I acknowledge both. I'm waiting for the rest of my country to do the same.
You seem happy to be taking a specifically Right stance though, often ignoring Right hypocrisy whilst railing against Left hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy. You can roughly choose a side (I align more with the Left, overall), but ignoring hypocrisy when it arises makes you just as bad. You have to understand that pointing out all hypocrisy will make you unpopular with your own side. Not everyone can do it, it takes guts to lose the support of a clan in an effort to stand up for your own beliefs, but it's worth it in the long run.

Lol but again, I do not care about Human Torch. Make him black, make him rainbow colored.

Just don't whine about it when another character is changed from (insert one color to another).

No whining Aang isn't Asian if there can be no whining Human Torch isn't white. Deal with all or none of it.

Lol but I do not ignore hypocrisy. I will call it out. I want those on the other side to grow a sac too.

People here have, on more than one occasion, thrown a little b*tch fit when I say both sides are just as bad. Not you, but other imbeciles? Yes.

This is still the wrong stance. Judge each situation on its own merits. Rationality is often not a binary choice.

which kinda defeats the purpose of these redpill hugbox types. it's really all about relating to other people and finding some friends. 🙁

You do post a lot more about Left-leaning hypocrisy though, you know you do. Whilst you are more likely to admit to wrongdoing on your own side more than most other posters, you still help to fuel the partisan politics that you stand against.

Lol but in my experience what you're espousing here is bullshit. Because when they say deal with it on each "situation" it generally means: it will be okay if it's casting a black guy as a white character, otherwise it is not.

This is how it usually goes down. Aang from Avatar doesn't look super asian. A FIT was thrown over it.

Like I wish more people felt like you do as opposed to claiming they do, but then showing they truly don't. That would be awesome.

Well yeah, that's essentially what a lot of modern politics is. Finding people who reaffirm your own 'beliefs' for validation and a form of kinsmanship. I understand it, I'd just rather not take part in it.

And when both sides receive equal coverage it won't be needed.

Trust me: if the media suddenly starts NOT pointing out republican hypocrisy on a large scale? I'll be there. When our media mostly leans right and we only here about leftist hypocrisy? Boom, I'll be there to point it out and balance the scales.

When pressed, I can still acknowledge both are shit lol.

When 'they' say it... am I 'them'? Am I? No. Stop scaremongering by claiming that terminology is inherently inferring meaning based on a political allegiance. Use rationality. Use deduction. Do not just go for whatever your chosen belief structure allows you to say.

And I flat out say it would be better if more were like you, but they are not. They've been mentally castrated.

most of us are confident enough in own intelligence to not require validation from strangers by repeating tropes in an echo chamber.

Such is the world though, really. It's a petty place that is often unwilling to spend more than a minute or two figuring out a situation. Paparazzi culture – the spotlight's on you, make a choice: agree or disagree with this statement. No time for articulation or critical thinking. Choose: left or right, or be hated by both.

I choose hated by both because that way I never have to sacrifice my own personal integrity.

Is this your way of telling us you don't have enough confidence in your own intellect or has just all self awareness evaporated from this area?

It's...it's the second one, isn't it?

From what I've seen on the internet, people are much happier in thought bubbles than anywhere else, so I have to disagree with the idea that "most" people do not need that sense of validation

No
