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

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

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?

[257m@sh.itjust.works]

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.

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

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?

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

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.

[apollosarrow@lemmy.world]

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.

[umbrella@lemmy.ml]

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.

[umbrella@lemmy.ml]

i tought that was lemmy.world

it resembles early reddit a lot.

[gbu_28@lemm.ee]

Imperialism isn't unique to right wing

[njm1314@lemmy.world]

No I don't agree with that at all. You see right-wing Concepts all the time if you know where to look for them. Anytime there's any discussion of protests? Comment section is militantly right-wing. Reddit gets hard that idea of running over and killing protesters. Anytime there's anything about criminal justice? Nothing a redditor loves more than the idea of locking people up and torturing them. And don't get me started on any video game subreddit.

[gbu_28@lemm.ee]

Pre 2016 reddit front page was not as you describe. I'm not saying it was perfect, I'm saying open conservative concepts were not prevalent or popular.

[chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz]

Wait. You want anti-corpo social media, but not anti-corpo discourse??

[kadup@lemmy.world]

with Democrats on the left

Do keep in mind the most left leaning democrat you can think of would be a center-right candidate in my country. It's unfortunate that indeed you can only work with what you got, but don't be surprised when others cringe at the thought of calling your democratic party leftist.

[noel_skum@sh.itjust.works]

If you think .world is non-normie left-of-centre (or whatever phrase you want to use) then you gonna be confused and surprised by what you’ll find on some of the other instances…

[mitm0@lemmy.world]

The girl will get yelled at even in Reddit

[njm1314@lemmy.world]

Strong disagree.
