I mean I object to his imperialist invasion of Ukraine. You don’t, then?

On Lemmy? Because Reddit sucks.

On this post? Because it appeared in All and I think leftists are fun to argue with for the same reason I argue with conservatives. I like occasionally reminding myself of how horseshit political thought is outside of social liberal circles

I mean, let’s take you. You’re literally celebrating being a wumau tankie. It’s basically a self-parody at this point.

Never said I was a leftist, you all are ridiculous, defending Russian imperialism and shit

It’s not surprising why a country struggling to stay free of Russian imperialism would ban parties associated with Russian imperialism. This is like acting surprised that Germany banned the Nazi party.

Go argue with Zelenskyy lmfao

I’m not inventing anything, that’s why the Ukrainian communist party was banned. They were Kremlin spies.

I think OP was a megafan of a now-banned Ukrainian communist party that was banned because they took orders from the Kremlin. For everyone’s context.

I seriously don’t understand why I should care

You could basically rewrite this article to “Cool fact: Republicans are getting out raised in Michigan everywhere other than their caucus PACs”

There’s plenty of left wing echo chambers, but they’re leftist, not liberal. r/wayofthebern, for instance, or one of the various communist subreddits are good examples.

The difference here is that leftists extreme enough to fall into those echo chambers are far less common than conservatives. And, of course, they represent a very small subset of the left when compared to conservatives who accept misinformation.

No, he’s right. It’s not a matter of opinion, either, study after study shows that conservatives are far more accepting of misinformation and far more likely to spread it.

In my experience, they’re also far less tolerant of dissenting views. I mean, they’re the kings of culture war boycotts and cancel crusades, moral panics, and their latest thing is to call anyone who steps outside of their sexuality box a pedophile.
