Comment on Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse
JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 1 week agoWhat “obvious” political stance might that be?
To me, it’s “somewhere on the progressive side of the median” but I’m almost expecting you to say “fascist” or something, given the extent of America’s polarization.
Another thing: in popular communities the comments are coming from all over, so without keeping a mental tally of everyone’s usernames I find it’s getting quite hard to pin down any particular instance’s biases.

Neoliberal is what I’m referring to.

This was exactly my point! “Neoliberal.”

By that I mean the renewal of capitalism over state as economic and general government policy, not “democrat/liberal.” But liberals are neoliberal as they subscribe to that ideology as a fish subscribed to the water they live in.

At heart, liberalism just means putting the individual before the collective. So there can be lots of varieties of liberal. But a debate on terminology will quickly get quite boring. From what I can tell, this community is hardly even liberal, let alone neoliberal. That was my point. It seems that people are seeing in others the ideologies they want to see.
