Not a wild take at all. I'd bet money the guy you're replying to thinks America's evil is unique to it alone.
In reality, evil is just part of the human condition.
I've only been here a couple days, but from what I've seen so far, lemmy is significantly more left wing than reddit at large (which is really saying something), and I've seen basically zero pushback on that.
Obviously we don't want to encourage extremist right wingers to come in and trash the place, but it also wouldn't hurt to have some more mainstream appeal.
I may be too dumb for web development, but I'm just smart enough to explain it to the other dummies.
