I think to a degree the left pushes people out though, as your lefty card needs to be spotless or it’s revoked.

Sometimes a person can say one thing wrong and they’ll be labelled an alt-right fascist, and not part of “the group” on the left, especially online.

Obviously that doesn’t make people right wing, but it is a problem that pushes people away from more left leaning views/groups. Rather than try to discuss and correct, people will berate and ostracise.

You think that doesn't happen on the right? There's a huge fight in congress now about which idiot is the Republicanest. They're all calling each other RINOs.

I consider myself a communist, I have been called a nazi or a fascist (I don't remember) by some people here because I don't share 100% some of their ideas, I'm still on the left, I still have empathy, I fully support individual freedom. But they are annoying nonetheless.

Ok, I'll bite, give me an example of "one thing wrong" that gets you labelled as an alt-right fascist.

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 months ago

Supporting Ukraine, or liking Stalin. Depending on which instance you're chatting in

[-] static@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

Ok you got me, I don't see tankies as mainstream left wing, they're fare gone but wouldn't label them alt-right

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah alt-right maybe not, but they're called red fash for a reason

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 11 months ago

huh, generally i'd say not supporting ukraine gets you labelled as a twat and excluded from leftist circles

it depends, a lot of european politicians for example were recently voted out of office and replaced by far right dickheads in large part because of their anti-ukraine views... it's alarming how common this is and how much ground the left has lost in a lot of european countries because of not supporting ukraine, meanwhile the right used this to their advantage and went all out pro-ukraine (for example in italy with fascist girlboss PM and her coalition). i think this was also a contributing factor in recent finnish elections.

the right is uniting in eurpope for once, instead of hating each other, as well as taking advantage of anti-immigrant anti-LGBT sentiments in the population, meanwhile infighting in the left is causing it to crumble. it's a terrible sign

Saying you are against abolishing or defunding the police.
