Tbh this is what I love with (uncensored) internet. It’s hard to draw the line between sarcasm and mental illness.

[-] stratoscaster@lemmy.zip 67 points 1 year ago

Yeah but also it enables stuff like Nazi dogwhistling soooo lmao

[-] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago

Well, Nazi existed before the internet and would exist without it. They didn’t wait for the internet to enable themselves. There can’t be zero downside for having a 100% free platform, I do agree.

Yeah but Nazism spread via propaganda, which is what dogwhistling is a form of.

The Internet is the largest spreader of propaganda that humanity has ever seen, so it's not surprising that it helped revitalize neo-nazism and fascism is general. It also served to make satire and actual radicalized behavior harder to detect. A lot of the time, 4chan boards use this "edgy satire" format to normalize the behavior (to an extent). See: the "MAP" misinformation campaign they did and how it reinforced actual pedophilia and demonized LGBT groups

Are you completely oblivious to the rise of right wing ideology the last 10-15+ years? The internet has 100% enabled it.

[-] Trarmp@feddit.nl 16 points 1 year ago

Wrong. /b/ was never good.

Right wingers aren't mentally ill theyre just wrong and have reprehensible morals.

Please stop using mentally ill as an insult. Fascists love that, see R word, calling people autistic or schizophrenic as an insult, etc.

What is marvellous about stupidity and shady morals is that they’re not exclusive to one political colour.

I guess you might be from the US : talking as there is just "the" left and "the" right without nuances and censoring words. I believe it’s something cultural.

Your post just kind of read as a bit hysterical tbh.

[-] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Reading myself again, I agree, it sounds way more sarcastic than intended.

I edited it to focus in the content

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The way it was and should be tbh

[-] icepuncher69@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago

You like being around mentally ill people?
