It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.
I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.
thats weird. i never get called a fascist, and nobody i know gets called fascists, and i’ve never had to worry about other people calling me a fascist when i disagree with them. huh…
It’s fascinating how this very comment underlines my point. Label misuse does nothing but create barriers to productive dialogue. If I’ve been branded a fascist or a nazi (as I already have been), why should anyone lend an ear to what I have to say? It’s a shortcut to dismiss others, rather than engaging in critical thinking. Today, I’m being dismissed as a nazi. Tomorrow, could it be you being dismissed as a tankie? This kind of groupthink destroys our ability to understand, empathize, and communicate effectively.
Dude… almost every comment you’ve made has been to insult someone or put them down or pick a fight with someone. Are you okay?
I don’t believe I’ve insulted anyone but if you think I have could you point to an example? I’m expressing my opinion (which certainly appears unpopular) and if that is seen as insulting or fighty then I don’t know what to tell you. I’m going to keep expressing my opinion.
I apologize - that wasn’t meant to be a reply to you; I’m still getting used to these new apps. :(
sure. i’ll bite. how about you tell me exactly what opinions have gotten you branded in this way? please. tell me what exactly are the kinds of things you say that get other people to call you a nazi.
Hi person from beehaw. let me just say all beehaw users are nazis and fascists. now you are someone who’s been accused of being a nazi and fascist.
I get called a fascist nazi all the time merely for agreeing with the 1st amendment of the USA which guarantees the right to free speech. If simply supporting the right to freely speak means you get called nazi/fascist, then I’d be wary of anyone who wasn’t accused of such.
I was called a fascist on Reddit for saying that punching nazis is a victimless crime, because punching people, merely because they want to eradicate other people, is a well-known staple of fascism.
Yeah but if everyone slightly right of center gets labeled a nazi then you can just call anyone you don’t like a nazi and you can do whatever you want to them. That’s a problem.
