I don't have much of a problem either way as I don't think I'll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That's fine. There's clearly a more liberal audience here and that's okay. I just don't want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I'm new here.

leftists believe they should elevate group identity at all costs,

And this very clearly indicates that your own Ideas have little left wing ideas. Seriously lack unbiased input.

As that statement is entirely false.

As I said. Anyone can set up an instance with any political ideal they like. But if you fail to remove commenters with ideas that oppose the right of others to exist as free entities. No one wanting top join you. Is not removal of your right to free speech. No one is banning right wing ideals. If you fail to sell them in a way people want to listen to. That is your issue, not ours.

Entirely false? No. Many leftists have adopted ideologies like CRT full step. It’s quite common. I agree not all have, and many still adopt the tenants that brought many civil rights (like color blindness, which is a legitimate way towards reducing racism, which is a culture construct in the first place. But the fact is that there are many on the left that have swallowed the post modern pill.

2 faults

It is a biased view. That those ideologies. In accepting the harm, systemic racism has done over history, in some way advance one group over another.

Many Leftists dose not in any way cover the rest of the world. When these ideologies are only really supported in any way. By the United States. Where left really does not exist by the measure of the rest of the world.
