Just a little thought I wanna discuss.

Unlike the more massive social media or the real world where theres not many leftists and we are gladly more united Lemmy and its left leaning tendencies with the instances providing natural cult grouping tendencies. Add to that the matrix in groups there and we all seem to be making a thing out of how to anger each other. How to troll each other or annoy x or y instance.

I hate this.

Living in an extreme right wing nation I know no other anarchist. A few left wingers. Even the libs here are right wing extremists by the standards of a western nation. I hold dear any solidarity.

I support unions here even when everyone there is a religious fundamentalist who wants sharia law bc they still qantnto improve the conditions of the working class.

Many folks here, who again I don’t have any hate for, I see intending these fights and dramas. Having the goal to be banned from x or y community or instance.

  • Why!?!?
  • What do you gain?
  • What is the desire here??

    You’re encouraging people to “stay home in well-earned disgust”. That serves the fascists.

    End of story.

    There are ways to say what you want to say carefully. But in my opinion stopping the Nazis needs to come before any other priorities.

      I’m remarking on a genuine phenomenon. At no point did I tell anyone to stay home, but anyone who wants no criticism of the party interprets all criticism as such.

      There are ways to say what you want to say carefully.

      There is no criticism of the worst behavior of the party that won’t be regarded as disloyalty from people who like how the party moved so far to the right that it supported genocide.

      But in my opinion stopping the Nazis needs to come before any other priorities.

      democrats didn’t even consider that enough of a problem to change their most odious position.

        At this point not telling people to stay home from voting isn’t good enough. It’s great to discuss different views. But especially when heaping criticism, you must balance that with warranted criticism of opposing political sides. Making a point about the democrat’s failure to stop the abuses by Israel needs to be alongside the context of the republican’s stated goals to flatten Gaza and turn the area into a trump casino. Otherwise you are damaging the democrats relative reputation and so promoting worse outcomes for the people of Gaza by helping the GOP. If you can help with the bigger picture while also helping with specific causes, that’s great.

          Nothing but performative worship of democrats for their support for genocide will ever satisfy centrists.

          Nothing the left ever does will ever be enough because every centrist got the only thing any of them wanted with the genocide support.

          The party is shit on purpose until they change and their apologists love it.
