That is absolutely not a bad faith interpretation but rather a clear reading of what you have said so far. If you cannot see the similarities in communist and fascist methodologies and execution, both historically and looking at the current climate, you are not assessing it objectively. Both communists and fascists have utilized repression, non democratic governance, torture, and killed millions of civilians who have the audacity to challenge their extremist views. Similarly with this discussion thread being a perfect example, both communists and fascists react negatively to any and all criticism and works hard to brigade and shutdown any discussion that might be contrary to their views.

I am not sure what kind of strange bubble you live in but that is objectively not true. Most people on the left are most definitely not communists. You either do not understand what the word communist means, or you live in a very strange bubble or country where everyone on the left is described as a communist.

Communism (from Latin communis, ‘common, universal’)[1][2] is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society based on need.

Most people on the left are NOT pushign for common ownership of the means of production and distribution and are most definitely not in support of a centrally planned economy.

This is also the danger of extremist views, they think anyone who does not subscribe to their extremist viewpoint is against them and the enemy when in reality, 90% of the people on the left would not agree with communist ideology which has failed in reality time and again.

Just because you can’t differentiate between what a personality type is and what beliefs and positions are doesn’t mean that statement isn’t true. You just seem to conflate political positions with behaviour itself.

I didn’t even say right and left are the same, I specifically mentioned extremists who are a minority on both sides.

Again you should try learning to read. I never said people on both sides. Most people on either the right or the left aren’t extremist commies or fascists. The extremists minorities on the other hand, one and the same. Intolerant of any other views or criticism. Your comments are a perfect example demonstrating.

There we go, perfect example of extremists making discriminatory statements and unable to engage in discussion. I care about politics plenty, I just don’t subscribe to one dimensional propaganda not supported by data.

Protip: attacking everyone who doesn’t share your extremist and hateful views doesn’t really make you look any better or change their mind. But I do get it gives you an outlet to be channel all your hate and blame others when you are just too dumb to understand nuance.

No actually I am most definitely correct. You are either just too biased to accept it or can’t separate viewpoints from personality types and behaviours.

Perfect example above of not being able to read or understand nuance.

Yea, that’s more of a self-report on your end if you can’t comprehend nuance and think absolute rejection of classist hierarchy and absolute adherence to classist hierarchy** are the same positions**.

Extremists might latch on to different BS but personality types of extremists on all ends are essentially the same.

If you tried actually reading, you would have noticed how I in fact said the exact opposite. I never claimed they were the same, I specifically mentioned they may latch on to different things/positions. What I said instead was that they had the same personality type.

The political spectrum is a circle. Extremists might latch on to different BS but personality types of extremists on all ends are essentially the same. Loud hateful aggressive assholes lacking the intelligence to understand nuance.

If you ever get the opportunity to, highly recommend going to see it. It’s probably my favorite thing on earth.

No I refused to engage in them because I do not waste my time with biased extremist sources spouting bullshit and propaganda. I check the quality of the sources I consume information from before doing so.

Calling them articles is a massive reach. Sources and the quality of those sources matter. Just because you get your extremist friends to brigade doesn’t change that fact.

I did none of those things but lmao you extremists are sensitive as fuck. No wonder the echo chamber works so well for you guys.

Lmao extremist propaganda sources 101.

The level of idiocy from some people here who can’t seem to think outside the media created brands in the US is just sad. Centrism has an actual definition that is not your extremist media created bs. Go educate yourself.

Since when is memes an “US” environment? Maybe learn to read and check where you are posting before assuming everyone in this world lives in your country.

Well some of us happen live outside of the US where true centrist options still exist. Additionally, just because the US doesn’t have a centrist part and one side has decided to go full Nazi doesn’t mean you can’t still be centrist. Being a centrist doesn’t mean saying both sides are at fault or finding a position between both sides. It just means your views lie somewhere in between the traditional left and the traditional right in either or both social and economic topics. As an example, I don’t support communism, but that doesn’t mean I dont believe in social safety nets.

I keep hearing this but my company uses teams and I rarely if ever have any issues. Could it just be a configuration thing?

I mean this is kinda bs. We had some really good movies released this year as well.

Barbie - besides all the bitching on lemmy, it’s actually a good movie

Oppenheimer - Maybe an all time classic

Spiderman Across the Multiverse - maybe one of the best superhero movies ever

Super Mario Bros - Not my type of movie but a commercial hit

Guardians of the Galaxy - Another really good superhero movie

John Wick 4 - Super fun movie

And that’s just halfway through the year.

Edit: and mission impossible this year too

That is absolutely fascinating as I can’t see any hints of a 2 or how what I see as 7 becomes a 2.
