I said people, as in people in general, like to blame others. I followed that with differences between the current state of left and right wing in the U.S. And I was sarcastic about it when I used the word “diversity” in regards to the multitude of people the right hates vs the left shitting on the elderly because shitting on anyone else will be met with a great amount of scorn.
Yes, and I pointed out that sometimes blaming others is correct, and sometimes it isn’t. You can’t just say “everyone likes to blame others” and pretend this is a useful insight.
In the context of the post that was yet another “it’s the boomers’ fault”, generalization is just fine. Nuance and Lemmy don’t get along very well. But sure, “it’s not all ___ people” works. Just don’t phrase it that way….
The right hate the wrong people. That’s it.
That’s not at all what I said, but I get it, reading is hard.
What you said was “you’re all the same as the right because they blame other people”
I’m pointing out how stupid that is, because sometimes, other people are to blame. The right just hates the wrong people.
It’s not “boomers” exactly, but rather, people wealthy enough to live safe and healthy lives into old age.

Do you not see the irony of generalizing Lemmy while trying to flatten all generalizations as being the same?
Do you?
Yes! That’s what I’m saying! You’re literally doing the same thing, do you not realize that?
Everyone generalizes, there’s nothing particularly insightful or useful about that observation. It’s trite.
