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 😂😭😭
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.
