I registered this community as a Lemmy backup for Reddit communities like /r/qult_headquarters and /r/qanoncasualties as well as /r/againsthatesubreddits. Recently I stumbled upon a thread that indicated that the original Lemmy developers were denying the Uighur genocide, which to me is just as dangerous as all of the right wing propaganda. I’d like to include antivaxxers and some of the tankier elements here as they all stem from an authoritarian mindset, but I’m not sure if this is appropriate. I do know that the vast amount of online conspiracies are right-wing in nature, but felt like putting in some leftist stuff too.
This is going to sound sort of callous, but left wing conspiracies are just not a very large concern for me. I live in the southern US. I’m not worried about the threat that tankies pose to my family. Former friends and coworkers that have joined the 3%ers scare the shit out of me because they know I’m liberal. The fascists have clearly made threats, made laws, persecuted, and prosecuted all of us Others.
There is some wraparound with the anti-vaxx stuff, granola-Q, for sure.
Personally, the Democrats are a shit sandwich. The Republicans are a teacup full of arsenic. For now, I’ll eat that shit sandwich and thank you much. History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. The path the Right is currently on leads to bodies in pits.
So, yeah, point out any propaganda and lies you see, I’ll support that. It just isn’t a priority for me.
