B-but America…!

Wow, Lemmy without federation? That doesn’t sound like Lemmy! :)

When are we getting stickers?

Gosh why even fork Lemmy?

Russia is the real source of fascism. As I mentioned elsewhere, today I met with an old colleague who lives in Russia. He repeats any/all political propaganda he sees on TV. Somewhere in-between his going on and on about how Obama’s administration is comprised of a bunch of homosexuals, he mentions at one point that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis. Then the next thing he starts talking about right after that is that western civilization is coming to an end because whites are not reproducing enough and as a result are being replaced by non-whites in USA and Europe.

Really it was an intriguing though horrifying confusion of ideas, courtesy of Russia.

False dilemma, no?

I think it helps provide a counter-balance to the more right leaning groups trying to avoid mainstream social media.

I think this point is important regardless of political spectrum. Lots of really nasty people have migrated to alternative platforms so that they can be nasty, but I’m glad Lemmy makes it clear enough that it’s not one of their nasty spaces.
