It doesn’t to me. It’s just communists vs liberals rather than left vs right.

As someone with similar views, I recently realised that I have the exact same tribalism and aggression, it’s just targeted at people who have that mentality.

Exactly. Blame/credit (blame in this case) doesn’t travel that way.

Take the following example: Alice and Bob both support view X. Bob also supports view Y. Y is evil. Then, Bob can be deemed responsible for supporting view Y. But X does not become evil because Bob is. And so Alice is completely fine.

Hell, “gaslighting” itself is a good example of this phenomenon, and it’s mostly on the left.

Nah, it’s probably because most of us left Reddit at some point, either due to banning left-wing subs or due to corporate dickery.

The right-wingers went their way, to places like Voat, Saidit, Gab and Truth Social.

Finally. There you are. I’ve faced so many left-wing schmucks, I was wondering where the right-wing ones had gone.

But you’re still a schmuck. Leftists don’t want children to grow up to be vile.

If you want to link me to an author I don’t recognise, you’ll have to try harder than Luxemburg!

I’m pretty sure that’s what they mean.

Nobody cares what Lenin had to say. You’re not just talking to the lemmygrad lot.

Jeremy Corbyn is a notorious antisemitic twat who was so shit people literally voted for Boris fucking Johnson to avoid having Corbyn in power! How terrible do you have to be to get people to support Johnson?

The latter.

You are a tankie though.

If it were just that dimension, where’s all the (right-)libertarians?

Yeah, Reddit leans boringly mildly progressive, Lemmy leans communist.

Climate change will not cause human extinction. Even the worst predictions aren’t close to extinction level. There’s 8 billion of us and we have technology.

Climate change will cause bad shit to happen. It already has. But bad shit is not the same as extinction.

There’s no use arguing with Lenins2ndCat. I’ve argued with them before, and they already know they’re right despite any arguments or evidence to the contrary.

Then don’t call it communism.

If a vaguely populist leader started outright talking about supporting fascism, that would quite rightly bring to mind at least Italian Fascism if not German Nazism, and arguing that they just meant the idea of close mutual support and people being stronger together (like a fasces) would not work.

I sometimes feel that way, yeah. The problem with democracy is the sheer quantity of idiots.

Wait, is it? Switched to Revanced because NP wouldn’t let me.

NewPipe’s great, but it’s less useful because I prefer some features it doesn’t have (like the ability to log in).
