IDK about other people but it makes me feel sick to the stomach being federated with such content. I don’t really have any problems with Lemm.ee as a whole but I feel like having an uncritical Nazi salute on the network goes against everything Blahaj stands for.
I think we dont need conservative communities on lemmy, we can do without them
I think modern conservatism is a sign of deficient cognitive ability and lack of empathy, but I don’t think we should outright block them. That’s the sort of thing they advocate. If they’re celebrating a nazi salute, sure. Let’s get rid of them. But we should be better than they. Of course, this makes me sound like a lib when I’m actually a Leftist, but I’m just trying not to discriminate.
Rightwing people: you suck for delivering us this living hell.
maybe the key is forcing them to interact with regular people who don’t like them, idk. i’m old and tired and getting older and tireder by the day. just force them to face consequences for their bullshit over and over until they get it. make a shitty community? disband the community. make a shitty meme? remove the shitty meme. be a shitty person? ban the shitty person.
Best I can give you is resigned condescension.
dorks, all of them.
maybe the key is shooting them all to Mars.
i mean sure, i’m down
Yeah i’m staying down here on Earth as well.
As someone who used to be stuck in that I couldn’t agree more. It absolutely is a lack of empathy and cognitive ability, but also it persists because they think it’s cool and accepted. I know that’s why I followed it as long as I did. So I say block it. It doesn’t do anyone any good and the less people see it the less they’ll think its cool.
Alternative view points are good to have, don’t want a echo chamber. That said, being a Nazi, supporting them, or attacking trans, LQBTQ folks isn’t a difference of opinion ; it’s a fundamental flaw of the far right, treating humans as less than such. That is not an agreeable stance.
Honestly, modern conservatism is largely indistinguishable from Nazi-ism at this point anyway.
Modern conservatism is a cancer that deserves and needs to be squashed out. It has an outright dangerous and seductive quality to it. It took me years to get over it many people don’t ever get out of it.
So echo chamber argument isn’t a good one. If anything modern conservatism is itself an echo chamber, that squashes all opposing viewpoints.
