    Having a two party system is so dumb to begin with, but yes that way of thinking is the perfect road to a one party system (either directly or indirectly, either long or short term, which could be harmful regardless), the US are cooked anyway because no party could be made let alone survive unless backed by the rich and powerful…it would be anything but « giving the people a voice » 💀



  • Yeah I was uncomfortable bringing up the «pro-Russia propaganda» thing, I am aware what’s going on in Ukraine is no simple topic, in the context of my post it was more about war propaganda which in some cases I can be fearful of. I’m not gonna lie though as much as I’m quite open to pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine sentiment I’m not pro-Russia myself, I’m just distrustful or at the very least careful, but it has to do with the financial ties Russia has with the far right in my country, the fact that in the past they managed to make a media outlet in my country that spread misinformation benefiting far right views, and lastly because in the political history of my country being blindly pro-Russia contributed to the death of our communist party (by crumbling the confidence of its members and the trust of their voters), which was one of the biggest and beneficial party we’ve ever had (not like Russia is to blame in this case though).







  • Yeah I expected as much :/

    I knew that whatever I’d learn it’d be a cause for concern. Even if predictable I find it quite discomforting to think that so many instances would make so much room to the right by suppressing and spreading hate about a big leftist instance like Hexbear (and even others), it’s especially disappointing since I do like lemmy a lot. I’m also a bit torned because now I don’t want anything to do with .world and others, but I miss some of the communities I followed when I didn’t know any of this.

    At least I’m glad I found this place, I actually like it here.
