Censorship on Reddit is out of control. I just got perma banned on r/movies for using the word wokeness.
My post wasn't controversial or anything, it doesn't even have a negative rating. So they are just policing language.. it's ridiculous.
It's been like that for a long time in the popular subs. You can be extremely respectful and everything. Disagree with the hivemind, you get shadowbanned or banned.
Even on Lemmy there's a hard left slant. And not the fun progressives who just want to be free to believe what they believe alongside everyone else. The hardliners who don't even look at you as a human being unless you believe what they believe. They're the left wing equivalent of the fundamentalist religious folks on the right, but dare I say even more zealous in their belief that they follow the one true and perfect moral doctrine.
I grew up on the right. That pattern of intolerance is exactly why I course corrected into a left winger in my young adulthood. The left has become the same thing. They justify it as "intolerance to intolerance", but spend some time talking to them and you quickly realize it's the same old tribalism. They are intolerant of even the most basic and respectful disagreements. They can't even entertain the idea that they might be slightly wrong. That's how you know it's ideology, not an ongoing rational discourse.
...you need to be much more specific in what you mean here
Also, everything is part of an ideology. Even the status quo.
I don't think I'd say hard left, but probably left to some extent.
I'm actually kind of odd in that I can be hard left on some issues and hard right on others. In any case, when I make right hand comments they seem to be tolerated here. The hard left stuff I don't agree with I just gloss over, I'm good.
When you think you have escaped ideology, you are under the effects of ideology. Think of it as a glass lens that you wear in order to make sense of the world. You think you can just take it off and see the "real world" but when you take off the glasses you don't see anything anymore. All stimulus breaks down into meaninglessness. You need that lens in order to perceive and interact with the world.
I'm a leftist but I strongly believe in freedom of speech so I welcome all right wingers onto this platform. We can talk to each other and discuss and as long as people are being genuine in their attempt to make sense of things I think that's totally fine.
Although I 100% agree with you we are seeing the same neoliberal "left" which is really just a center right ideology (we drop bombs on you but the plane has a trans flag on it) that is so prevalent on reddit. There's a popular "politics" community that's starting to look identical to /r/politics
I'm starting to start either a) I'm a schizo or b) astroturfers have already caught on to this place
I'm not even conservative, just not liberal.. however I wouldn't be caught dead watching MSNBC
The people on the right don't go around telling people what they can or can't say. The people on the left try to cancel everyone. Take away people's livelihoods for very minor things that usually most people don't even think are bad or are at most in bad taste, and they don't mind taking things out of context either for the accusations. And the media prefers to take things out of context.
It's going to suck when youtube starts censoring everything more than it is already.
Oh yeah you're right about them not being able to think they could be wrong. That's why the trans in sports thing can't be conceded by them. Everyone with more than 2 brain cells knows it is unfair but if someone admits it is they think their arguments about everything else will collapse.
I also notice that people on the left cannot debate.. they simply devolve into personal accusations or imply things about the other person or hear one thing then extrapolate in a sinister direction and claim that is what the other person said and believes.
reality today is like one of those weird future alternate reality TV show episodes.
Imagine 15 years ago saying what the issues would be in 2023 and how people and corporations and universities behave using a list of how they actually behave now, and people would have thought you're either crazy or a comedian.
Really? I had hoped it would take longer for the bots/trolls to get here.
Unless they're in a school and want to talk about anything at all regarding LGBT+ or race topics.
I agree with the point that people can be rabid about their belief in hard left ideals. Isn't that like trying to terrorize people into a subscribed ideology? There's a word for that.
I mean I think it's fine for people to have differing opinions about social issues, but when they try to hurt people in any way they can because they don't agree, that's just wrong. My position on an issue can be changed through an intelligent argument, but attacking me is going to make me dig hooves into the turf.
