soviettatersI've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
Reality has a well known left leaning bias.
Conservatives and their politics do not have equal status. In this climate, “both sides” is toxic and suggest each is equally supported and viable. They are not. The right is an incredibly hateful minority end should be treated as such.
And comments like this show that the left is just as hateful. With the usual “agree with me or your are racist…” or someother bullshit spiel.
Did someone say agree with me or you’re racist? I didn’t see that anywhere. All I saw was calling a goose a goose, or in this case, a fascist party fascists.
Calling the right leaning crowd a hateful minority while ignoring the fact that the left leaning side does the same is hypocritical.
Someone saying that right-wingers are hateful bigots is now somehow the same as declaring trans people universally pedophiles, refusing them medical treatment, and openly advocating for their extermination.
Yes, the conservatives in the “west” have started calling for a cleansing of Trans people out of society, but I guess Holocaust 2 electric boogaloo (and yes I am very consciously using that because the Turfs are now openly working together with Neo-Nazis to the aims of removing the “evil manipulative group trying to destroy our culture/race/sexual orientation”) is equivalent to someone saying bad words bad that conservative group…
I wasn’t aware that things in america have gotten that bad. I always heard that people have been divided, but it’s really eye opening to see just how much. What can be done to combat extremist views?
