Nearly all social media is full of eco echo chambers… I still post and follow stuff on several of the platforms. There is very little nuanced conversation… Seems like it is more and more just an up vote or downvote storm, or people claiming one thing or another without any supporting evidence.
And that makes me genuinely sad. When I joined Lemmy, I was a little put off by the leftist bent here, but then I realized that I appreciated being challenged on my views, especially since people here are generally nice about it.
I wish I could find something like that for conservatives as well. Better yet, I wish there was a place like Reddit or Lemmy where all views were respected, provided claims are supported with evidence. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be compatible with the world we live in, and that makes me sad.
Reich Wing ideology, the entire thing, relies on subservience and deference to authority. The difference in the various flavors of it are just how much and who.
Of course, discussing political ideology is “partisan”… Its exactly what we’re talking about.
And no, they’re not just talking points, it’s literally how we describe the various systems of political ideology… Reich Wingers look to construct a society around control and subservience. And, like I said, the question of “who” to obey, and how strictly people are to be controlled are what differentiates the various Reich Wing ideologies.
That is literally what makes up right wing ideology… Prove me wrong. Because, yes, every Reich Winger thinks that some level of control over others is a requirement of society.
Control of women’s bodies.
Control of immigrants.
Control of health care.
Control of religious views.
Control of other countries.
Show me a Reich Winger who doesn’t believe that someone needs to control others, and I’ll walk that back.
I honestly don’t care about centrism, I care about diversity of ideas with citations for claims. If a left wing or right wing policy is the best for a given situation, I’d love to discuss it.
But failing that, I’ll take centrist over either political extreme any day of the week.
Happy to see the word “nuance” being used… wish there was more of that too. This whole binary with-me / against-me mentality will bring us all crashing down.

Being a Reich Winger is incompatible with rational or thoughtful discussion.
Reich wing ideology boils down to subservience and deference to authority, not knowledge.
You seem to have a very specific definition in mind. There’s a lot more to the right wing than fascism.

OK, so you’re just going to spout partisan talking points instead of having a productive conversation.
Have a wonderful day.

This is a talking point, and you’re basically implying everyone on the right believes this, and that’s patently false.

Seems like there aren’t many centrist communities where you can have nuanced discussions.

Hard to find nuance in anything the current government is doing
Eco chambers sound like a good thing.
