Comment on Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?

I think it’s far/extreme politics rather than just conservative, they are quite beyond basic conservative at this point. Lemmy makes it easy to observe how the far left also believes lies and propaganda that confirms their ideology.

Tankies push false communism with the bourgeoisie still at the top giving scraps to the proletariat and passing it off as paltry socialism. There’s no societal change to the hierarchy, balance of power, or wealth.
It’s more a weird ultra nationalism where proletariats are being tricked into thinking power has been given to the people when the ones at top are abusing their power to oppress forms of counter thought to seize whatever they want and retain their wealth. I wouldn’t consider them left just because there’s some form of socialism. Lot of countries do if at the very least they fix roads and have fire fighters.
