    There is a need to redefine the qord in the US. Liberals are just right winged politicians. Always have been. In the US they posed as “left”, but the US doesn’t have a left. You can only choose wether you get to use lube when they fuck you.

    In europe the “liberals” are economically right and socially “not strongly defined”. They don’tcare about people. They only care about money and free markets. They are capitalists, but they are not nazis. In the Netherlands we’ve had a liberal regime for 20 years. They killed most social institutions by which they’ve paved the road for the rise of the far right, but they are not nazis.

    In europe there is no need to redefine the word. We know exactly what it means and we know the stereotypes who vote for them, they are not nazis. They are capitalists.

    I don’t even know how to respond to you. Your comment seems utterly tonedeaf to me, but the upvotes seem to say the opposite. I’ll just say that it’s not healthy to always be angry. Besides all the politics and the polarisation in society, normal life still goes on with all it’s individueal joys and sadnesses. Don’t forget to take a break and experience life every once in a while.







  • Yes that is true. I did not make that distinction. Lemmy.ml isn’t a bad place. But if someone says “capitalism is a good system” or even soemthing like “I like the idea of communism, but not how its implemented” and gets downvoted into oblivion, it discourages them to speak their mind. Eventually you’ll get segregated communities with only one kind of opinion, an echo chamber.

    That isn’t bad perse. If you want to make memes with only likeminded people, or if you want to have in-depth discussions about the things you like, that’s a good thing. That’s the power of the fediverse. The problem is that by all intents and purposes, lemmy.ml is the default instance for people that want to join lemmy. So that “segregated community” with the specific ideologies and the downvotes will be their first impression of lemmy.
