Lemmy is worse for political discussion than Reddit has ever been. At least Reddit has had the numbers for people to call out extreme views on either side, but the number of absolute nutjobs on here that either call for the downfall of capitalism immediately, or to let right-wing thinking slide as a natural progression of politics today. They're the sort of people that post memes about murdering Nazis in the streets, but would cower at the sight of one - or those that would happily march if they weren't so fucking awkward.
Some of us just want to enjoy the memes.
Imagine unironically comparing wanting the end of capitalism to fascism
The way of it's end matters.
Anyone here calling for collapse is indulging in fantastical or privileged collapse fantasy. Hoping that from chaos, their preferred brand will come out on top
Ha, this reminds me of a scene from the movie Miss Sloane where they easily discredit some politician on their left by hiring some shmuck to go stand in the background of their speech with a 'abolish money' banner
A lot of the Hexbears genuininely seem to be under the impression that escaping the horrors of capitalism to be freed from wage-slavery would mean that they'll finally have the time for "self-healing and growing their own food" which sparked a funny comment from another lemming that it exposed their fantasy that under communism they'd have a job gardening as opposed to farming
