Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

Yeah, I told a guy today his hate of communism was totally his own prerogative, but he might want to put it aside to make a unified front against the impending Reddit changes. He flipped out on me and called me some choice words. Just another day on Reddit I guess.

You gotta define what the hell you mean when you say "communism" before I can tell you if I hate it or not. The word has essentially no meaning in American political conversation.

Yeah, depending on your definition of the word, many literal communists would agree that (your idea of) communism sucks.

The tough reality is that most major communist ideologies actually have irreconcilably different definitions of communism. Every definition will suck in some context. The "stateless, moneyless, classless society" is merely an attempt at finding the common traits, which doesn't quite get the full picture.

Well, you'd need to ask the guy on reddit, but I blocked him because he was foaming at the mouth at how much he hated lemmy and it's commie developers, I guess.
