okay. Lemmy has a real problem with this, and assuming all of them also support misgegendering is short sighted, untrue, and unhelpful. Im sure user ‘progressiveist’ is a big time misgenderer though because that makes sense.

    Again, I see bodyshaming happening here, thats not an imagined enemy unless you dont know what words mean. You’re talking over me now and ignoreing what im saying, this being the third time I’m telling you it happens here so you can pretend im talking about no one. Stop with the intelectual dishonesty.

    What I am doing is poiting out a similar punishment people do for bodyshaming, and for the fourth time, it happens on this very website. That makes it relevant no matter how mad you are about that. You wont even ask me about the original post after I told you to instead of assuming because then you won’t be able to pretend im attacking anyone other that the hypocrites, who again exist on this site. Did I say it enough this time?

    Where did I avoid agreeing with the post? If you’re curious about something ask me instead of assuming based on nothing. Bodyshaming is wrong and it happens here, that’s not non-existent. Thats the message, do you take offense to that because you seem real preseed to make accusations.
