Sir, this is Lemmy.
I know, I know and I know Lemmy's history with far-left and I know this is memes community. But everytime I see such oversimplified thing it becomes kind of scarry to me. I mean the worst human attrocities in the history started with oversimplified "this group of people = BAD! Even worse, they're daemons! Kill them!". So I'm just trynig to calm things down and bring some ballance to the force
I don't disagree.
Lemmy makes me feel like a centrist despite being much more of a democratic socialist on the issues.
But it's a battle I try not to fight here since people are extremely intolerant to opinions they disagree with, much more so than Reddit was. I haven't seen a single nuanced conversation about anything deeper than "how is your day going" since joining up with this place.
The fact that even my most heavily downvoted comments usually have some upvotes too tells me that I'm not shouting into a void. If me trying to make sense of things out in the public makes even one person reconsider their position then I see that as a success. The mobbing and ad-hominem attacks haven't ever made me change my mind about anything so it's just wasted time on their part. It's also a good way to lure out the meanest commentors so that I can block them.
My days in Reddit (and by extension, Lemmy) pulls me over from the left side. I remember when r/LSC still seems profound to me.
I'm only here now for funny memes with hierarchical comments.
Are you actually a democratic socialist, like Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales? Or are you a social democrat, whose political project consists of begging the capitalist class for more crumbs instead of taking power from them.
Because I never see the former complain about tankies or people going too far left, since we have the same goal, whereas the former become reactionaries the moment anything threatens the structure of capitalism and imperialism.
I am a guy who said he isn't fighting these battles on lemmy. Smh.
Lefty lemmy, righty reddit
