Hello! I’ve been searching for a reddit alternative, and yes, I’ve picked Lemmy and Raddle, but here’s the thing. My morbid curiosity is perked up, and a part of me wants to join the “free speech” alternatives, like Saidit, Poal, etc. What’s wrong with me that I want to join toxic places? I mean, yes I’ll find a whole new perspective (albeit wrong), on political topics, but a part of me wants to be the antagonist, and post lefty memes, and music with a left-leaning message (bands from r/rabm) I know that’s like kicking the hornet’s nest, so you don’t need to start in with “that’s a bad idea” I know it is. My main point/question is, is it wrong to join a site with potential hate speech? Does it make someone a bad person?
The word implies an unhealthy and incorrect degree. Otherwise you’re not radicalized, just representing an opinion.
the word radical means “from or going to a root or source.”
it simply implies wanting to deal with the root cause of issues. the word you are looking for is probably “extremism”
Not necessarily, it implies conviction and separation from the norm.
radical means arising from or going for the root.
it implies fixing things at the perceived root cause, the word you are actually looking for here is probably “extremism”
