(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

    Strawman meme.

    In reality you can agree with someone on a topic but disagree on the execution, and you’ll get called a fascist along with a bunch of personal attacks on your intelligence. Trump has infected everyone, even the left who now have become toxic as well. No ally is good enough, no leftist is leftist enough, and anyone even slightly to the right or even left of you is a “fascist”. This is very much an American problem, and I guess it makes sense how it happened, and they can’t see it from the inside, like us outside of the u.s can

      I agree with your comment except for this being an American only problem. It seems lefties the world over are arguing amongst themselves over minutia. I was threatened to be “skinned alive” and called a “western chauvinist” on hexbear for saying China is a mixed economy 😂

            You’re a prime example of the problem people here on Lemmy. No respect, no empathy, just vitriol and hate with a leftist twist. There’s plenty of right wingers but I ignore them so I have noticed the toxicity rise on the left in the last couple of years. Toxic , if you have nothing to contribute, no solutions to put forward, only throwing shade at anyone to feel big. The other side of the coin to the current American political climate, you’re not the good guy. Try talking to people and not getting angry, try realizing that your opinions worth isn’t determined by how loud and insulting you are.

            If you have all the political leanings of Bernie sanders, but the personality and need to shit on everyone like trump, you’re still shit, even if I’m still glad to have you on my side. If you’re liberal, Democrat, communist, socialist, whatever just keep up the fight, but the fight is over there.

              You’re the one who’s ranting. I made one sarcastic comment on your rant, and now you’ve followed it up with another rant. The vitriol and hate is coming from you.
