Imagine your issue with .world being that it's too left-wing

[email protected]

It's detached from reality because you're just randomly chucking in some political terms you learned on reddit under an unrelated comment thinking it's some kind of slam-dunk.

There's communities I like on .world, so I just ban the most insufferable users and comms.

[email protected]

no, I just think that freedom is more important than defeating capitalism

I'd rather take my hrt, guns and free speech over a vanguard, sorry

also see how it has worked in russia, how the soviet union has defeated capitalism and how capitalist western germany was almost economically stronger than the entire ussr (including eastern germany)

[email protected]

if I had to choose I'd rather end all hirarchy

[email protected]

oh, yes I belive it is, why else is russia invading ukraine?

[email protected]

no, I know what a vanguard party is and that I don't support it, now we're arguing about why I don't support it

If by "diverse" you mean "has western conservatives", then considering how the entire concept of the fediverse is progressive, you're not going to find many of them here. On Reddit, there's r/AskPolitics which overall leans liberal and is US centric but is more open to discussion than other subreddits. There's some other debate subreddits as well which you might be interested in. They're helpful for developing political views, but after that hearing the same BS from people who have fundamentally different values gets tiring and people leave so that's why there aren't many of those spaces.

If you're open to viewpoints that are opposed to both Republican and Democrat, leftist instances like lemmy.ml, Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and dbzer0 have that, and they can have very different stances on other issues as well (i.e. Lemmygrad vs dbzer0). They can still be echo-chambery (which is hard to avoid) but they also tend to have more users that are interested in intellectual debate.

As far as what instance actually has the most diverse points of view, I'd say lemm.ee which federates with basically everybody and I've seen users there from all over the political spectrum. However, there's isn't much in terms of political discussion there compared to other instances.

Typical westerner living off the people of the global south's labor

Of course you dont want change with your fuck you got mine attitude

There's some peeps who claim they're anarchist on hexbear, but end up parroting the same ML-talking points about AES and often have similar toxic behaviour towards those who disagree with the groupthink. If any are there, they're basically campists, like the rest. For example of such campist anarchist takes, you can take a look at abolitionmedia. But ultimately these anarchists are pretty isolated from the larger anarchist movement.

I use a different account, banned from the exceptions, to lurk them.

Blahaj zone will ban you at the drop of a hat based on political belief.

I'd be getting bored if it was an echo chamber of any flavour.

As I've said in other comments, I'm here to learn and part of that means exposing myself to people that do not think alike to me. I'm not hear to circle jerk about how right we are, maybe that was fun then first few thousand times, it's just boring now.

Okay, so how are you doing that without a vanguard forming? Intentional or not, there will be differences in political knowledge and organizational skill. Do you formalize it? Let it form?

I don't think it makes any real sense to say that it's about returning to restore a Russian Empire's borders. From what we know, there has long been an antagonistic relationship between NATO and Russia, and this continued even after Socialism fell, because Russia eventually kicked out the Western Capitalists that bought up and privatized the former state industry. This was accelerated when Ukraine suffered from the Euromaidan coup, and the Russian-speaking areas of Donetsk and Luhansk broke away.

You were almost correct when you said it was to increase their sphere of influence, the goal of Russia is to either assure Ukraine's neutrality or demilitarize it completely, as NATO has been intentionally encircling Russia and threatening them into opening up and letting the Western Capitalists back in.

I think drawing a line between a vague notion of "freedom" and what existed in AES without doing any of the work to back that up makes little sense. Further, I think trying to say Western Germany, which was highly developed and already one of the most Imperialist countries on the planet at the turn of the 20th century was stronger economically than the USSR, which started the 20th century as a mostly undeveloped agrarian society just beginning Capitalism, is ridiculous.

That's like comparing someone who worked daily for what they accomplished for themselves with the Trust Fund kid who got a job at his father's investment firm.

Moreover, the USSR had constant and stable economic growth for its entire existence, and one of the highest rates of growth on the planet, while doing 80% of the combat in WWII and providing free education, healthcare, retirement, doubling life expectancies, and more.
