No way fr? It’s like being a liberal doesn’t make you a leftist and that you can definitely be a right wing liberal

You can indeed be a right wing liberal, it is however more difficult to be a left wing conservative

is being a left wing conservative even possible?

Not on lemmy, where being left means you have to absolutely and entirely go along with whatever the others feel should be a leftist belief. Purity tests all day every day, followed up by literal campaigns and concerted efforts by other “leftists” against the offending people.

See the whole online boycott war being fought against .ml because the owners ran afoul of something. Lemmy is just as stupid as other social media but has a different demographic, which makes it at least for the time being more palatable.

A “conservative” leftist would probably be someone who generally agrees on economic theory but has a less open and progressive view towards social issues such as marriage rights or immigration.
