I'm always under the assumption that everyone can be an asshole. I had a very good friend qnd we're both vegans. To me it's just a dietary choice that i made, for her it was almost like a religion. Like when she met someone who was also a vegan or saw someone on tv that was a vegan, she always assumed that it's a good person, or just rooted for that person, no questions asked.

So it's accurate but they're both wrong because

1. He is the left.

2. He shouldn't even be trying to converse with literal USSR advocates and literal anarchists as if they were part of his base.

I was recently banned for being "transphobic" for telling people what far right people believe about trans people, in the third person because I'm not far right nor have I ever been.

I've been pro-trans rights (AKA human rights) since I knew what the word "transgender" meant, which is going on twenty years or so now?

Futurama is just a slightly different Simpsons!

We are enemies now

I was going to comment that OPs meme sums up db0 really well, but this one does that even better.

tale as old as time

I didn't see this film until the 2010s, and I couldn't believe how accurately it lampooned my local scene.

centrists say everything is all progressives fault. But also that progressives will never be allowed to have any place of authority in the party. They'd sooner court republicans. So they will lose the youth vote for good and go extinct, assuming the country survives their idiocy at all.

Liberals, as in advocates for liberalism and not a liberal party (which doesn't even exist in the USA), are the entire left of the USA.

Anybody else remember Kappa Mikey?

Heh, don't let that fool you, they still infight like crazy despite that. Examples include the hilarious collapse of the NJP, the assassination of Rockwell (leader of the American Nazi Party) and labeling every existing neo-Nazi group "feds" because they're inevitably embarrassing and scandal-filled.

The right has their fair share of infighting. They may all want heirarchy, but they disagree on who should be on top. They can all agree on scapegoating an outgroup, but disagree on which people fall into that outgroup. Like, the ultimate endgame of fascism is for the last fascist to kill the second to last fascist for not being white enough.

They appear to be united because most of us don't go into their spaces and lurk, because, I mean, ew. If a Trump supporter came to Lemmy, they'd find people quite united against them, and if one of us went on Truth Social, we'd find them quite united against us, but that doesn't mean they actually get along internally.

Honestly I'm fairly certain they infight even harder than the left does. They just wouldn't self-critically admit to it like we would. Cause they don't self-crit.

That's mostly due to the rights belief in hierarchy. It doesn't matter if the person above you has different views than you if you believe their right simply because they're higher up the pecking order.

It's a different version of the tolerance paradox

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. (Source Wikipedia)

Not necessarily. Some leftists demand conformity in beliefs. "If you don't believe XYZ, you're a shill/neoliberal/fascist etc."

I feel like favoring free thought and opposing conformity leads to arguments, but demanding conformity leads to enemies (like this meme).
