Lemmy is populated by far left Americans who were banned from Reddit for extremism. Strict ideological conformity is required or youโ€™ll get actual death threats. Donโ€™t go there unless you want violent communist revolution and hate discussing interesting ideas.

That actually helps, at least with your post. All the more why I hate labels, when they totally flip around depending on the perspective of the person using them. This isn't just a US/Europe thing, it's true of history too. Hence the "Party of Lincoln" trope that Republicans like to wave around, ignoring that the party names shifted and flipped over time.

Socialists and other US extreme left ideas merge in with the Democrats because when they first materialized as political movements and a third party, thanks to our political system they either had to die out or pick a side to stay alive.

Agreed, I mean absolutely no disrespect.

None taken or meant either. I just see it a lot, and I guess this morning it triggered a response. :D

I don't know what to call myself, I just know what ideas and values I believe in, and the ones I hate.
