Sure. But I’m not going to write an essay to back my position right now with numerous examples.
I respect many of the far lefts beliefs like economic policy, pressure against the right wing, social policies supporting poor. I don’t respect the extreme distrust of media, violent retoric (when I see it), ideological purism, because it comes off as culty
Should note that I see less violent retoric from the far left than the far right, hence “when I see it”
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 3 days ago:
I don’t believe the horseshoe theory. Far left and far right have a number of stark differences such as religion, economic policy, etc. I just believe that both sides are fringe cult-like environments, particularly when it comes to isolating yourselves and ideology control. Occasionally, I see other similarities.
Imo, far left isn’t clearly closer to the far right in most beliefs, except cult-like behavior
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 3 days ago:
The statement is that far left makes similarly culty statements like “X entity is hiding evidence that supports our views from the general public”. It’s the “everyone except us lies” part of the culty belief. My statement is that both far left and far right have fringe beliefs that are culty or close to it.

I never said those were equal statements

The comment I replied to vs. this from QAnon page on Wikipedia.
The cabal is thought to cover up its existence by controlling politicians, mainstream media, and Hollywood.
Only difference is that your side is “right”

Sometimes the further left extremes I’ve heard hear are indistinguishable from conservative Q-Anon. I legitimately need to check users post histories to understand which extreme they are on

Before Lemmy, I didn’t know it was possible to go so left that you hated liberals.

Russian bots have been noted rewriting history on Wikipedia for Baltic and ex-ussr countries recently too. I read about #estonia having to fight to preserve accurate history on Wikipedia.
It was also noticable that contra-US bots were driving polarization leading up to the US election. There were a number of topics that went silent the day after election.

Could be true, but this suggests weak evidence.

I automatically assume Redditors are bots from some state actor. I’ve seen enough obvious campaigns that it’s impossible for me to trust anymore

I knew most of it was spam. I just figured it was propaganda

Wtf it literally never crossed my might to use a forum like this. So fucking dumb. It’s like everyone is scrambling for a couple percent points over the next

Check this out. I used to do things like this with hard core right wing (trump flags, cleaning their guns everyday).
My goal wasn’t to convince them, but get them to think critically and feel safe around liberals. The ones I talked to were usually convinced leftists were out to get them. I was a leftist who would literally just listen to them, watch Fox news with them and then we’d get burritos and hang out.
I want them to think of me and other friends, when they see videos of ICE beating up people. I’ll never convince them to vote blue, but maybe I can convince them that we can disagree about politics, but still be friends

It would be cool if this was ActivityPub compatible so we could follow Instagram from Mastodon. As much as I hate meta, there are some artists I would like to follow still

We also want to ensure that conservatives are repeatedly alienated so they build their own networks and never see other points of view! /s

Are there any instances of this? It looks promising

Is there an alternative way to contribute to them? I would happily send money directly to the artists, but I don’t know how
