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?
It's not like right wingers have never fucked off and built their own "free speech" social media sites, with blackjack, and hookers.
Oh wait they do it all the fucking time. They're just mad we figured out we can play their game too.
They're also mad it makes it obvious that there are more of us than there are of them, since they get filtered into their own little defederated silos on Lemmy. They hate reality's well-known liberal bias.
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.
"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.
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.
Agreed, I mean absolutely no disrespect.
None taken or meant either. I just see it a lot, and I guess this morning it triggered a response. :D
I don't know what to call myself, I just know what ideas and values I believe in, and the ones I hate.
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.
Far left extremists banned for their extremist views such as
- Encouraging punching Nazis/fascists
- Believing Palestinians deserve to live
- Discussing Super Mario Bros.
- Upvoting
Far left extremists also disagree with my intolerant far right extremist beliefs ...... that's censorship!
That's my favorite part of it all.
Explain what Far-Left means?
Does it mean woke/DEI/Luigi/new phase that makes people uncomfortable?
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.
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?
... so, Russian troll factory account
Maybe he was hired to work on an oil platform or something, you never know.
Thank you for investigating
Sorry, have to lock post since it's attracting off-topic debate and personal attacks that break the rules.
i'm left on a lot of stuff.
I'm small c conservative on a few things. mostly fiscal
My reddit account has not been banned. i'm here by choice
Exact same here. But I still occasionally pop on Reddit to shit post about bad knockoff watches.
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.
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
He uses a lot of words but what I think he's trying to say is 'I'm not leaving Reddit because I'm an American neonazi and I like how things are going here'
That's funny, I deleted my Reddit account after I'd gotten sick of it.
No. Neither. Am here.
a conservative european here.
Conservatism is cancer
better cancer then AIDS.
Itโs funny that the commentator is danish.
Just a Canadian here. Threatening 'murica for being ....'murica. fuck em. I hope they hate it.
Why do they think communism is far left?
slight truth to it but the answer is more normal people not less
Isn't the username of the person literally "Heil Hitler"?
