This artstyle looks like "what if Control Alt Delete was drawn by someone who had fashion sense and also talent".

I like it.

Same, It's sad that art actually peaked in the 2000's, everything has to be "On Model" and "Simplified" now.

Is the “just because we disagree on politics we can still get along” frame of mind generally a conservative thing? Because on one hand, it makes sense. On the other hand, I find it very difficult, for example, to look past the fact that some conservatives want to stop aid to Ukraine (as a Ukrainian living in the US).

human and civil rights aren’t “politics”

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

If politics includes the realm of persuading enough people and institutions to adopt or forget laws and standards, however moral of immoral they are, then rights of any kind are political.

Rights aren't given in society for nothing. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights were created following WWII in which we saw the greatest political conflicts in the modern, technological age. Civil rights, at least in the US, have taken many acts as well as background political pressure to get to where we are today, and this institutionalizing of equal rights among American citizens only started after the US Civil War, the only civil war that country had ever experienced at that point.

Just wanted to say thank you. I never explicitly thought of it this way. Just that human and civil rights are important. I'm going to start framing it this way because it's the truth.

More often than not, MAGA tend to stab themselves in the back. They just don't have the self-awareness for it.

was thinking of saying the knife should be in the back but the artist is right. this is pretty in the front.

Had kind of a similar conversation with my dad recently. "I'm sorry you feel that way." "Well they're cutting Medicaid, so we'll see how that goes for you."

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (4 children)

‘I’m sorry you feel that way.’ He’s sorry you think people should have equal rights?

Your dad doesn’t have a political problem, he has a morality problem.

Tolerance paradoxically demands intolerance of the intolerant.

[–] MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 143 points 1 day ago (5 children)

It was pointed out to me a while back that the paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you consider tolerance to be a philosophical position.

In fact, we don't treat it like that. We treat it as a social contract, in which context it is no paradox at all to say that if you aren't tolerant then other people aren't obliged to tolerate you in turn

My trumpet sister has wisely stopped praising her false god in my presence when they visit at least
