Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

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.

This is the kind of dumb trash that makes me apolitical. Just like being athiest, I think having extreme beliefs that privileges abstract ideologies over real humanity activitely makes people less empathetic and more dangerous.

The breadth of the human experience is so much bigger than the desparate shouts of politicians and their distracted followers.

Even if communism in its platonic form is closer to a humane government system than capitalism, I still don't want to be constantly exposed to it.

Why, because political discussions are more concerned with complaining about a flawed system - AKA a flawed group of people erroneously granted too much power - than it is actually about solving problems.

I think Lemmy is too political, but still joined a long time ago. Things can improve with time. We're seeing this happen now.

Would Lemmy embrace or allow /r/2ALiberals ? This is a topic I’ve been curious about.

There already is one, it's just that nobody posts there atm. !guns and lemmygrad!firearms.

!guns@midwest.social welcomes you although we're more of a leftist instance than liberal.

If someone wanted to do that they could spin up a server or find a friendly server and create the community. So definitely allowed.

I can't really speak to whether it would be embraced because I'm too new to know, but assuming a critical mass of people move here I would assume so.
