Leftism
Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

The conservative media keeps thier viewers in a closed loop. They will only consume media from their source as it reinstates their beliefs. My InLaws are always watching g Faux News, Oan, and News Max. They only read the grudge report. They never venture outside of those "sources". I'm not sure if they believe the lies of kids going to school and getting g sex changes despite one of them retiring as a science teacher.
I'm in the UK. I am a teacher. I know a teacher with school-age kids who believes that "there is a child in my neighbour's school who thinks they are a cat and have a litter tray."
How can you falsify that?
That is such a huge conspiracy that's going around in every neighborhood.
Every time I hear it I think, there's no way the health department is letting kids shit out in the open in public in the back of a classroom. Even IF you can get around the whole "kids using the bathroom in public in front of teachers" thing that would 100% get someone put on an offender list.
Yes. And when a teacher who knows that the institution we both work in does not have litter trays for cat children is believing this idea, you know that this belief is a matter of population-controlling gullibility.
Anyway, as an autistic being who doesn't relate to humanity, I respect neurodivergent people who identify as non-human. Humans should try to be better role models to fix that.
As a fellow member of the autistic species, i wholeheartedly agree.
It has made me smile to know I am not completely alone, thank you.
How long would it take for a hypothetical curious Republican to be called a Nazi outside of their silo just for saying they consider themselves a Republican?
