I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of 'hitlerites'

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

      Using power to protect yourself is inherently right wing, you see. You can only be left wing by being nice to everyone, never alienating nazis, and dying meekly and obligingly when capital decides its time to bulldoze over you, so that decades later the liberals who hoped for your demise can pretend to have agreed with you all along.

      I would love to hear them explain what the fuck they think the Far Left™ looks like exactly

        It's the COINTELPRO party line. Farther left than you but also against supporting or helping anyone to the left of Liz Cheney.

        It's The Far Left among those who "are as left as they come," so of course they feel the need to defend The Brand from the actual far left.

        Well the X axis is piss, and I hope I need not spell out what the Y axis is...

        I tried to come up with a funny explanation but I deleted it because trying to establish something that even resembled internal coherence (a) wasn't funny and (b) wasn't possible.

          Going against consensus on a .world thread is a tricky thing if you want to actually be heard by anyone and not immediately shut out.

            Yeah, I realized that I don't have the temperament for it so I just save myself the frustration and hang out in the peanut gallery.

              Occasionally I manage to change someone's perspective and that generally makes it worth it, though I'm overdue for a break from the trenches.

                Getting out there and evangelizing is how we grow the movement; I just need to get back in the habit of meditating before I try.

                  The most success comes from the radicalized fringes of liberals. That's why I tend to stick more to Lemmy.ml when I try to lead libs to theory, anticommunists aren't going to be convinced anytime soon anyways
