I agree with everything here. Do I need to move to a different instance?
No, this is the democratic far left wishlist, which I think is core lemmy. Good luck getting it done. Once you step over that line, you may want to find another instance.
lemmy.world is not far left by any stretch of the imagination
Not far left, democratic far left. I’m no talking about leftist, I’m just talking about the lib left.
Don't bother with this whoreticulture account, they are just on here to pretend to be trans and then they behave like an ass to try to get people to dislike trans people or something. I know it's stupid, but you can take a look at their account history to see what they are doing. It's no wonder it's a new account, I imagine they are doing this a lot. I'm working on a little script that just auto-warns people about them.
Far left.. Ahahaha.
Capitalism has really done a number on these poor Americans, the right wing have managed to push the compass so far in their favour that even a lot of the most basic items in this list are considered "far left" to them.
One prime example of the extremes of propaganda within the US has to be the mass opposition towards unions (which has thankfully began to ease in recent years.) I could never comprehend why so many people would argue against having a union to protect their own rights as workers. it was bizarre to me.
No offence to any Americans that read this. But I've done my fair share of arguing for you over the years, and some of the opposition I have come up against is just completely bewildering. Almost like some sort of capitalist Stockholm syndrome.
That infused with the idea that anything that isn’t capitalism is socialism (which might as well be communism). It’s like we’re afraid to leave our abusive financial system.
You are, and that's by design, as the core of your country from the education right down to the media and pop culture, all revolve around the financial system, designed to keep the wealth in the pockets of the few while everyone else argues over the same pointless and divisive issues that are pushed every single day. It happens in most countries, but the US is the best example due to how transparent it all is.
Thanks for writing this up, but you don’t have to convince me. 😋
