soviettatersI've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
deadcatbounceI think everything West is leftish at the moment.
The Soviet Union went alt right, what could be more natural for the west to go left?
I’m Gen X, it’s all a bit too weird for me.
EhListI think that’s an oversimplification as there is an outright fascist in Hungary, a borderline fascist in Italy and a growing in power far right in a lot of Europe. In addition the USA is 2 years away from giving up democracy completely.
If you think the West as a whole is trending progressive you aren’t paying attention
Still, don’t conservative parties in the EU still believe in things like climate change, heathcare, workers rights, etc?
Aren’t they more isolationist (pro Russian), against immigration (hard to blame them there), and anti checks and balances (fuck that)?
That really depends on the nation. At this moment some are more pro-democracy than others. The ones that are trending towards fascism are less likely to support workers rights
