It's not "right wing"

It's just totalitarian fascism.

We need to let go of this stupid idea that only right wing politics ends up in totalitarian fascism.

ANY FORM OF IDEOLOGY OR BELIEF CAN LEAD TO FASCISM.

"Love thy neighbour as thyself" can lead to totalitarian fascism.

No matter how benign the belief, someone can turn it into fascism.

The thing that makes this even more perverse is that Musk doesn't have the power to stop Russians from attacking anywhere.

So just what the fuck does he think he's going to achieve?

No more government funding for Musk.

Hate to say it, but Feddy verse is no different.

Nowhere is safe from the shrill endless war of shitty middle class Americans with nothing better to do than stink up every available channel with whatever you dumb shit politics they refuse to shut up about.

I looked it up. They aren't skyrocketing.

The numbers dropped due to lockdown, then bounced up and are stable.

I hate this cult of negativity - just make up how everything is getting worse in order to hand more power to the government.

The casual and bovine l way it all happen is disgusting.

This is the best answer.

An assault on Trump is an assault on the idiots who made it their identity to support him.

They can't let him be insulted.

The only winning move is to just offer a better solution and ignore him.

Imagine if Lemmy just totally avoided playground level political debate?

I feel like addictive algorithms are a big part of what we need to get away from.
