rdeetsFlorida's new Black history curriculum says "slaves developed skills" that could be used for "personal benefit"
This guy is just spamming this link to hundreds of communities. Wtf man?
Yeah, it’s annoying as fuck. People still think karma has value. Even here.
I’m pretty sure that Lemmy was pretty much inhabited by tankies and MAGA. Then, Reddit showed up.
Now the same bullshit they’ve been circle jerking each other over is getting called out. I enjoy the downvotes. As Lemmy gets more popular, these geniuses are gonna be fun to watch.
You can only get away with spamming sensational bullshit, conspiracy theories and brigading for so long. The general public thinks they’re fuckin idiots. So, the more people who show up, the better it will get.
It will help a lot too when lemmygrad folks aren’t modding a bunch of communities.
Tf is a tankie?
VeraxusA fascist who falsely tells others they are leftist. Some would call them “auth-left” but there is no such thing, because leftism is about egalitarian, distributed power & wealth. Being a proponent of consolidated power or wealth makes you right wing.
BrooklynManThat’s not true. Authoritarian leftism is definitely a thing — Soviet communism was extremely authoritarian to the point of totalitarianism. The opposite would be liberal communism, the extreme of which is anarcho-communism.
Left vs Right and Libertarian vs Authoritarian are two separate axes on a political compass.
YoBuckStopsHereJust FYI those political compasses are not accurate.
adroit balloonwhat’s inaccurate here?
What’s inaccurate about claiming the moon is made of cheese? It’s an absurd lie invented to enable right-wing “both siding”.
The political spectrum dates back to the French Revolution, with the powerful entrenched nobility literally sitting on the right and the representatives of the people on the left. Today the spectrum is a complex web of ideologies with vertical power on the right and horizontal power on the left.
Direct democracy is one example leftism (as are socialism, anarchy, communism as defined by Marx, etc). Feudalism is an example of rightism (as is dictatorship, oligarchy, fascism, etc).
that doesn’t answer my question
It is a meaningless vertice. Imagine adding abortion, racism, women’s rights, religion, trans-rights or any other tool the right uses to fragment us to the vertical axis.
Authoritarian is right-wing, power in the hands of the few.
It’s genuinely hard to tell if you’re trolling by posting in this unrelated topic. If you really want to discuss it why not start a new topic? I’m sure you’d get lots of responses.
It is a meaningless vertice.
“vertice” isn’t a word-- perhaps you meant “vertex”? and what, precisely, do you mean by calling “it” “worthless”?
Authoritarian is right-wing, power in the hands of the few.
as explained (and illustrated) In previous comments, authoritarianism is not exclusive to right-wing ideologies; Soviet-style communism was a left-wing ideology and infamously authoritarian.
Are you trying to argue in good faith? Vertices are the plural of vertex.
Authoritarianism is all there is to right wing ideology. Power is in the hands of the few. Adding a vertical axis for different flavors of right/left wing are a meme, and not a very good one at that. If an “enlightened” dictator implemented full communism through sheer military force or charismatic sorcery, it would still be right wing.
Are you trying to argue in good faith?
says the person claiming that authoritarianism can old exist on the right, lmao
Vertices are the plural of vertex. yeah, but you said “vertice” not “vertices”, and the political compass only has one vertex at the intersection of the two axes, ahem.
Authoritarianism is all there is to right wing ideology.
wrong. right-wing ideologies are varied and complex and can vary from authoritarian to libertarian in nature. your ignorance on this subject doesn’t make your statement correct simply because you lack knowledge of anything else.
If an “enlightened” dictator implemented full communism through sheer military force or charismatic sorcery, it would still be right wing.
if ignorant statements and “magical” reasoning like this are the best you have, then it’s especially hilarious that you accused me of arguing in bad faith…
