So in other words, it's been taken over by right-wingers. π€¦ Wasted my time again.
Not everything you disagree with is right wing. You sound like an American lol FYI this server owner is Estonian, one of the most liberal countries in the EU.
And everyone knowd if a country is liberal it can't have any conservatives in it /s
And? Is there something wrong with anyone not having US-style far left neo-liberal views? I don't get your point
Since when was the US far-left?
It's more about the bipartisan system and very vocal representatives of both extremes it breeds.
Since when was the US left very vocal?
Always, just like the US right. A living example - a person that responded to me in this very thread.
Then where are all the riots?
What does it have to do with the extreme vocal minority? Nothing.
What proof is there of the US left being vocal? So far, the leftβif it exists at all in this forsaken countryβhas been largely silent as society crumbles around it.
You've exposed yourself with "far left neo-liberal views" because nothing about America or liberalism (much less fucking neoliberalism) is far left. Just admit you hate gays poc and women and stop pretending. You aren't fooling people.
Wait what? How does your reply make any sense? You assume things and instantly belive those are true? This is ridiculous.
Because I'm not a fucking idiot born today. I've been around people like yourself who use language you use and complain about how far left America is. And guess what. Without fail every single fucking example of someone talking about far left neoliberalism which again doesn't make any sense always ends with the mask coming off. No one is fooled by you. We all have seen this shit time and time again.
You definitely sound like one. Labeling people based on your personal assumptions is kinda an idiotic thing to do.
Calling out regressive dog whistles isn't idiotic. Making regressive dog whistles is.
Sure, if you say so.
You gave me so many labels, that's Insane. You don't event know me. And you most definitely don't get to tell me where to go and what to do.
Your post is a prime example of what's wrong with the extremists on both sides. You are no better than a nazi you are accusing me of being.
You need therapy.
Also I am a leftist. I would say a classic liberal.
If you want to create an eco chamber for yourself, you could've just said so.
Well, if you wanted to take over left spaces and deny them the ability to have a community of their own so you can more easily kill them off, you should have said so
Implying that I'm a "conservative" just because i disagree isn't a good way to start your point. Second of all, I think it's perfectly reasonable to create a space (as long as they respect that space) where anyone can discuss and formulate and share their own opinions without being persecuted. That goes for any side even conservatives. Its a good way to prevent an us vs. them mentality (which is what you're doing by the way) and allows us to prevent hate and misinformation from spreading from their own circles to us.
Implying you are going to manipulate or guilt trip me by playing victim when you are told you are wrong. You are not. Literally everyone who is different than you is your victim, and you are the one who will have to live with blood on your hands. But knowing you, you love the taste of it.
That escalated quickly.
I'm not implying I'm a victim. I'm just saying your assumptions are unreasonable at best and or manipulative at worst. Also who are you describing? Are you ok, anon?
Well that's an overreaction. That vaccines community mentioned here sounds stupid but to say this entire instance has been taken over by right wingers because of one nut job? Is that really what you're saying?
