Donโt forget talking about which Linux distribution is the best.
Literally Stalin!
Far left extremists also disagree with my intolerant far right extremist beliefs ...... that's censorship!
Nice cherrypicking. No, far left for adoring Stalin, deepthroating Russian propaganda and claiming Ukraine is full of Nazis and poor Russia had to react, claiming the Russian war they started in Ukraine is actually started by NATO, claiming that Russia and China are not imperialist countries and so on. Claiming that Russia and China support trans, gay and other minority people and the vile west doesn't. Claiming that what's happening to Uyghurs is made up.
There's soooo much far left extremism here, way more than I ever encountered anywhere else. Maybe because I never wanted to be part of such a group. But I came with the group that disliked the Reddit api changes and Lemmy really looked like a (smaller and cozier) Reddit replacement at that time.
Most of the content from back then died out, but idiots (who would be among the first to be executed if their dream of regime change happened) cosplaying as leftists stayed.
Maybe you should try blocking .ml, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear so you never actually see the minority of tankies.
I haven't been banned from Reddit.
I want Lemmy to succeed because I want to interact more with people who are not from the U.S., and I don't want to use platforms from the people who were sitting behind him on inauguration day.
Since Elon feels that he can interfere in Reddit and since Reddit seems open to letting that happen, that's a good sign to me that I should limit my use of Reddit and should use alternatives instead. Lemmy seems to be the most Reddit-like of those alternative platforms, so here I am.
Ahh yes letโs discuss fringe radical far left views like โletโs not kill all the poor peopleโ and โthe state has a duty to protect its citizenryโ yes, dangerously radical.
And radical economic ideas like "buy stuff from companies in your own country" or "don't buy stuff from companies in a country that is in the process of severing trade ties with your country".
If you think genocide is bad, you're a communist!
No shit though, the most rabid anti-communists literally thought like that. Like J. Edgar Hoover, the reichminister of the FBI straight up said shit in his book
"The Party (CPUSA) has operated hundreds of major fronts in practically every field of Party agitation: 'peace,' civil rights, protection of the foreign-born, support for (political) 'victims,' abolition of H-bomb tests, exploitation of nationality and minority groups."
Literally saying if you were against shit like Jim crow segregation or having paid vacation days at your job you were literally taking your marching orders from the USSR.
That's how out of touch with humanity they are. If you aren't trying to inflict the maximum amount of human suffering with your every breath you're their enemy.
Lemmy is populated by far left Americans who were banned from Reddit for extremism
considering you can get banned from reddit for being trans or using a vpn because you care about privacy that's not really the point they think they're making
Iโm:
- Not American
- Not far-left (certainly heaps far away from โrightโ tho)
- Not banned from Reddit
Guess Iโm not here, the more ya know
We can be not here together.
It's not my fault a lot of like-minded people also thought "Fuck Reddit". If they want more liberal or conservative people on Lemmy they're welcome as long as they follow the rules. Problem is that liberal or conservative people don't really mind the stuff happening on Reddit, so why would they?
I always thought I was liberal. Why am I here? Maybe the labels have shifted around and I've held on to the same ideas?
I just find it weird when people group liberal and conservative in the same bucket. Labels are about as dangerous as parties, they muddy the discussion.
As a liberal myself I find conservatives think weโre communists and progressives think weโre fascists.
"Liberal" is not a useful word, imo. It means different things to different people. Hexbear users define it in the sense of neoliberalism, a historically right position. To many it means "progressive." To others, it means "somewhere on the left, and I don't care to put myself into a particular box."
If we'd quit shitting on people who call themselves "liberal," we might actually have a more cohesive coalition, rather than rejecting anyone for the tiniest perceived infraction, real or imagined.
Liberal, to me, is the opposite of authoritarian. No idea what other people consider it to be, but IMO it's entirely disconnected from the left/right spectrum. You can have authoritarian left, right or center, same way with liberal.
Like in, "liberal democracy." But consider what "the opposite of authoritarian" means in the context of financial policies. The predictable movements of money are punishing to those who don't own capital in a self-perpetuating vicious cycle that ends with a few wealthy people and millions of people suffering poverty. A lack of regulation of finances results in total authority of capital. Neoliberalism seeks to reduce the authority of the state while increasing the authority of capital.
It is not just finances, a lack of regulation is a problem in a lot of areas because the naive capitalist idea that people will be able to vote with their wallets doesn't work for 90% of product issues (anything you can't see, anything you don't purchase often, anything you can see but lack the expertise to judge, ...).
Just because you don't know what a word means does not make the word not useful. Just because ignorant people misuse the word does not make the word meaningless.
When politically illiterate people use the word liberal to mean "progressive" they are just showing their ignorance. Liberalism is "progressive" when compared to absolute monarchy but that's not saying much.
Hexbear users most certainly do not mean "neoliberalism" when they say "liberal." Don't project your ignorance on other people. Hexbear is a politically literate community.
Instead of writing this horribly ignorant comment you should have just gone and looked up what Liberalism is. The definition is like 3 clicks away.
You don't build a "cohesive coalition" by inviting anyone with any ideology. If people don't share views any "coalition" will tear itself apart.
I think the problem with US politics is that liberal is by party design, grouped with the socialists too. Here in northern Europe, the liberal parties are usually considered our right to far-right parties, while conservatives are a bit more centrist and often without any influence.
That actually helps, at least with your post. All the more why I hate labels, when they totally flip around depending on the perspective of the person using them. This isn't just a US/Europe thing, it's true of history too. Hence the "Party of Lincoln" trope that Republicans like to wave around, ignoring that the party names shifted and flipped over time.
Socialists and other US extreme left ideas merge in with the Democrats because when they first materialized as political movements and a third party, thanks to our political system they either had to die out or pick a side to stay alive.
a conservative european here.
We didn't kill enough nazis
I may be far left, but i'm sure i'm not American!
As a Dane myself, whenever I see someone claiming to be Danish with takes like this, I feel like investigating, and what a curious account indeed. The account is a little over 5 weeks old, yet they've posted so incredibly much I doubt that's their first account. They wrote in Danish a total of 6 times and it doesn't look machine translated, so I believe they're from Denmark, but I also found a post stating they "moved to Denmark", not sure where from though, but they post all over the place, like /r/ukpolitics, /r/norway, /r/newzealand, /r/auckland, /r/australia, /r/jordanpeterson, /r/conservative and /r/republican to mention parts of the spectrum.
Interesting person indeed, clearly right wing, but why would they move to Denmark of all places?
That's a half truth, I've only been banned 6 times from reddit and 3 times from Lemmy, and never for extremism. And all my death threats were deserved.
Isn't the username of the person literally "Heil Hitler"?
POV: you joined Hexbear or Lemmy.ml
Yes, and while I don't always agree, I like it in that they are decent people who challenge my cherished opinions and misconceptions.
Uh, I'm not saying that those people don't exist, but the majority of very indecent people I see antagonistically declaring their own opinions and misconceptions to be obvious facts are from .ml and HB.
Did you delve into those opinions from sources other than your preferred ones?
I have more of a feeling most people here are Deutsch. But then again, thatโs probably an American speaking.
Also: In the last two years I didnโt get a single death threat on Lemmy. On Reddit I sometimes got one a week. Almost always Nazis or cops wanting to fight me on the street, or SA me or something else they love to fantasise over. And then there was that one Indian guy who didnโt like me calling him out on his Islamophobia.
Sooooooooooo I have to assume that part with the death threats is made up.

Why do they think communism is far left?
Because it is? If private ownership of everything is the capitalist goal, aka far right, then people owning everything is obviously its exact opposite, aka far left.
We're currently somewhere in the middle, leaning towards right. Some places further than others.
That's only one part of it. Right to protest, for example, is considered leftist, but it doesn't exist in communism. It's not black and white, but if I had to describe communism as left or right, definitely right due to social freedoms. I'm glad I'm not obligated to take a pregnancy test before getting a job and I don't think that counts as a leftist idea at all.
