There’s clearly a lean to the left side of things in Lemmy instances, with many people attacking people at the right.

In some cases regarding the climate crisis, there’s people blaming it on capitalism while hinting that communism/socialism are the solution to the climate crisis, because somehow having the state controlling the entire economy will lead to stop CO2 emissions.

A bit from the article:

The best way to protect the environment is to get rich. That way, there is enough money not only to meet the needs of ordinary people, but also to pay for cleaner power plants and better water-treatment facilities. Since capitalism is the best way to create wealth, humanity should stick with it.

Not the first time I’ve heard about this concept, and the more i look into the world the more I agree with it. Being green is kind of a luxury that not many people can afford, and the poorer people are the less they can afford green technology.

      It literally is related to socialism. Ffs, I feel like I’m talking to a brick wall. You’re offering nothing of value to counter with other than “no.” I can’t tell if you’re even serious or just trolling now. What is wrong with your ability to communicate?

      Those are literally socialistic services. They’d be enacted the same way in socialism. You understand one little bit of socialism and you’re grasping on it with white-knuckles hands and closing your eyes chanting “I can’t hear anything else.”

      It’s tiring. I’m done trying to discuss with you. You’re as aggravating as a cavity and as amusing as the appointment to fill the aforementioned cavity. There’s nothing of value in talking to you.
