This is bullshit
Trying to pretend that there's a concerted far-left effort to create civil war in 'Murica is patently absurd
Sure, there may be a handful of nutters, but they pale in comparison to the number of far-right who are actively lusting for the blood of the people they hate and fear

When I have centrist views about anything (not just politics but more trivial matters like pop culture), I'm reluctant to share them online because extremists on both sides interpret you as an extremist on the opposing side

wrote last edited by [email protected]It also tries to downplay political division "in real life". In real life, the American president is a fascist serial-rapist pedophile directing a masked police force to deport legal residents without due process, illegally deploying the national guard against citizens, and grifting shitcoins and accepting bribes in plain sight.

Yeah fuck this post. The only ones driving it are the far-right. You'd have to be ignorant to be blaming liberals for the crap going on today.

The enlightened centrism is strong in this one. No, the US don't have a conflict of left vs. right. The conflict is between the right and everyone else. And most of the right are just rubes who think they being part of some kind of movement but in reality are just being fleeced by a bunch of grifters

This can be attributed to a method of gaining and maintaining political power called divide and conquer. Poisoning the discourse with targeted manipulation in (social) media, while treating politics as kind of bizarre and grievous reality TV show, where everyone is trying to throw the biggest pile of verbal shit on the other.

Uh... fucking cope hard. The Nazis won't care about your enlightened centrism when they arrest you for being brown and/or the wrong kind of white.

Idk man, I spent altogether too much time over in .ml, and now my view on what is "far left" has changed quite drastically. And that group certainly seems hell bent on starting a civil war.
There are absolutely far more MAGAs, but the tankies are, unfortunately, still far left.

Double entendre.

If you think lemmy is immune to outside agitators, then you're kidding yourself
I'm certain that there are interested groups trying to whip up a few lunatics so that "the left" can be pitted against the right, and blamed for violence, but there's no doubt that there's a far larger audience of people in the US who are eager to lean into fascism and spill blood when they are encouraged

That's still an oversimplification. In reality political opinion varies across a spectrum; it's not just hard left, hard right, or no opinion. My own views for example are a little left of centre with a leaning towards liberty (i.e. away from authoritarian). So of course I get called a nazi by the hard left, and a tankie by the hard right, both of which are utter nonsense.

I'd say the curve it's much flatter on the left side. As in right side is shouting tankie, meanwhile there are like 2 tankies and the right wants to set the whole barn on fire to get them both.
