They're rare, but they're unfortunately here

What I never understood is why don’t the free speech absolutionists embrace lemmy?

The fediverse should be the epitome of self determination, individualism and saying whatever you want to say without some higher power telling you that you can’t…

Hence why I don’t think conservatives today are truly right wing, they don’t really do the shit they claim they are all about.

Such a bummer the 80s futuristic look ever caught on past then, car dashes that made you feel like you are on the enterprise were awesome.

I'll take a non-maga right wing user over a tankie any day. It's not even close.

This screams that people with different opinions aren't people with valid opinions and lead to further dialectic conversation, and I reject that premise.

Conservatives should be welcome. Everyone should be welcome.

Jesus Christ so many of you on here are in love with your echo chambers aren’t you? Every other day there is something about instance wars and oh let’s see, whom do we want to exclude today. You don’t have to like what others have to say, but you have to be able to listen to them.

Since most people here seem to be American, the problem is their worldview. Nowadays "right wing" in america just means insane people. Americans have lost all sense of nuance, everything is black or white.

Tankies are right wing. Watch them make excuses for Russia and say NATO should pull out of Ukraine. Watch them say a Trump presidency is better than the alternative.

Got banned off redit for using an alt to comment on publicfreakout which I was supposedly banned from, glad this place is still left leaning, but I would rather not have a bubble like reddit either, it gets annoying and isn't representative of the world like it should be.

At least we can all hate each other with public logs. I have said it many times: I hate everyone equally.

But I will say; my favorite racial slur is sand person.

I've said this before, and been(more than) down voted for it, but I want more conservatives, more tankies, more anything I don't outright agree with. People will say how bad person in their echo chamber is in their echo chamber.

The early internet was so scarce it was important to find like minded people. Today the internet is so widespread it should be the opposite. It takes 5 minutes to find a entire platform filled with people who all think like you. That's how we got flat earth conventions.

I'm confident in my beliefs and opinions, which is why I want them challenged. I want to think critically, I want difficult rhetoric. I want my world view to be challenged. I want to be uncomfortable.

And they're always bitching about batshit things on conservative.

HOW DARE BIDEN GIVE MONEY LAUNDERER ZELENKSY MORE MONEY. HE IS SURROUNDED BY IT IN HIS CASTLE.

Like bruh shut the fuck up.

I injected ivermetcin infused raw milk into my veins so that I can get the REAL news quicker.

This is too insightful to be a shitpost.

The presumes that tankies are not actually just right wing trolls trying to divide the left via extremism.

i'm not conservative, by any stretch of the definition, though i do appreciate some of the more classically conservative values (none of which actual conservatives stand for ironically)

Nor am i progressive, or any flavor of communistic. Although that might change given enough problems with the US voting populace. Though not to the amusement of any lemmy users im sure,

Frankly, to be honest, i'm anti humanist right now, in my political satire arc. Take from that what you will, but if you take it the wrong thing, i will outlive you politically.

TL;DR im disappointed in everyone, you should've done better, you should have higher standards for yourself and your conduct, and you don't and that makes me sad.

Meanwhile moderates on both sides think all of you need to desperately touch some fuckin grass.

Seriously I am very worried about the mental health of like 97% of the people on here.

Tankies when someone who defends any western action appears: fucking right wing nutjob

Other instances when someone who is traditionally considered left wing appears: fucking right wing nutjob

Right wingers when someone left of centre appears: I don't think you're right but you make valid points on xyz

Now which way are people going to drift based on those interractions?

You can't complain about how splintered the political landscape is without ditching the "us vs them" mentality and finding common ground (of course with the caveat that fuck people who make discrimination a key part of their personality and people who celebrate oppression as clearly they aren't reasonable people)

How do we feel about libertarians?

Stethoscope theory.

Tankies are just right wingers with zaney lines they drew themselves.

Trump is more left wing than your most left wing tankie.

Twelve down votes right now lmfao
