It's why I'm sharing this. But what gets me is where can we actually share this. Am I crazy or is there no real place something like this can get noticed? Where would you post it that wouldn't get taken down by mods

Exactly this.
In my experience the left are resting on they laurels. But in my day to day, people on the right are just now obsessive with current events. People i met on the left are just way more disengaged. They'll react to things but they're not doing deep dives like they did in the past. People who want to argue against this should go to any public site where those lines are clear and check out the left leaning conversations vs the right. It's almost always the right leaning places have much more details and points and opinions whereas the left leaning places are all just insults and saying how upset a commenter.
Hey I saw a thread that mentions what i was talking about with mods and I thought about this comment. I tried it out on web and it works. I looked over some removed comments and to me it all looks like mod abuse. That's my opinion. But thanks for letting me know about it regardless.
So many removals
I'm starting to think there are bots that run on just being contrary to whatever we write. For every comment I see now, there's one that goes against it in the most absurd way possible. Divide and conquer
American Business has bought in. Here is Hilton hotels distancing themselves from one of their hotels that turned away ICE agents.
It's always interesting to watch these things unfold. I feel like unfortunately the right and MAGA always seem more informed about this stuff. The left leaning spaces had a weird lag where they didn't realize Venezuelans didn't like Maduro. The left seems like it just reacts whereas the right are proactive lately
Oh look, another day, another win by the right. Here is Hilton making a statement because one of their hotels refused service to ICE.
So tell me again when something like this resulted in a win by the left. When has the left stood up and turned the tide on something like this in any meaningful way.
The fact that you're pissed at me for pointing this out is the fucking problem.
Don't roll with pigs it'll only get you both dirty
Hey I'm just updating here. I said this sarcastically guys. You're not suppose to upvote this. It's a shameful cowardly wimpiest comment anyone could ever write. You're a huge POS if you ever wrote this honestly. Roll with pigs, fuck them up. Especially if they're nazis. You don't turn a blind eye just because your delicate sensibilities are offended or because you think you're just to important to bother. Don't leave it to other people to handle. You handle it. Put your fucking big boy/girl pants on and stop running away from these problems. Stop giving digital spaces to nazis.
Prove me wrong. The left has been in decline for over a decade. It's full of people like you who are ineffective, uninformed and have zero self awareness. You all think you're right but really you're just circling the drain. And I'm not saying this to be mean like you're attempting. I genuinely mean that the left have not been able to counter anything the right has done and it shows when someone like you can't even muster a decent response. Anything you don't like is propaganda or Russia just like anything they don't like is fraud or woke.
You all can keep believing the right wing and MAGA are dumb. For sure within that group are some of the most brain dead followers you'll find. But they at least have effective people steering them towards their goals. The left showed up in streets with millions and still couldn't change or accomplish what the MAGA did with bullshit memes. The left need to wake the fuck up and or distance itself from the current base because that core group are the reason it's failing.
Yea, you're super smart. Special guy. You're so special and smart.
Yea but to do that you need decent channels to coordinate and you all deleted all your accounts and the network you built with it. It would take 10 years just to recreate it.
Let's just go back to hyper focusing on AI slop
You're out of line. You ignored entirely what I was asking for by using universal Healthcare as an example. This is exactly what my issue is. The left are resting on it's own laurels while failing horribly. This generation of leftist are the most ineffective in it's history. GDPR is a good example but it has no bearing here when you compare to things like
- Trumps double victory reshaping conservative politics globally
- Conservative capture of the Supreme Court of the United States.
- Overturning Roe v. Wade
- Long-term judicial appointments in the US locking in conservative influence for decades
- Brexit
- Normalization of nationalist politics in all countries.
- Sustained rule by right-wing governments in Hungary under Viktor Orbán
- Election of Giorgia Meloni in Italy and mainstreaming of post-fascist right politics
- Modi
- Influence of Jair Bolsonaro
- Immigration framed globally as a security and cultural where the left has lost the cultural view in the general public as it being good or humanitarian.
- Normalization of border enforcement and deportation rhetoric across Europe and North America
- Everything with ICE. From it's budget to expansion of its power. This will likely be replicated globally.
- Globally reframing anything left as “wokeness”
- Gender identity, trans issues, and school curriculum to the point that teachers are burnt out if they even dare put up a rainbow.
- Successful positioning of parental rights as a core political issue
- Push towards privatization of education while gutting public education.
- Expansion and dominance of right-leaning alternative media, podcasts, and YouTube political commentary Post-2022 realignment of Twitter favoring right-leaning narratives and influencers.
- Wealthy right wing or libertarian leaders buying up all media or suing media into submission.
- Higher engagement and reach of right-wing messaging among young men
- Expanding “country first” rhetoric and other nationalistic views
- Skepticism of global institutions (UN, WHO, EU) becoming mainstream positions
- Globalization blamed for everything
- Gutting climate policy
- Taxation reframed as punishment rather than public investment
- Regulation framed as elitist overreach or flat or fraud
- Cohesive right-wing coalitions prioritizing power over ideological purity
- bombing fishing boats in Venezuela
- Isreal
So no GDPR is not it.
Just an example of what I mean. This is now already at disseminated in multiple right leaning channels and news sources. How many reading this even had this on their radar. Sure there's misinformation. But also think what information is here and what needs to be researched. Is this mentioned anywhere here in lemmy? Because on the right this is already locked in.
This is the cost of not wrestling with pigs. If the left wants to get anything back they need to stay ahead of this stuff instead of reacting.
