aelwero , to Political Memes in Ew.

I'm purely about individual liberties for all individuals.

That makes me absolutely centrist, and in defiance of the societal definitions of the word "libertarian", I'm using it in that specific context.

If you've got a better term, lay it on me :)

Look man, I'll defend your right to say that stupid ass shit and make stupid ass assumptions about me, and I'll defend it with my life, but you're getting the Steve Harvey look right now...

aelwero , to Political Memes in Ew.

Kinda feels that way :)

aelwero , to Political Memes in Ew.

Imminently relatable... I'm a centrist libertarian, and I'm not a fan of Dems, but I like current Republicans considerably less...

aelwero , to Asklemmy in What was the Fosbury flop of music?

There were others who changed sports as well... Fosbury didn't cause the Olympic committee to implement any bans, which is to say that others arguably attempted much larger changes...

He simply tried something way the hell off the beaten path and it caused people to think differently about how to go about doing their thing.

Jimi wasn't even the only revolutionary influence in his time, you could argue chuck berry had more influence at the time, you could argue Charlie christian had more influence at sorta the same time, you could argue Zeppelin, Sabbath, the Beach boys...

Nobody came crashing into music from deep left field like Hendrix did though, just like nobody came into the Olympics from deep left field the way fosbury did (I'd argue for korbut, but nobody followed her lead due to pretty much everything she did getting banned).

I get what you mean and don't disagree, but I did say I was speaking to a specific context ;)

aelwero , to Asklemmy in What was the Fosbury flop of music?

Hendrix. Hendrix is the fosbury of music. Dude went off in his own direction in both technical and compositional terms, and a lot of people followed.

There's solid points in the comments, but I feel like we're talking about a single individual ignoring convention here, and there's really only one answer in that context :)

aelwero , to politics in Trump closes in on Biden with young voters: Poll

Attachment to either party is waning among younger voters. A plurality (41%) of them call themselves independents.

I swear this is a generational thing. Silent Gen were rebellious bastards, boomers were not, gen x are rebellious bastards, millennials are not, gen z going with being rebellious bastards totally checks out .

My old gen x ass is 100% with you my little dudes/dudettes... Gotta fight for your right to party ;)

aelwero , to Lemmy.org - Politics in Michigan governor says not voting for Biden over Gaza war ‘supports second Trump term’

The very first presidential election I was eligible to vote in, one in six voters chose neither a Democrat nor a Republican.

If you want to preserve any semblance of democracy, stop buying the snake oil. We absolutely can vote for neither, and I go back far enough to have seen 18% of the population go out to the ballots and prove it.

aelwero , to Lemmy.org - Politics in Michigan governor says not voting for Biden over Gaza war ‘supports second Trump term’

"It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,”

God fucking damnit...

I actually like whitmer, she seems to trend less partisan than most, but disparaging Biden does not make someone a fucking trump supporter...

A typical trump supporter is a jonestown-esque cult member. It's not someone who isn't kissing Bidens ring.

I'm sick as absolute fuck of the binary bullshit that you gotta choose red or blue... There's a purple libertarian party, and if you're really off kilter, there's the greens... Just because they only pull 2% of the votes doesn't mean they don't exist, you're still talking about millions of people.

Biden is a puppet, his whole administration has their hands up his ass making his mouth move while they all do the actual talking. That doesn't mean the Biden administration isn't doing well, and it sure as fuck doesn't mean trump is a good idea, but fuck Biden. Without supportimg trump, and without disparaging the way shits going...

Stop buying this shit, and whitmer, you should be ashamed of propagating it

aelwero , to InsanePeopleFacebook in doorbells have rules

Might think they aren't fucking around, but take a shot at random folks ringing the doorbell and theyll definitely find out... Cops are gonna show up, and they're likely to be a little grumpy.

aelwero , to politics in Pelosi suggests Putin has financial influence over Trump

Regardless of where you stand on the matter of trump-putin, this has been the narrative for almost a decade, so trotting it back out kinda seems a little tired.

It's also a little silly that even with all the dragging this shit back out to beat a dead ass horse, there's zero mention of trump, in an interview, claiming he'd end the Russia Ukraine issue overnight... I'd personally say that's of much greater relevance than trying to subtly imply financial relations or even the little hint of blackmail she went for.

There's only one way you end that shit overnight... You hand Ukraine over to Russia.

There's plenty of people that wouldn't vote for that... You wanna talk trump-putin in an attempt to influence votes, that's the sound bite ya want.

aelwero , to Ukraine in Instead of a thousand words

There was a time when assuming what you see on the internet was what it appeared to be and not misleading in any way was considered foolish...

I guess I'm old

aelwero , to Ukraine in Instead of a thousand words

The symbol isn't exclusive to Nazis, and the styling suggests it's something else... Not saying it isn't Nazis because I don't know, but I feel it's not a good assumption.

It pretty clearly was intended to imply it though, based on the lower photo, which is far less ambiguous.

aelwero , to Ukraine in Instead of a thousand words

Link wants me to download an app and that ain't happening, is that Nazis, KKK, or something totally benign? What's the context here?

aelwero , to privacy in U.S., Dozens of Rogue California Police Agencies Still Sharing Driver Locations with Anti-Abortion States

Totally fine for California to have all that data though...

I don't think the sharing part is really the issue here.
