One thing the right is good at doing is falling in line, no matter that the agenda being pushed.
Yeah the flaws of leftists is understanding what they are voting for and not operating purely on loyalty.
This seems like sarcasm, which is valid, but what you said is also absolutely true. The primary virtue of the left is also its biggest weakness when it comes to implementation.
That’s mostly due to the rights belief in hierarchy. It doesn’t matter if the person above you has different views than you if you believe their right simply because they’re higher up the pecking order.
One thing I’ve always wondered, who/what decides their hierarchy?
Gotta maintain that rigid tribal culture so it supports whoever steals the leadership role!
The right opposes free thought and favors conformity to support the privileged few.
The left favors free thought and opposes conformity, because that would impede social progress.
Yeah, I wonder why one of thsoe groups is likely to have arguments.
Not necessarily. Some leftists demand conformity in beliefs. “If you don’t believe XYZ, you’re a shill/neoliberal/fascist etc.”
I feel like favoring free thought and opposing conformity leads to arguments, but demanding conformity leads to enemies (like this meme).
Some of the most authoritarian people I come into contact with on any kind of regular basis are “leftists” on Lemmy.
The ones in real life are not like that. I feel like Reddit’s moderation model really encourages it, and some of them started really taking it to heart when they came to Lemmy which copied that same model.
The problem is not public arguments, but groups rejectimg other groups for ideological reasons. I personally know people who are like “you can be a communist and you can be wrong”.
The reality is that there are left groups, especially far-left groups, who will already dismiss your opinion on everything for not categorically rejecting a social markets economy. Doesn’t matter if you agree in all other points.
That reminds me of a scene from Jean-Luc Godard’s La Chinoise, where some members of a Maoist group call others “conformists” or something to that effect because they hold different views on the finer details of communism/socialism.
The right is also driven by fear and hate. It’s easier to get coordination and conformity that way.
I don’t hate most leftists (or even non-leftists for that matter). I hate the kind that hate other leftists. The lemmy.ml tankies always complain that people who disagree with them are splitting the left, when they’re the ones calling everybody who vaguely disagrees with them a liberal. Not purely an ML thing though, there’s plenty of this kind of person in all camps.
I made this for a comment (about small-data images, jpegs) days ago:
I fucking hate this dynamic
I seriously wish leftist unity was more of a thing. And no, liberals, I’m not talking about you.
Is this oneof those /s moments or a /r/wooosh moment?
Liberals are only considered “the left” in the USA. I am not in the USA.
My money’s on wooosh but it could be either one tbh.
Kek
eh. you are welcome to join me, or do your own thing if you want to. just stop annoying me on the internet, its counterproductive.
I would like more unity with people who share alignment with me. Except for anyone who has a slightly different opinion than me on certain issues, screw those people.
