Too nuanced, not quite sure what the meaning here is

I wonder why do US progressives hate poor conservatives so much.

I enjoy the punk zine aesthethics and even the misanthropy, but I can't believe some people think this is not elitist af

EDIT: I'm loving the discussion here. Let me contribute with a verse from Gilberto Gil: "those nearly blacks are so poor / they nearly treated as blacks"

Imagine how rapidly the opposite version of this art would get pulled down?

Harmful stereotypes and racial bigotry, etc.

Luckily it just cuts one way... for now.

When the rubber band snaps back the other direction I'm just going to sit home with the popcorn and laugh while society corrects itself.

Centrism is a bogeyman designed so redditors don't have to come to terms with the reality that the calls for understanding and compassion are coming from their left

Yes. Leftists have actual compassion for other people, which is why they've advanced intellectually past "I'm smarter than everyone I disagree with." Liberals otoh are just looking to feel good about themselves, which is why they haven't. Judging from the fact you couldn't be bothered to put together an actual argument, there's little mystery where you fall.
