…this is the crux of it: until we confront the disinformation sphere authoritatively, the problem will persist, and crossing that line is antithetical to the american identity…
…i fear that the american identity must immolate itself, one way or the other…
It is sad to me that Lemmy has been taken over by people calling others fascist. I think from a moderation perspective any highly political content should be removed immediately unless it is in the proper community. I’m tied of see comment after comment talking about how everyone and there dog is a fascist and other related rhetoric. It is ultimately easier to name call than it is to actually show empathy to someone you absolutely disagree with. I like to read other peoples options but the problem is that many here have turned a option into fact. Asking why they feel some way just pisses people off and makes them defensive instead of generating good discussions. Words like “fascism” ultimately serve the interests of those in power not individuals. It is used as a tool to get people emotionally engaged instead of mentally engaged. Emotional people are much easier to control and influence.
In short, I’m saddened to see Lemmy be taken over by useless political circle jerking. None of it does anything useful other than scare off new Lemmy users.
This is it, possiblylinux. That’s the SS. We have the gestapo. There is no more “fiscal conservative.” There is no more “classical libertarian.” We are nazis now.
You can either be a classical american war hero and strongly oppose this, or you can be a nazi. Those are your options. I’m not saying this euphemistically. I’m not saying it as a metaphor. I’m not exaggerating for dramatic effect.
If you do not live in the US currently, and you do not want to be relocated to Guantanamo Bay or El Salvador, then you should not come here.
I also think it hasn’t helped that the news as become more of a propaganda outlet. They probably live in a bubble.

ICE agents under the republican-elected Donald Trump’s republican administration arrested the wrong brown person, and after realizing this, said “take him anyway.”
