I don’t know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I’m on lemmy.world as my instance.
Most of that shouldn’t be considered extreme. Yeah “eat the rich” style rhetoric is inflammatory, but the rest is just pretty bog standard leftist stuff. There’s far more extreme stuff on Reddit, on all the political fringes.
You’re literally proving their point. You’re saying “I don’t see anything wrong with this, it’s perfectly normal to me and I’m fine if this kind of thing dominates my feed”. Their entire complaint is how normalized this kind of rhetoric has become and how pervasive it is and your response is basically “this is fine” dog.
They believe in the q-anon child blood theft thing. It’s not rhetoric or hyperbole, they literally want to murder people. The ‘eat the rich’ rhetoric isn’t just inflamatory, it encourages people to actually commit violence, whether that’s what you really want them to do or not.
I’m not familiar with the q-anon blood theft thing, so I’ll take your word on that one

That’s what they’re referencing when they mention drinking children’s blood.
You sure? They specifically mention blood transfusion, which is obviously an actual real transfer of blood from the young/healthy(/poor?) to the old/sick(/wealthy?). It’s not clear to me whether “children” is hyperbole or conspiracy.
