What is marvellous about stupidity and shady morals is that they’re not exclusive to one political colour.
I guess you might be from the US : talking as there is just “the” left and “the” right without nuances and censoring words. I believe it’s something cultural.
Well, Nazi existed before the internet and would exist without it. They didn’t wait for the internet to enable themselves. There can’t be zero downside for having a 100% free platform, I do agree.
Yeah but Nazism spread via propaganda, which is what dogwhistling is a form of.
The Internet is the largest spreader of propaganda that humanity has ever seen, so it’s not surprising that it helped revitalize neo-nazism and fascism is general. It also served to make satire and actual radicalized behavior harder to detect. A lot of the time, 4chan boards use this “edgy satire” format to normalize the behavior (to an extent). See: the “MAP” misinformation campaign they did and how it reinforced actual pedophilia and demonized LGBT groups
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.
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…
Tbh this is what I love with (uncensored) internet. It’s hard to draw the line between sarcasm and mental illness.
Wrong. /b/ was never good.
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.

Whoa, did I touch a nerve?
Not at all, why ?
Your post just kind of read as a bit hysterical tbh.
Reading myself again, I agree, it sounds way more sarcastic than intended.
I edited it to focus in the content
The way it was and should be tbh
I know. Its beautyfull.
Yeah but also it enables stuff like Nazi dogwhistling soooo lmao

Are you completely oblivious to the rise of right wing ideology the last 10-15+ years? The internet has 100% enabled it.

“Both sides”
-_-
Also anarchists are pretty opposed to Marxism-Leninism, not communism in general.
