Lemmy is populated by far left Americans who were banned from Reddit for extremism. Strict ideological conformity is required or youโ€™ll get actual death threats. Donโ€™t go there unless you want violent communist revolution and hate discussing interesting ideas.

Itโ€™s funny that the commentator is danish.

[โ€“] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

That's funny, I deleted my Reddit account after I'd gotten sick of it.

Why do they think communism is far left?

[โ€“] rikudou@lemmings.world -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because it is? If private ownership of everything is the capitalist goal, aka far right, then people owning everything is obviously its exact opposite, aka far left.

We're currently somewhere in the middle, leaning towards right. Some places further than others.

That's only one part of it. Right to protest, for example, is considered leftist, but it doesn't exist in communism. It's not black and white, but if I had to describe communism as left or right, definitely right due to social freedoms. I'm glad I'm not obligated to take a pregnancy test before getting a job and I don't think that counts as a leftist idea at all.

Death threats

Hmmm

They got the sauce for these?

[โ€“] veroxii@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They probably think people telling them to piss off when they post something stupid is a threat.

[โ€“] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 months ago

A lot of eggshells on social media haha

[โ€“] Robotsandstuff@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Not clear to me whether it's saying the death threats come from lemmy or from reddit.

[โ€“] mattc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of how people say they don't wanna come to Australia, because there are too many spiders. I mean, sure, they're everywhere, but the weather's nice.

[โ€“] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Isn't the username of the person literally "Heil Hitler"?

[โ€“] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I would not worry so much about the one guy. But do tell them they are wrong.
