This is a conservative talking point... Liberal and communism are left ideals...
Liberalism is right-wing, and is explicitly pro-capitalist and anti-communist.
You guys ever think you're being coaxed by the rich to create all these dividing groups. I sure do.
Are you funded by the billionaire elite to defend liberalism? Obviously we divide capitalist ideology from socialist/communist groups
๐ .ml
There's the issue
you are in an ml com you dumb fucking lib.
Yea I can tell. Look at you.
Apparently you couldn't tell, lol
You wouldn't know either way
These are so weak
"You're from instance I don't like" isn't a particularly strong argument fyi
What is this?
Do you like r/thr_donald? Does not liking them invalidate your criticism for them.
You're on world, does that mean you are pro genocide of Palestinians? ๐ค
No, I don't. I would be against that completely
But you are on world who are for it. Therefore by your logic must be for it
Yea look .ml as an instance is not the same. Just arguing semantics is pointless. Look at hexbear. Some instances are clearly different. Regardless if you acknowledge it. That's your problem if you choose not to.
Again pointing out how silly that assumption is especially when on world.
I can't understand if can't see the hypocrisy or just don't care because it fits your view
Tell me why it's a silly assumption. What would left leaning astro turfed spaces look like?
Do you honestly think everyone who doesn't share all your views are bots?
No, do you often get your arguments from Trump supporters? It's such a vapid thing you say. I'm very specific about .ml and why. Dance around it all you like
So it's trump supporters Astros Turfing?
None of this makes sense
If the entirety of your criticism is where they're from then it was never valid
What about prolific poster to mwog?
I am 100% confident that a prolific poster to mwog will provide you with something to criticize other than their participation in mwog
That's fair. At least a start to question what they say/investigate
It's definitely a red flag, yeah
I get your point but in the spirit of we all just don't have time in our lives, it can be similar to say .ml as a whole trends towards certain things. Even if it's a bad way to argue things. From the posts I've seen and the way the people agree on certain topics, .ml is showing red flags for being a type of generator for certain things that I saw in other places online.
.ml as a whole trends towards being right about a lot of things that supporters of the american empire don't want to hear, if you had coherent arguments against those things you wouldn't have to resort to gesturing vaguely in the direction of the instance
I would disagree. I would say they're passionate more than knowledge. They're also easily manipulated because of that passion. They are more similar to radicalized pockets that existed on the right pre 2016. They are the bending of the reed left as the_Donald was bending it right. The goal is to snap the reed.
Ok but you're clearly a dumbass so your opinions are worthless
I love how let's not let the wealthy take advantage of people and people should have Healthcare is pushing things left ๐๐ญ๐ญ
Where did I say that? Again you're all passion, not much else. Again similar to trumpets
Who said it was something you said?
The oc
So you do think those things are meant to bend left not are actually left positions?
Really aren't making any sense in this thread
I think it's similar to how immigration is maintained as a key target on the right. It's a right leaning issue. On the right the topic of immigration is made out to be a bigger issue than it is. Because it serves a purpose to pass new laws and actions that people normally wouldn't support.
You need to think about it for even a minute. The right have a lot of invested interest groups online. The left do not. There is a lot of money being used to push messages and ideas across the Internet. Lemmy isn't a tiny digital space. These groups that target Reddit are going to be here on lemmy. They don't target moderate Lemmy they go for the dumb radicals. The ones with more passion than brains. That is .ml
So these issues are left positions in the same way immigration concerns are a right leaning issue. But they're strategic left issues that when pushed serve the goals of the invested interest more than it helps the left. Places like .ml are being groomed to become the poison pill for the next election cycle. They're drip feeding them right now. It'll ratchet up over time.
