That's true if it's closer to 2095. If it's closer to 2025, there's fuck all we can do to stop it, and so we need to do what's best to survive it, which is not the same as what's best to prevent it.

It's kind of important whether it's 2095 (prepare for it, set up nuclear, reduce carbon emissions) or 2025 (fuck global warming, we need fuel and we need it now, the more carbon emitted the better).

It doesn't to me. It's just communists vs liberals rather than left vs right.

As someone with similar views, I recently realised that I have the exact same tribalism and aggression, it's just targeted at people who have that mentality.

Exactly. Blame/credit (blame in this case) doesn't travel that way.

Take the following example: Alice and Bob both support view X. Bob also supports view Y. Y is evil. Then, Bob can be deemed responsible for supporting view Y. But X does not become evil because Bob is. And so Alice is completely fine.

Hell, "gaslighting" itself is a good example of this phenomenon, and it's mostly on the left.

Nah, it's probably because most of us left Reddit at some point, either due to banning left-wing subs or due to corporate dickery.

The right-wingers went their way, to places like Voat, Saidit, Gab and Truth Social.

Finally. There you are. I've faced so many left-wing schmucks, I was wondering where the right-wing ones had gone.

But you're still a schmuck. Leftists don't want children to grow up to be vile.

If you want to link me to an author I don't recognise, you'll have to try harder than Luxemburg!

I'm pretty sure that's what they mean.

Nobody cares what Lenin had to say. You're not just talking to the lemmygrad lot.

If it were just that dimension, where's all the (right-)libertarians?

I'm aware that many Soapbox instances are somewhat controversial. Is this to the extent that any Soapbox instance would have the same reputation?
