I know what you mean though. Some of the worthless dumbfucks who pass themselves off as being far left are just identity politics dipshits who think feminist media criticism is activism.
In that sense, if someone were looking between far left (“Xeno pronouns are valid!”) and far right (“Build that wall!”) then it wouldn’t be ridiculous to say fuck both sides. That’s kind of the dilemma we’re in now.
Just FYI, not everyone sees “having everyone basic needs met” as bullshit.
Its not the premise of having everyones basic need met theyre calling bulshit on, its the politicians’ claim that that is an objective they will actually try to enact.
Vivian kinda dumb…
Needs text alternative.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can’t
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can’t read this due to lack of alt text
- users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can’t explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
- searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
Is this referring to authoritarians on the left & right?
… what.
Edit: Wait, why are you spamming the same broken markdown? Is it seriously just because you think you’re trolling people by pretending to be AI? That’s… really dumb.
Horseshoe theory: far left & right look similar if far means authoritarian. Is OOP referring to that or a different kind of far?
The heck does that have to do with web connectivity?
… what.
is ambiguous & no one’s a mindreader. Switch to a client that isn’t trash.
and weep
My choice of client not fixing your off-spec markdown has nothing to do with… whatever the heck is going on there. Could you try maybe rewriting your copypasta to be slightly more intelligible?
Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
Maybe try something a little bit less “All your text is belong to us”? Because this just doesn’t make sense. I genuinely do not understand what you are trying to say.
Nor does it address why you’re spamming posts with it.
Accessibility, and no, your client is broken: it renders fine in the standard web browser indicating your client violates spec. 🤷
You can just go look up the spec, what you’re posting doesn’t adhere to that. That the web pages correct for it isn’t the issue here, that’s just someone correcting for user behavior with the parser, it’s fairly common to do that. I don’t actually care that much about it though, because mainly I’m trying to figure out how to batter and deep fry your word salad into something to do with “accessibility” and the irony is just painful.
Are you trying to say that… this should’ve been OCR’d automatically then linked to? That seems like serious overhead when we have such an awesome community of transcribers ( ❤️ u guys)
- usability
They’re just people who are too weak and dumb to have real opinions and they just want to be in the in crowd
It must take such bravery to not be in the center, sir. How can I become this brave.

A Tweet by “Vivian” @suchnerve:
far left: we’re gonna get everyone’s basic needs met
far right: we’re gonna exterminate entire social groups because they’re impure
centrists: i literally cannot tell you two apart
Hate to burst your bubble but far left sound and act like violent facists and helped pave the way for the far right. They do sound the same. It’s the moderates that actually want everybody’s needs met.
What are we considering far left in this scenario? I’m asking genuinely, because I think we can all acknowledge there are a handful of loonies on the far left, but I think you’re talking about me because I sometimes like to joke about being a dictator and executing right wingers.
There is also a group of people who cannot take a joke but I mean the people who would scream/yell, shame you, criticize you or call you a Nazi just for having an opinion you don’t agree with or so much as catching a whiff that you can’t yet empathize with their problems. Threats and acts of violence.
You know it’s the youth that’s tipping the voter’s scales by in large because they’re not able to rationalize other people’s emotional damage including those of wing influencers and left wing doomers and blow hards.
You agree? Do the work, or your the problem. Disagree? You’re a Nazi. Wanna just live your life? Complicit Nazi.
There’s a thing in criminology called labelling theory. It transcends the idea of criminality. Combine this with a strong thrust of financial hardship and you start sinking ships
People are so forcefed bullshit from their echo chamber watering holes that they really do believe it’s just a right vs left war meanwhile billionaires are sipping their gold infused dom perignon on their yachts a few yards out to sea watching it all burn down.
These bullshit Twitter takes are getting old. This is a more realistic interpretation.
Far left: We’re going to exterminate entire groups for the sake of “equality”
Far right: We’re going to exterminate entire groups for the sake of “purity”
End result = A bunch of people get murdered
Centrists: These both look pretty bad, we just want people’s needs to be met
End result = pragmatic governance
If you’re someone who hates centrists because they’re not as extreme as you then YOU are a part of the problem.
TBH, I’m not seeing where the American far Left is advocating exterminating entire groups of people.
The far left always claims to be the ideology of peace, but somehow far left regimes around the globe guided by far left ideologies hold THE highest death tolls in human history.
Libertarians: ME!!!
Your “far-left” is the centric, your “centric” are fascist accepting far-right, and your “far-right” is right extreme fascists…
Stalin was just trying to make sure everyone had enough. Everyone left alive at least.
The Far Left also commit hard to 2
It’s because we lefties say completely justified mean things about so-called ‘centrists’.
The centrists made up the term so they wouldn’t have to face the fact that they’re conservatives.
That’s right, the centrists are conservatives and the so-called “conservatives” are really regressives at best, plenty of them fascists.
We don’t just call everyone we don’t like fascists. But uh, them folks are fascists.
Many of the greatest political advancements in the history of humanity were achieved by people you’d call “centrists”.
Such as?
The post-WW2 transition to liberal democracy in Germany, Italy (Adenauer and De Gasperi), and in general European integration; ending apartheid in South Africa; 1991 economic reforms in India; Deng Xiaoping’s socialist market economy in China which lifted millions from destitution; Chile’s transition to democracy; the labor-capital compromise in Scandinavia which allows them to have very free markets and very strong welfare systems at the same time.
I could go on.
HA! Sure, buddy, sure, we’ll let you call that centrism. Do you need help finding your way back to the children’s table?
Point out which of these don’t have elements of “centrism” plz
Point out where they do.
At the time of those political advancements, it was progressive ideology. Otherwise they wouldn’t have been advancements, it would have been conserving the norm, dumbass.
None of those advances were made with a minority of support in society. Is the argument that the populace has since become more conservative?
I think what’s more likely is that people you’d consider “centrist” backed those changes. You’re dead set on characterizing this “centrist” entity that you have only vaguely defined to create an enemy that doesn’t exist.
I’m not sure what enemy I’ve created by pointing out progressive policies as… progressive. Even if it’s not as progressive as perhaps some would like at that time. It’s not so much of an “argument” when stating facts.
Perhaps clarify what point you’re attempting to make.
Don’t be dishonest, you did more than that. The enemy you’re creating is the “evil centrist”. Your own example does not support that simplistic view.
Achievements like Civil Rights didn’t come about because just a small part of the “left” pushed for it. It came about because the majority of the left stood for it. So no, you don’t get to take all the credit and YES, you’re splitting the party for no discernable reason.
Not really, I provided some examples to some other user where they were clearly “centrists”. There were people who leaned more on both sides and the advancement was achieved by someone who was more moderate.
Of course it was, because people resist change. The left has to settle for small wins everyday. You are only arguing with yourself the more you explain your point here.
The “left” wanted very different things in most of these cases. For instance, in post-war Italy, it wanted a revolution and to join the Warsaw pact.
Plz explain to me how the examples I brought up aren’t “centrist” examples but examples of left victories.
Centrist wins’ don’t exist. There’s only progress or stagnation—and ‘centrism’ is just conservatism with better PR. The left’s job isn’t to ‘win’ elections—it’s to make sure the baseline keeps moving left, even if it’s inch by inch. In Italy, the PCI didn’t get revolution, but its demands forced the right to adopt welfare, labor rights, and anti-fascism just to stay in power. That’s not centrism. That’s the left setting the terms of the fight.
The right doesn’t ‘win’ by preserving the status quo—they just delay the inevitable. Every policy shift, no matter how small, is a left victory because it proves the goalposts can move. The alternative? Stagnation. And stagnation isn’t a win for anyone—it’s surrender.
Everyone but me are stupid
far left: we’re gonna exterminate entire social groups because they’re impure
far right we’re gonna exterminate entire social groups because they’re impure
centrists: i literally cannot tell you two apart
What are you even saying? I you trying to reference the elite left? Because they aren’t actually left, they’re grifters.
you fixed it
The Far Right: Purity testing for race and religion.
The Far Left: Purity testing for communist ideals and moral superiority.
Both are shills pushing russian propaganda.
The Neoliberals are the ones literally on Russian paychecks.
Neoliberalism is not a left wing ideology.
It’s always convenient and reassuring to know one’s own ideas, alone, are untainted by scary foreigners.
