  • It’s sad that you’re getting down voted for this, because you’re absolutely right. These lemmy communities are already turning out to be a left-leaning echo chamber, this thread is a perfect example. Any opinion that differs from the left is blocked or downvoted or argued against endlessly.

    OP asks a completely reasonable question in good faith, and hundreds of people come to attack him for thinking differently than they do.

    People straight up mock him for no reason. The left loves to paint the right as being hateful, but I’m only seeing the left being hateful on here.







  • The exact same thing can be said for liberal communities. It becomes a hivemind where dissenting opinions are not allowed.

    Take the Hunter Biden laptop story for instance. So many websites and communities outright banned it from being discussed or posted because they didn’t like the optics of it. Facebook banned it, the top subs on reddit banned it.

    Only very recently has CNN decided to treat it as news, after lying about it constantly on air for months saying it was fake. That’s censorship of information. The left regularly spread misinformation like “the laptop story is a Russian hoax”.

    Both sides do this.

    This is what annoys me, a lot of these replies act like there’s a hidden agenda to everything. Saying things like, “They must support white supremacy! It’s a racist dog whistle! They’re a Trump supporter”. Their assessments never have any nuance whatsoever: if you put that on your car, you’re all of the above.

    They have such a condescending attitude and a superiority complex towards anyone who disagrees with them. They just can’t help but build this fictional stereotype about people they don’t like to vilify them.

    It’s not wrong to like the American flag. While I’d never put it on my car, I know people who do, and they don’t have a single mean bone in their body.




  • The way you’re framing it seems disingenuous. You act like only people on the right lie and spread misinformation (and they do!). It feels like you’re making a childish jab at the right because you don’t like them.

    Left-wing people and right-wing people both lie to you plenty, because political leanings have nothing to do with it.

    I’m not claiming the piece itself is truthful, but you’ve got your head deep in the sand if you think the right wing is the only group lying to you, while the left & everyone else is truthful.
