richieadler@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you deal with right wing parents?1·4 months agoThat means nothing. They only disconnect your proprioception so you don’t know where you end and the external world begins.

Being right wing is incompatible with common decency, period.

And I read a lot of complaints about a woman leading a movie called Mad Max.
