    It’s not blurring the lines to say “yellow-green isn’t orange” and the fact that you’re insisting that it does kinda shows you for what you are.

    You don’t even fucking know me but you think you get to decide what I am because I had the audacity to suggest there’s more nuance than simply your way or the fascists?

      Of course you’re not blurring the lines! You’re not inserting a bunch of extra shades and colours into the discussion to blur lines, you’re doing it for some different, other reason! Which is also why you’re this tilted by being told you are what you are. Because you’re not that, you’re something else!

        It’s not blurring the lines at all to say “yellow-green isn’t orange.” That’s a simple fact. The line is crystal clear. And it’s not "a bunch of extra shades and colors. It’s a fucking color, and it’s not orange. Look at a color wheel if this level of nuance is too lofty for you.

        You’re the one blurring the lines by saying “actually, yellow-green is orange,” and “if you’re not unquestioningly on my side then you must be on the opposite.” Not everything is black and white. Fascists are bad, yes, but it’s also entirely possible to not be a fascist and still disagree with you. The fact that you can’t seem to accept that means you’re just as bad as the fascists.

        And I’m not the one being “tilted,” whatever that means, you’re the one “bitching” so that’s twice you’ve made accusations in a mirror. More fascist techniques. Get fucked.

          Are you sure you’re yellow-green, and not amber-green? Or acid-green? Or maybe arctic lime? I’m sure there’s more shades we can cram in there…

            I never even said I’m yellow green. I never said anything to indicate where I fall on the spectrum except in no uncertain terms that I’m not orange.

            And yet you, knowing nothing about me, want to make guesses and conjectures as to where I fall on that spectrum? Based on nothing. Nothing except the vain hope you have that you’ll find a reason to justify calling me an orange. Because all you have are strawmen, made-up arguments about circumstances that you’ve only imagined.

            Also, “yellow-green” is a tertiary color. It’s what you get when you mix yellow with green. Those fancy colors you’re naming, which I don’t doubt you’ve made up entirely, are not on the color wheel.

            Crayola gives its hues silly names, but that doesn’t put them among the only twelve colors that feature on the color wheel. And the fact that you don’t understand the difference only goes to show that your mind is below the level of a middle schooler.

              Yes, it is deeply unclear where you fall on a spectrum that, as we can see from the comic, clearly exists.

                I don’t have to kowtow to you just to convince you that I’m unquestioningly obedient to your flavor of ideology. You’re literally no better than a fucking fascist with that mentality, which was my point from the start. Look in a fucking mirror for once.

                You’re so far beyond green that you made your way around the wheel and came out in the orange, but you still call yourself green and accuse anyone who doesn’t agree with you of being orange.

                The comic is criticizing someone who says “I’m part green and part orange” because green and orange don’t mix. They’re too far apart on the spectrum and would just make brown. Which is only further evidence that “yellow-green,” an actual color on the wheel, isn’t orange.

                If you’re insinuating that a spectrum doesn’t exist, what are you really trying to say? That everything is monochrome? There’s only two colors? “If you’re not precisely my shade of green, then you might as well be orange.” That’s the same mentality the fascists have, you just flipped it around. You’re a fucking hypocrite and have no commitment to the principle of greenism.

                  Good god the point smacked you in the face and you still can’t see it.
