minus-squareBigDiction@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·1 month agoI think OP understands there is space to the left of US democrats, and the discourse tends to be “Kinda left” by commonly understood definition. Also some of us enjoy a lot of non-political content, and World is fine for that.
minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoI don’t. I don’t think they know that. I don’t think you do either. Leftism can be cleanly seperated from Liberalism in this way: Leftists want to abolish capitalism, change it so much that it’s not capitalism any more. Liberals think capitalism is… a good person, but just, misunderstood. Also, if I just told you that the LW admin/mod team is… consistently defending genociders, and state sponsored terrorism? And you say… well I am apolitical, so that’s fine? You are not apolitical, you are in fact explcitly fine with those horrible things, you are saying they don’t bother you that much. … there are plenty of non political communities and discussion on… all of the banned instances, many others too. But no, no, you’re fine with the genocide supporting one. Ok then.
