Russia is ruled by fascists. how can you call them leftists while they shill russian propaganda?

Russia is very much quickly tumbling towards USSR communism. There is massive support for return to communism from the officials and the population. People are erecting new statues for Stalin and getting popular support. Criticizing historical communist leaders is likely to get you legally persecuted.

Why are people thinking that communist loving Russia is leftist... Gee I don't know.

Incoming "USSR wasn't communism, and nothing has ever been communism".

Your two reasons, being below the eye line and being a woman are incongruent. If you're below the eye line and they don't notice you, then how are they expecting you to yield?

I will probably get shit for this, since it's a predominantly left leaning space, but until society starts acknowledging men's issues it will keep getting worse.

https://afsp.org/suicide-statistics

In 2021, men died by suicide 3.90x more than women.

In 2021, firearms accounted for 54.64% of all suicide deaths.

This article is an excellent example of what I am talking about. It does not even mention the disparity of suicide rates between the sexes despite it obviously being a huge outlier. Instead, they talk about how guns are the problem, even though a gun is just a method.

Taking away the easy methods to commit suicide might reduce the rate, but it does nothing to address to core issues that make people want to kill themselves in the first place. Instead of 5000 dead people you will have 5000 people who wish they were dead. Mission accomplished.

It's irrelevant who made lemmy since it's an open source project. Both reddit and lemmy are products of capitalist systems.

It's also using ActivityPub protocol, which was developed by W3C, a non-profit organization with a CEO, a board of directors and sponsored by large corporations such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

I don't believe that you're consistent on this position.

I would be incredibly shocked if you had the same stance towards white supremacists, Nazis, or pedophiles that want to remove age of consent.

If you do, then cheers. You're practically a unicorn (in the sense that it's extremely rare). I don't disagree with that position as long as it's consistant

Smart kid. Isn't falling for fear mongering articles.
