F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

it makes me roll my eyes a bit because one of the things about being older is that you realize people's political views are nuanced and bipartisanship actually fucking matters

but on the other hand the world o' politics can be extremely frustrating for young american liberals

frankly a country where a centrist president like obama can be unironically called a socialist is a country that leans way the fuck too far to the right

a shitload of older people do this stuff as well (although they're more likely to be doing the same shit from a conservative side instead of a Democratic side)

and the problem isn't so much that we lean to the right as that our discourse and political structure is just totally fucked and dysfunctional

a centrist president like obama

I think I'm going to print out this comment and tack it somewhere, because it's not something I see a lot. Most centrist groups I lurk in call him a liberal (but not a socialist). I've always seen him as a bit more centrist and trying to work with about three options that resemble different types of steaming dung. To see even the centrist part echoed is kind of a rare thing.

that's basically what it boils down to, sadly
