Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy?

Americans do not get their own definition for philosophies.

I seriously doubt most normies would enjoy Lemmy. But sh.itjust.works seems pretty middle of the road.

It's the same in most countries. In Canada, we put the NDP on the Left, Liberals generally centre Left, Conservatives on the Right and the Bloc... well, they do Bloc things.

Similar set up in most places. In common conversation, Left Right mean a standard political spectrum.

If I said I went to work, have I redefined Newtonian physics?

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I just love the idea of non corpo social media but to get the network effects to scale we need the normies...!

I dunno... I admittedly live in a fairly liberal city in Canada but in casual conversation with all sorts of folks (I play soccer on 4 teams so have a pretty wild cross section of friends) I've heard lots of grumbles. Heck, a couple songs ago a random Tidal playlist song was groussing about the algorithms.

Even reddit had a bunch of grumbles and complaints and people looking for alternatives though I admittedly rarely look there anymore.

No, it isn't. Unless you are Eurocentric and ignore most nationsliberalism is where the left starts though liberalism isn't "leftist". The right is authoritarianism. This is true all around the world.

Those were definitely words!

Can you give a couple examples of countries where the major left party/parties is/are anti capitalist?

[email protected]

Imagine that, someone using words as most people use them! Wild!

Like, do you write to all newspapers when they talk about the Left Right divide and complain that the Dems aren't Left because they don't want to destroy capitalism?

What a weird existence you must have, almost all popular discourse just goes right over your head or what?

You think I should be open to fascism? Fuck off buddy

Is hating for profit healthcare a leftist ideology?

[email protected]

I don't think you understand leftism. Economic leftism (Socialism, Marxism, Communism) is inherently anti capitalist. The social spectrum of left and right is pointless. I am not necessarily a Liberal but I would define myself as a leftist. I do not consider liberals to be inherently leftists.

Like I've said repeatedly, in the popular context and most common words used by people, Left wing has different definition.

To re-use the example above, if I said I went to work, have I redefined Newtonian physics? Or would you understand that work has different meanings depending on context?

[email protected]

You take the notion of asking for a mainstream instance to mean that people are asking you to be open to fascism...

That's impressively silly kid.

It's good!

Authoritarian is up on the poltical compass, not right, although its often left since it often requires a powerful state.

As you’ve seen from other comments the short answer is that it doesn’t exist. Honestly the most civilized place I’ve come across is on Tildes, which is not federated and an even smaller community. But it has the charm of earlier reddit days where people actually liked speaking with one another.

yes you would. you would see straight up imperialism apologia which is ok to their democrat audience i guess.

fuck i remember a post on r/arab getting nuked from the frontpage without a trace when they posted a video of the us bombings in iraq. a few similar ones but this is the one of the worst i remember.
