I think to a degree the left pushes people out though, as your lefty card needs to be spotless or it’s revoked.

Sometimes a person can say one thing wrong and they’ll be labelled an alt-right fascist, and not part of “the group” on the left, especially online.

Obviously that doesn’t make people right wing, but it is a problem that pushes people away from more left leaning views/groups. Rather than try to discuss and correct, people will berate and ostracise.

You think that doesn't happen on the right? There's a huge fight in congress now about which idiot is the Republicanest. They're all calling each other RINOs.

Ok, I'll bite, give me an example of "one thing wrong" that gets you labelled as an alt-right fascist.

Supporting Ukraine, or liking Stalin. Depending on which instance you're chatting in

Ok you got me, I don't see tankies as mainstream left wing, they're fare gone but wouldn't label them alt-right

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah alt-right maybe not, but they're called red fash for a reason

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

huh, generally i'd say not supporting ukraine gets you labelled as a twat and excluded from leftist circles

[–] force@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it depends, a lot of european politicians for example were recently voted out of office and replaced by far right dickheads in large part because of their anti-ukraine views... it's alarming how common this is and how much ground the left has lost in a lot of european countries because of not supporting ukraine, meanwhile the right used this to their advantage and went all out pro-ukraine (for example in italy with fascist girlboss PM and her coalition). i think this was also a contributing factor in recent finnish elections.

the right is uniting in eurpope for once, instead of hating each other, as well as taking advantage of anti-immigrant anti-LGBT sentiments in the population, meanwhile infighting in the left is causing it to crumble. it's a terrible sign

Saying you are against abolishing or defunding the police.

I consider myself a communist, I have been called a nazi or a fascist (I don't remember) by some people here because I don't share 100% some of their ideas, I'm still on the left, I still have empathy, I fully support individual freedom. But they are annoying nonetheless.
