Lemmy’s defense of Hamas/Hezbollah is unreal sometimes. I made a joke about terrorists getting their dicks blown off by a pager and was perma-banned for “endorsing the killing of children”
The hell ya taking about? Liberals are center, they go along with anybody as long as you “compromise”. I personally find it hilarious that both the right and left complain about liberals being in bed with the other side.
And tankies aren’t really left for the same reason nazis (national SOCIALIST) aren’t really left. Wonder how it came to be that nazis are the face of extreme right and tankies are the face of extreme left, despite them both being totalitarian fascists. In Germany the nazis were literally stealing the communist vote, they’re building on the same appeal. The idealogy of “we’re more deserving of life, because…” doesn’t really care about the because part. Left/right politics are irrelevant in the face of totality.
Is it though? Seems like there’s a lot of support for religious zealots (Iran & proxies) and imperialist authoritarians (Russia). Seems pretty auth-right.
My understanding is that socialists, anarchists, and others that might be considered “the left”, tend to love democracy. They love it so much they want to see it spread from government into the workplace. Governments that operate according to democratic republican* principals are not the enemy of the left - they’re part of it.
*note the lower case letters - not talking about political parties, but representative democracy as a philosophy
The amount of people crying for this guys death is unbelievable

Its because Lemmy is far left. Either liberal or in some cases full on tankie

A lot of that, I think, is because they share hate for western governments. Enemy of my enemy, I guess?
I’m not sure who “they” is in your comment?
