people here would rather just call each other Nazi over disagreements in leftist doctrine. they are not seriously interested in political activism, or exercising their political rights.
in fact the predominant message I see here is that voting and participating in politics is stupid and pointless. and you encourage others to participate in meanignful ways, like in local politics, where you do have legitimate power, people just call you names and say you are a fascist because any participation is supporting facism, or something.
apparently sitting around pirating stuff on your linux PC and posting about how awesome that makes you is the only way to fix society. throw in a internet debating on why your version of leftism/anarchism/communism is the only good one and all the other ones are closeted facists, and you have about 80% of the predominant lemmy userbase.
But hey I'm a just a fascist who votes, participates in my local community, and uses a windows/mac PC and subscribes to netflix and spotify, so clearly I'm the one who is destroying all that is good with the world. And I also subscribe to universalist humanitarian principles, so I'm an imperialist apologist or something.
