"Sometimes, someone posts an angry response to some terrible opinion I've never heard before, and it's a weird indirect way to learn how awful their other friends must be."
People in real life: Hey man how's it going?

I literally can't follow this. It seems like it's trying to subtext a different situation... Are there actually conservatives appropriating opossums as a fascist symbol? If this should be taken at face value, it seems like a subversive way to spread environmental consciousness.
Not that I've seen at least. Never seen a conservative even share it, let alone thing its actually something to do.
Personally I'm all for mocking conservative bullshit and flipping them to make them actually good opinions like "Ya know, cars are expensive, true patriots ride bikes since the government can't revoke your biking license!"
I actually love bumper stickers like this. I'm all for mocking patriots, especially when possums are involved :3
What's the thing with possums? I think I asked somewhere but either forgot the answer or didn't get a satisfactory one ๐ Hopefully that wasn't here.
For me, it's just that they're so cute and unique. I think a lot of people relate to them because they're unconventional animals but are so, so loveable.
Also immune to rabies and eat ticks. Literally no downsides except the smell
TIL opossums are marsupials :) and that there are marsupials outside Australia.
There are something like 130 species of marsupials native to South America, and they're pretty much all different types of possums. The fossil record indicates marsupials may have diversified first in South America, then spread to Australia through Antarctica (when all 3 continents were part of Gondwana).
The monito del Monte is the closest relative of all Australian marsupials, but it lives thousands of miles away in southern Chile.
Yeah it's genuinely a weird that that North America even has one. Possums are cool!
One of my favorite creatures
Too bad they don't live in my region

Anyone is welcome, not just leftists, but these are the guidelines:
- No oppressing other users (bigotry is oppression). This includes not using the r-slur (or any variation thereof).
- No defending oppressive systems such as capitalism or the US "democracy."
- No uncivil or rude comments to other users (politicians and capitalists are fair game).
- No ax murderers, serial killers, neoliberals, torturers, cops, cryptobros, debatebros, or similar.
- Discussion, not debate. It's okay to ask someone to elaborate on an idea, but most communities shout down leftists and post-leftists, and that's not supposed to happen here. This includes especially "whatabout Trump" on posts criticizing Biden.
- No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities such as IDF, ICE, the US prison system, or likewise.
- Transphobes eat my ass.
- These guidelines are meant to allow open discussion and prevent the constant trolling of leftists and post-leftists that happens in places like reddit and Facebook. Follow the spirit of these guidelines.
If you are here to learn, then welcome! Remember this is not a debate hub. This is a place to share and learn.
Other than that, feel free to share memes, text posts, articles, or other things you find edifying and helpful.
The main reason I started this is because I know it's hard to have a discussion in non-leftist spaces without constantly having to stop and explain fundamental ideas, so I hope this will give a space and a voice to anyone who's felt frustrated like me.
