The wrong kind of Leftist ruined Leftism, not the right kind.

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft

It’s funny because Lemmygrad, .ml and hexbear are almost indistinguishable from truth social of outside of plain text

The problem is that a lot of people, specially Americans, have interiorized "red scare" propaganda notions, even when they see themselves as Lefties.

If you don't just mentally go "uuh, commies" at the mere wiff of communal solutions it's a lot easier to actually look at certain ideas and judge them on their actual pros and cons, as is spotting authoritarianism for what it is (whether it claims to want to implement leftwing notions or rightwing ones) and tribalism (of the kind that supports Fascism whilst claiming to be leftwing, and I include both Putin supporting "communists" and Zionism supporting "liberals")

I don't incessantly complain, but my Lemmy experience had improved massively by banning the most notorious instances.
