Absolutely I can. And I know it is. If you want information and you start going to left and right spaces I will guarantee the right wing space will be more informative in real time. The left catches up way after. But there is no insight from the left until the right wing spaces back the story.

You don’t even have a point to make.

I like that. But I’m not wrong. Compare any left wing comment section to a right wing one when a new event occurs and you’ll see it.

Just look at people here. It’s passive engagent. The right are actively engaged. Hell just look up content alone. Theirs is much more creative the left is more generic and what has it produced lately? The right have all kinds of IP? Not sure if that’s the right word but it’s all owned by the right like pepe and such. The left just isn’t producing they’re consuming. Deny it all you want. Argue because you’re on the left, never thought about it and jus want to react. But I’m right.

😆

Good. Nobody should have we’ve capitalized on the internet. It wasn’t a space to sell onlyfans and subscribe to comics about cats. Those people opened the door for every single capitalist who ruined every other space the ever existed. Turned it into a privacy hellscape that wants a picture of your asshole every time to want to sign up to your favorite artist weekly chance to sell you ads.

Fuck them

Burn it all to the ground. Steal everything. Share everything until people trying to capitalize online fuck off.

Use it all you want. Don’t listen to people here. They’re fucking stupid. These are the same people who told everyone not to get into bitcoin. Meanwhile all the assholes are millionaires and these people here gave up every space the had to the investors and are still trying to moral police others.

It’s here and isn’t going away. You’re not a hero for not using it. Learn it like any other tool. Get good with it. Use it to better your life unlike people here who will continue to lose power, territory, success and try to drag you down with them.

This it what drives me about the left. The average leftist is much less informed about stuff like this than people on the right.

It’s like people on the left went from being super politically active and informed to casual observer while the right flipped.

I keep seeing comments like this on leftists spaces where people have no idea what the fuck is going on meanwhile rightwing spaces are 8 layers deep in conspiracy but it’s all based on actual informative stuff that’s happening, it’s just twisted to suit themselves. The left is super cooked even if they start securing wins. People on the left just don’t have the ability to do what past generations could. They don’t like conflict. They want to do disengage and forget about it all during a time when maximum attention is required.

they just flaunt all this shit at us cuz theres nothing we actively do. they just laugh at us, look at howard nutlick.

I mean are they not succeeding?

And we’re early. They’re still figuring out what works and doesn’t.

Yea really. You can search “couches fucking” and get the same results. It’s yet another story that bots will post to keep you clicking for the hour. You will write “yea fuck Trump he’s such a dick” then I guess up or down vote which are about as real as the tooth fairy but give a sense of something? I guess. Then you move on to the next story.

This lemmy place is built to keep you just engaged enough. It’s not like 4chan or Facebook or even reddit where a culture is built, investigations and research are done on these things and keeps going day to day by generating new content.

Lemmy is a place to collect leftist and keep them occupied while the nazis convince your uncle that kids are shitting in cat litter and it’s immigrants fault.

Look at how they built it. It’s every corporate control reddit implemented for corporate control just ramped up to 11. Why would you all accept that? Leftist use to stand for something, it’s just a vapid and dying culture and most civil action lately has been stuff cooked up by right wing groups to jingle keys like a modern cointelpro

They don’t need to bury stories anymore. Leftist have retreated all social spaces to right wing groups. They have no network. Barely any meaningful presence. It’s a digital age and the left somehow became luddite trying to convince people to meet in coffee shops.

It’s fucking over. In my life I have never seen a more devastating choke. The left essentially controlled all digital spaces and even media. Then the first sign of confrontation where leftist had to “punch nazis” they all collectively folded and said “don’t roll with pigs we’re too good” it turned out the left had no fight in it.

Nobody knows about this on any other site.

Hey a crazy story you guys need to amplify quickly. So you’re all off the corporate hellscape sites that everybody else is on. So what’s the plan? Observe? Great job, let’s go get a soda.

Lol that’s awesome. You guys here have fucked up so bad. You’ve given every platform imaginable to the racists and bigots. Just give them this one too. Love to see it. Maybe one day you’ll all wake up to realize how ineffective and lazy this generation of leftist are and how they were just as affected by manipulations and propagandists as much as the right. The consequence though for the two are entirely different.

Nothing more cowardly than this opinion

Thanks. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one with this attitude even if we disagree on things. I don’t know how things should be but I know this isn’t it. I think we need to deconstruct a lot of things on the left including these spaces to understand how they took it over and took control.

Responses like this are such low effort. What is wrong with you. Who gives a shit what instance it is. It’s all the same.

Resorting to hyperbole weakens your argument not mine.

I have not said it was a leftist utopia. When reddit started it was community based. We built these spaces ourselves and they reflected our ideals, and that’s what made them good and what drew people in. It’s the same thing a lot of leftists say they want, not just online but in government, in business, everywhere. Cooperatives. Voting systems where our votes actually matter, instead of smoke and mirrors covering for a small group of elites.

Then as these sites got bigger, corporate interests started rolling out features that slowly took those structures apart, and we didn’t even notice. Every change favored the company. The community lost control over its own content and its own spaces, and in its place we got an overseer, a mod in charge. And a lot of these mods act like abusive police with their authority. Unchecked power, no accountability, punishing people however they want. That’s everything leftists say they’re against.

Think how insane it is that people here push for democracy everywhere else, but when it comes to our own digital spaces they just accept it, and do not even catch that contradiction.

This place is so much worse. The mods are unchecked and twice as power hungry. The users are way more out of touch.

This place took every single corporate control measure that reddit implemented and built lemmy out of it. No lessons were learned.

This place is a snuff box for leftist.

The Arab spring is what it could have been. Do you think the people who control our channels just went back to work the next work? They closed all the holes that allowed arab spring to happen and you didn’t even notice.
