Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Not just Christian..

At this fucking point in history it’s damn obvious that any religion is a ticking bomb of cult nonsense that doesn’t belong in this reality.

The extremism is going to continue as the cults get more desperate to maintain control and power over people.

I mean, that's not a fair take. People forget quickly, but some of the leaders of the LGBTQ rights movement were churches, and that homophobia is a traditional issue coincidentally spread through religion, not a religious issue. The Unitarian Universalists have never been anything but a force for good.

There are religions that have never approached being "cult nonsense".

There are religions that have never had a systemic problem with extremism.

There's plenty of secular cult nonsense.

There's plenty of secular group extremism.

Why don't we just "hate what's bad" and "embrace what's good"? There's no paradox of tolerance when the target is being tolerant. There's only being a jerk.

No, no... don't interrupt leftists if they are so desperate to shoot leftism in the foot yet again with their garbage and irrelevant edgelord atheism - after all, we really don't want radical politics being preached in churches, mosques and temples... you know, the only way radical politics has of ever coming to the forefront again.

As a Leftist, I think our national pasttime is shooting ourselves in the feet. Maybe we should let those neocons teach us how to shoot....... (yes, sarcasm as well)
