soviettatersI've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
thank fucking god reddit was becoming a shithole
Personally, I didn’t see any conservative voices on Reddit outside of their respective subreddits. Reddit just seemed like an echochamber.
i saw it in every sub that wasnt specifically leftist. i mean holy shit have you ever been in PublicFreakout ?
If you think publicfreakout is right wing, where do you think the centre is?
there wasnt, thats why i called it a shithole
I’m asking what you think centrism is if you think somewhere like publicfreakout is right wing.
centrism is not a thing XD
Riiiiight.
come on you know very well is just enlightedcentrism nonsense which is just right wing with extra steps, sometimes used by “intellectuals” to not be labeled as the conservative they are.
I’m not sure you can have any kind of spectrum that doesn’t have a middle.
with politics you clearly can since its always about doing something, the middle would be not doing anything .(which to your point is actually pretty popular)
This is just being obtuse for the sake of it.
please dont drop all your good arguments all at once…
I’m not sure what possible argument would work if you insist that there can be two different points that don’t have a midpoint. That’s primary school geometry.
richieadlerIn the US there are right wing and even more right wing. The Overton window moves so fast more and more to the right that it has a visible Doppler effect.

Not at all how direction works.
If you want to call “left” to whatever passes for progressive in the US (and receives proper mockery in the rest of the world for it) be my guest.
Buy clown make up in the mean time, you’ll need it.
Left of what? This is the extraordinarily simple concept you’re not understanding. Whatever left is it has to be left of something. What’s referred to as progressivism in the US is mostly to the left of the political establishment, and media. It’s center/center-left compared to the population (depending on how you define progressivism).
If you’re just using your own personal desires as your calibration point, then good for you, nobody else should or does care though.
I would introduce you to the idea that there are other countries besides the US, but I see you’re a lost case.
Well as someone who has never once visited the US I am shocked.
