The horseshoe theory holds true in many cases. Far ends of the spectrum have more in common with eachother than they do with the people on the middle. Antisemitism is a good example of something you find in both extremes. Calls for violence is another example.
False premise… not wanting Palestinian babies to be slaughtered en masse is not anti-Semitism. Fuck that.
There isn’t a far right and “far left” equivalency - one side are fascists and the other are anti fascists. Opposition of objective evil is NOT an extreme, it’s a baseline position.
Quiet propaganda, like this comment, did a lot to bring our broken society to this point.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’
Lemmy is definitely not an echo chamber. As a leftist there’s a ton of liberal simp vooooooote blue no matter who bullshit, followed by blaming everyone but their shitty ass candidate and even shittier ass party for the loss.
The right wing in contrast is in unison lining up to fellate trumps little mushroom.
Have your fun here on the internet today, but just remember this “high” when your grandkids tell you you’re not invited to Christmas one day. The people around you see the garbage you are in full color. They see the world you didn’t care to save on their behalf. Enjoy that fucking loneliness and crawl to your forums for the only illusion of validation you’ll have left at that point, from a fucking bot.
So reading all the comments here:
X is far Right, conservatives - bad.
Lemmy is far Left, liberal - good.
You both sound as bad as each other.

You know the Palestinians, who are currently being genocided with American weapons and money, are semites right?
How does this relate to what I said?
Seems like you were using antisemitism as shorthand for antizionism
I’m talking about the hatred of jews.
Is holding israel accountable for its genocide “hatred of Jews”?
I haven’t said a world about Israel.
But you say the “far left” “hates” Jews.
The far left hates Israel. The far left hates zionists. The far left does not hate jews.
Meanwhile the far right are literally Nazis marching around with swastikas.
But yeah they’re totally the same 🙄 you’re really great at playing dumb.

Israel is doing genocide but the Jews are real victims of US political discourse
No no you see once in Lemmy you can engage in the communist left vs liberal center-left battles. It’s turtles all the way down.

If we’re being honest, they’re both echo chambers, but one of decidedly more malevolent than the other.

Chud.
How your comment reads to the rest of us:
"Wrong reason people don’t like twitter - bad
Wrong reason people like lemmy - good
You both sound the same to me"
