Just check their comment history for like 30 seconds. Everyone makes a joke that misses the mark every now and then, but the shittiest people usually constantly spew their nonsense.
Or just don’t look at people’s post history you creep?
This is an excellent way to get everyone looking at your comment/post history. You played yourself.
Most of your comments have negative points. I wouldn’t value anything you have to say.
That’s why they are against reading other users’ post history.
Lmao
The problem is the red ones take the orange ones seriously. Please don’t feed the trolls.
The shit posters drive a wedge in a community and the people who don’t like the “innocent” jokes leave. This makes fertile ground for ideological take over. Rinse and repeat in Fandoms, subreddits, message boards, etc.
Alternatively, the people who are so brittle that shit-posting causes them to somehow turn on half of the community were always going to volatile puritans.
What? Maybe some people join communities for fun and togetherness. Not amateur hour jew jokes or whatever.
I agree. But the discussion was shit-posting, not racist jokes, or am I missing something?
A careful read of the meme shows were talking about edgy, borderline right wing shit postings.
Tbh this is what I love with (uncensored) internet. It’s hard to draw the line between sarcasm and mental illness.
Right wingers aren’t mentally ill theyre just wrong and have reprehensible morals.
Please stop using mentally ill as an insult. Fascists love that, see R word, calling people autistic or schizophrenic as an insult, etc.
Yeah but also it enables stuff like Nazi dogwhistling soooo lmao
Nah. Your definition of a Nazi is just anyone right of Mao. This place seems to be where the tankies went after getting banned from Reddit for encouraging violence toward people who don’t want to slob on government’s massive boot.
Are your reading your own comments before posting?
Lemmy seems to be more middle-left with just a few vocal extremists on both sides, actually. If anything the largest ‘extreme’ group i’ve seen here is anarchists, kind of the opposite of communists lol.
And the groups that do turn into a bunch of ‘tankies’ (slowly stares at Lemmygrad) have been defedrated across almost the entire fediverse…
“Both sides”
-_-
Also anarchists are pretty opposed to Marxism-Leninism, not communism in general.
There is such a thing as a “non-extremist” right-winger?
Yes, Joe Biden.

Both words, “extremist” and “right-wing”, have no real hard definitions.
No, right-wing ideology has a very hard and clear-cut definition - all politics that protects power and privilege. It really doesn’t get any simpler than that.
Is being socially conservative right wing?
It’s not supposed to be… but the only people self-applying the term in the US are fascists.
Is supporting capitalism right wing?
Yes. Period.
anti-racist and pro-trans left wing?
That’s not progressive - that’s radicalism.
Is socialism left wing? Is only communism left wing?
Yes.
Is someone an extremist if they condone violence?
No.
Is someone an extremist if they seek to change the system fundamentally?
No, that’s radicalism.
Is someone an extremist if their political beliefs are very strongly held, no matter what they might be?
No.
Incredibly, Reddit was better in that aspect.
“Okay time to look at their post history” “hmm nothing bad… pretty alrigh- oh they’re a communist”
