  • How valid is the claim that people coming or going to blue sky/mastodon/X/Truth Social will cause echo chambers to increase? is it bad?

  • yup. Lemmy.world!

  • Why did communism always turn into a kind of dictatorship?

  • Someone please correct me if I am misunderstaning or mischaracterizing this ideology:

    From my limited understanding (because enthusiastic support for mass executions of anti-communists caused me to totally abandon it as a viable ideology) Lenin posited that it was necessary to violently rid the world of capitalist tendencies by force in order to protect the slow transition to the collectivist utopia he envisioned. This is my biggest problem with Marxism....or perhaps the brand of Marxism that has been adopted.

    My background: I consider myself a libertarian socialist at the moment. I wholeheartedly agree that capitalism will kill our planet but I am not willing to support an autoritarian regime that promises to execute or imprison its critics for life (which both the US and China do ALL THE TIME). From my limited understanding, Marx didn't start there but was "radicalized" into firmly believing that the only way to get capitalists to go along with his plan is to eliminate them from society. The authoritarian behaviour reportedly came about from a very real need to prevent capitalists from meddling in order to protect their consumer ideology throughout the world.

    If I am wrong, the people on hexbear have also misunderstood it. They believe that the only way to the utopia they want is through China's authoritarian methods. Their support for China is about as pervasive there as lemmy.world's support for DLC style neoliberal globalism.

  • If you stray from world, things are a bit better. World, however, hasn’t seen a ban or anti-free speech action they didn’t embrace fully. World is a cesspool of smug libs that refuse to engage with anyone they perceive to be on their left or right.

  • It’s a valid claim, IMO. The libs leaving Twitter all seem to be VERY into Orwellian practices like “official block lists” and other absurd self-owns.

  • Yeah that’s true. Still, it’s an ad.

    What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?

  • World admins tend to engage in censorship, blocking, and banning of ANY viewpoints that don’t support their compromised world views.

    They aren’t even aware that they are enthusiastic supporters of actual fascists because those fascists have figured out how to manipulate their actions using identity politics and fearmongering.

  • Do you think I’m not? It’s funny to hear partisan hacks. They don’t know how to defend themselves. They just default to calling someone a Trumper. I’m not a Trumper. Do you have any thing valid to say other than telling that I shouldn’t hold my elected officials (no matter their party) to their words and carefully vetting their alliances? Do you buy into identity politics so heavily that you refuse to research your demagogues? If so, grow up!

  • I’m not the one appearing in the comment section to excuse a congresswoman that was groomed in an American Idol style talent search and has shown all the signs of someone being primed for the highest office EXACTLY like Obama was.

    She’ll bravely grandstand against Trump throughout his presidency. Then, she’ll be the next President. Just watch.

    Shall we get the remindMebot in here to let time tell us who was right in 5 years?
