It wasn't even in a blahaj sub. But they did nuke the account. I'm not about to censor myself regardless though, if I can't have the less restrictive reddit I was promised on lemmy, i might as well be back on reddit. I refuse to contribute to more echo chambers. If something is a bad take, i will point it out. if someone points out my reasoning is faulty, i learned something. If we can't have that, we're just sitting behind our computers, patting ourselves on the back about how right we are about everything.

Not at all what i said here or in the post. I speak from experience on this, there are a lot of people being influenced by the extremists that can still be communicated with. This attitude is exactly what i'm referring to as well. You put them all under the same umbrella, which, if we keep doing this, will only make the problems for people on both sides worse.
I don't mind the ban much, I can just make another account. But I think it is representative of an issue larger than Lemmy.
I just got banned from blahaj for suggesting we should show understanding to rightwing people, because they view the left in the same way as we view them. It creates more division for no reason other than being unwilling to communicate.
Reason: Bigot
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't underestimate China's power to fuck things up for everyone to ensure it's survival. The CCP has shown it's willing and able to do anything they deem useful, regardless of the human cost. Uncontrolled powers in this day and age are absolutely terrifying.
That's not gonna end well without a viable and executable alternative. Usually you'll end up with a lot of chaos, some party promising to ease it, followed by that party turning out to be a dictatorship.
Frankly, it's amazing we have something close to a democracy at all.
And a right wing person can take that sentence and turn it around. They have a whole lore to back up the claim too.
When you dig deep enough into the claims, it becomes clear which is fact. Most people don't have the time to do that so they stick to what's in their beliefsystem or fits within it.
They think people who believe in climate change are brainwashed zombies, in an ironic backward twist. This also seems to be the case with many things and it's probably intentionally done by the propagandists.
How long do you figure until smalltalk about the weather is an attack on someone's political beliefsystem?
Well precisely. But how can you expect them to become willing if you just hurl insults back at them. They will assume you are exactly the person you think they are and isolate themselves further in that community. I'm not saying fight hate with love, but no progress can be made without a willingness to communicate.
