minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 hours agoI don’t. I don’t think they know that. I don’t think you do either. Leftism can be cleanly seperated from Liberalism in this way: Leftists want to abolish capitalism, change it so much that it’s not capitalism any more. Liberals think capitalism is… a good person, but just, misunderstood. Also, if I just told you that the LW admin/mod team is… consistently defending genociders, and state sponsored terrorism? And you say… well I am apolitical, so that’s fine? You are not apolitical, you are in fact explcitly fine with those horrible things, you are saying they don’t bother you that much. … there are plenty of non political communities and discussion on… all of the banned instances, many others too. But no, no, you’re fine with the genocide supporting one. Ok then.
