Dude, it's lemmy.

anything anyone says means some random person has to come out of the wood work and turn into a historical battle of good vs evil.

you can't say 'i like cake' here without someone appearing to lecture you how enjoying cake makes you a fascist who supports the gaza genocide and if you REALLY were anti-fascist like they are, you'd never enjoy cake again and destroy all previously memories of cake enjoyment

my family are just people man. they aren't especially shitty people, they are just normal americans. they like football and hamburgers and the suburbs and vote republican. so basically... they are pure evil incarnate for the lemmy userbase. I am the weirdo to them, with my urban living and my small car and my democrat votes.

but some of us have lived our entire lives in a gray area of compromise, and see nothing wrong with that. it's just how ordinary everyday life is... full of compromise, faults, mistakes, and laughing about it. not all of us are holy keyboard warriors.
