        Who is “we” ? If it’s a bunch of American dickheads who have turned this place into a ghost town then fuck off, you’re driving people back to reddit

          Normal people, who like politics. We like to watch political movies like Star Wars and read political books like A Song of Ice and Fire. We’re the majority in every country and every culture.

            You must be confused, Lemmy is for the most part dead, you don’t represent most people, you represent a tiny group of leftwing progressives who put weird shit like

            Goddess of madness and rebirth. Excrucian Strategist. Capitalised They/Them. Anarcho-Antireal theorist.

            In their profiles.

            You’re not most people so don’t even think of responding on behalf of them.

            Most people went back to reddit after realising this place was full of left wing weirdos

              Well I think you’ll find that in addition to politics, most people like progress. They want society to become better over time. Better technology, better culture, better art, better governance. Most people are progressives, at least in theory. Now, most of them don’t act like they like progress, and they don’t act like they like politics either, but they do. And if you can avoid triggering any thought terminating cliches and speak to them logically in language they understand, they’ll tell you that they support socialism, environmentalism, queer rights, racial and gender equality, voting reform, and many other left wing policies. The trouble is just that they don’t want to put any thought or effort into how society is going to achieve that. But they like it in theory.

      i’m genuinely sorry if this post darkened your day, I don’t like upsetting people unnecessarily and I totally understand that it can be exhausting, but for me, it’s not just politics, there is a solid chunk of the world who want me to suffer and die, and I need to do everything in my power to try and build momentum to remove those people from power.

      much love & solidarity to you

        You must be confused, posting in a shitpost community on lemmy of all places is literally doing fuck all, you’re not reaching out to anyone, all you’re doing is getting upvotes from the echo chamber

        There’s someone on facebook right now posting in the take back america group that transgender lefties are gay and retarded and getting the same upvotes, it means nothing, you’re not changing anyones mind

        to be 100% clear nobody around here is right wing or conservative, you’ve chased them all away and you even scare most centre right and centre people as well

        you know how trump has this method of madness called flooding the zone? you guys have this thing of flooding the lemmy, doesn’t matter if I’m in pics for non-political pictures of things, memes for non-political memes, or even a damn gardening comm, somehow you always end up posting about american politics and a lot of us are sick of it

              you know you can just make your own community that bans political posts, or indeed, anything you don’t like, right?

                Hey! Yes if you look at my profile you’ll see I’ve done just this for some comms of mine. You can click on my name to see my profile.

                However I have no interest in creating a second Lemmy Shitpost purely to stop rabid Anti-Americanisms, maybe one day but not today.

                Many of us would just prefer it if you could take a fuckin hint and stop spamming anti-American shit all over the place.

                Hope your day is going great and you can consider others when you throw your litter on the ground instead of telling them to go make another planet :)

                  Hey friend it’s a lot easier to not be shitty when someone disagrees with you, than to triple down on being shitty. Also: this comic doesn’t even mention America, you added it yourself

                  You’re being very normal about this.

                  Go touch a spider or whatever you Australians do instead of touching grass

      the left is the side that fights the elite. centrists and right-wingers serve the elite. just so you know. capitalism is the system by which the elite maintain their domination.

      Your enlightened centrism and unequivocal both-sides-ism serves nothing, except maybe the elite because of your inaction. You’ve got some research to do if you believe anything right of center is designed to benefit the working class. Pick a side or gtfo of the way.
