I'm not NPC, I don't understand what did you write 😄
I liked him before, but the timcast format makes him so much edgier and frustrated LMAO
I know he keeps saying he'll never vote republican but maybe that will change as the dems get even more crazy. <:TimThink:482277772497125378>
Last night he said he might vote
You know, I will always be a Centrist
You can vote for parties and still be centrist.
But in reality the left is going way too far to the left and the right is happy to go towards the center to pick up those votes
I think the issue is that even though the definitions of where the line is drawn changes, people like Tim make the mistake of thinking that his values are tied to the name left and right
When in reality I'm simply uncompromising to my values even if the political landscape changes around me, I would still say I'm a Centrist, even if at this point I'm like 80% Republican because of how much we have shifted to the left
My biggest worry at this point is the left losing another 2 or 4 years in a row
And then just radicalizing and trying to overthrow the government
If there was an actual independent party I would understand if Tim didn't want to vote for the wings but there isn't.
A second biggest fear is that by the time the next generation is a beige, the Red Wave will become so hyper dominant that the left won't even be competition anymore and it'll simply turn into who can be more right-wing
*next generation is of age
Now left/right is a vote of sanity vs insanity.
Yeah, and that's a terrible thing LMAO
The capitalist in me wants people to compete because we win
At the moment it's not really direct competition it's more or less just hysteria on both ends of the spectrum with a large chunk of Common Sense siding with the right at this point
~~ever since the 2016 election I’ve been more right-wing, so politically that just seems like something that’s fine with me, but the real reason for it being so bad for us is how much destruction Democrats and their voters will bring with them if they go down~~
I think a lot of the issues dems run on aren't actually issues. It's just that they create problems.
Well, the funny thing is, today I am practically considered conservative but in 2006 when I graduated high school and was able to vote I would very clearly be considered a liberal
It's literally things that if you ignore them they go away.
They like to create problems rather than solve them
What part of me just thought about it in a more abstract archetypical sense
If progress is against conservation
Everyone but me is an NPC.
Progress will eventually reach the point where it is no longer useful, and at that point conserving progress is more important
I’ve always been a drone
Also sir
If the progressive representation is no longer useful, they might create their own problems just to remain relevant
It’s drone, not NPC
We've already long passed the point of where progress is regressive.
I gtg
Post scarcity is fantasy, not sci-fi
Check your f****** pronouns
I’d like the idea of post scarcity but eh
Shit happens
Well in my case I will always be pro-choice even if I can see valid arguments
And that's mainly just because I think some people shouldn't breed LMAO
There will always be scarcity. Everyone only has one body.
"who can be more right-wing"
If the right becomes so dominant that the left is no longer a real party, then chances are the "right" will splinter into a new left and right. Example: the number of people who were liberal and are now considered conservative. That rift is still there.
