How do you feel about Linux and leftist infighting?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Love Linux, but why be redundant about leftists?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Damn Leftists. They ruined Leftism!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

The wrong kind of Leftist ruined Leftism, not the right kind.

/s (because this one really needs it)

leftist infighting

There's a place that doesn't happen?

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft

It’s funny because Lemmygrad, .ml and hexbear are almost indistinguishable from truth social of outside of plain text

Sure but they are mostly Nazi bars and Klan rallies.

Sail the high seas.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Give me leftist infighting over Nazi content any day of the week!

I feel like the tankie brand of leftism shouldn't be called that. Their embracing of technocrat totalitarians kind of puts them out of the left field.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You know, for all the complaints I see of tankies, I have encountered 10x more people who incessantly complain about them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

The problem is that a lot of people, specially Americans, have interiorized "red scare" propaganda notions, even when they see themselves as Lefties.

If you don't just mentally go "uuh, commies" at the mere wiff of communal solutions it's a lot easier to actually look at certain ideas and judge them on their actual pros and cons, as is spotting authoritarianism for what it is (whether it claims to want to implement leftwing notions or rightwing ones) and tribalism (of the kind that supports Fascism whilst claiming to be leftwing, and I include both Putin supporting "communists" and Zionism supporting "liberals")

I don't incessantly complain, but my Lemmy experience had improved massively by banning the most notorious instances.
