          The boomers also own the farms that over-planted Avocado to profit off of the ‘Avocado Toast’ craze and now the market, within the next few years as most trees mature, will become over-saturated with fruit driving the price down. They won’t be worth picking.

          I have a feeling we will see Avocados going through woodchippers to keep the price high.

          Damn millennials, they ruined avocado toast.

      The only thing I’m proud of when looking at gen Z is that they are completely unwilling to go to war for the military complex and giving their life fighting a battle where they have nothing to gain but everything to lose. That’s way smarter than my generation or the baby boomers ever were.

        are completely unwilling to go to war for the military complex

        Are they though?

        "Post-millennials (also known as Generation Z or Gen Z), born from 1996 to the present, now constitute nearly 90% of the Army’s active duty junior enlisted and nearly 35% of all junior officers (Defense Manpower Data Center, 2018, p. 29). "

        Center left can exist because left/right is relative. They’re ignorant to the fact that politicians to the left of them often achieve those center left wing policies in practice, while they often achieve pure centrism. Radical left wing change is harder than radical right wing change, so we need to push as left as possible

      As long as they’re our alliest, gotta let Fascists be Fascist once in a while to release some steam.

      A few dead children and blown up hospitals is just collateral damage. There’s nothing we could do about it1

      1that wouldn’t upset our Fascist allies.

        They’re not even good allies. They’re busy shooting American citizens and selling US military technology to hostile powers. But I guess the end times needs Israel to begin so 50% of our politicians will mindlessly bootlick Israel and 40% of the rest are spineless cretins who think bipartisanship means ‘compromise, always’.

      I love the smell of minority&meek soap in the morning. Then I remember I’m a right wing catholic white man with privileges and I use them by shooting some jets of fire with my pocket flamethrower from the fully open window of my monster truck while on the way to the usual grill with the boys, as my god intended ;)

      Edit: Obviously satire

    Interesting how everyone seems to think this tweet from 2018 seems to refer to th situation in Gaza in 2023.

        Is it though? Is the narrative from the center and the right not overwhelmingly in favor of the ethnic cleansing occurring in Gaza?

          It’s nonsense because the far left’s position is cheering on Hamas, the complete destruction of the state of Israel, and chanting “from the river to the sea”.

          The centrist position is “ceasefire, just stay the fuck away from each other.”

          Your overton window is fucked if you think this is what actual centrists think.

    Are you 'murican? I don’t think the rest of the world agrees on any of the US’s “definitions” of left, right and liberal. From a European POV, the US democrats are really, really far to the right. Sanders might be leaning toward the center. The republicans are a strange mixture of libertarian regarding economical matters and very very right-wing/intrusive on personal matters. Whenever someone even mentions/comments other people’s sexual orientation and identity I automitcally assume they are creep that wants to sniff other people’s bedsheets. How can you be partly libertarian and also creepily nazi-intrusive? US-republican invention I can’t wrap my head around, that is.
