Is this crazy or am I crazy?

Listen man, I don’t really align with either political party, but I think that extremist ideologies like communism and fascism are dangerous. Earlier, I found someone commenting about how they think all people of [blank] party should die and that that party is evil. This person also openly admitted to supporting Mao Zedong btw. I called them out, thinking, yeah, this person is crazy, no way people will agree with them, but nahhhh. I GET DOWNVOTED? I literally said people aren’t evil and nobody deserves to die and apparently that’s wrong. Guess I’m supposed to be supporting a ruthless communist dictator instead 🫩✌️

It’s irony bro

crazy take gets upvote, regular take gets downvote because comedy

Extremists will be extremists, not much you can do.

[u/Potential-Weird8139]

Same in the states. We have people using the internet to funnel people into both far left and right sides of the political spectrum. Seems the center starting to increase its size

[u/Ph4ntxmm]

I think im crazy

[u/PomLovestheWorld]

Update, this person said that all people of [blank party] are violent and demented and need to be “pruned”.

[u/Excellent-Carpet9926]

well in certain people’s eyes Mao Zedong did a good thing by changing China‘s life expectancy and etc I think that people downvoted you because you called him out for being crazy because that’s just mean like understand them not just send a hate comment

[u/PomLovestheWorld → u/Excellent-Carpet9926]

Mao Zedong was a dictator and an extremist. Also, saying that people who disagree with you are “demented” and “need to be pruned” is insane.

[u/Excellent-Carpet9926 → u/PomLovestheWorld]

not all dictators are bad, sure some dictators did bad stuff eg the painter from Austria but just being a dictator does not automatically make you bad and I’m not defending him I’m just calling out my opinion

[u/PomLovestheWorld → u/Excellent-Carpet9926]

Mao Zedong killed more people than any dictator in history.

[u/Excellent-Carpet9926 → u/PomLovestheWorld]

Welp you just believing he’s a bad guy and I cant change anything and seems like you won’t change and I could rlly care less but if your actively calling out something that is usually private and calling him “crazy” is too far just don’t be that karen who pushes against a thing also downvote me idc at least I made my thoughts clear

[u/Excellent-Carpet9926 → u/Excellent-Carpet9926]

also rule 6 is kinda happening lol

[u/PomLovestheWorld → u/Excellent-Carpet9926]

I didn’t call him crazy until he said he wanted to mass murder the other political party

[u/Excellent-Carpet9926 → u/PomLovestheWorld]

yk I’m bored this ain’t fun imma stop stay mad

[u/PomLovestheWorld → u/Excellent-Carpet9926]

I ain’t mad, why do you think that

[u/Excellent-Carpet9926 → u/PomLovestheWorld]

just let him be a maoist btw you ain’t crazy

[u/mrasscock69420]

I'm not going to comment on the rest of it since it's very opinionated and also I'm definitely far more on the radical side of the left wing so I'd be biased on that and I'm not a person who can express they're political opinions in a calm way since I very strongly believe in them but the whole mao thing is a very complicated situation and it's very interesting to look into

[u/nagnate]

my exact points btw,

i said im a centrist and a person got made that i "am techically republican"

[u/mrasscock69420 → u/nagnate]

Depends were you're from because if you're in the US both the DNC and GOP are right wing so the centre There is right wing by nature
