"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.

Period.

If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.

There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."

      That’s clearly not a rational view.
      There are extremists and rational people on both sides of the political spectrum, and most rational people don’t associate with the extremists.

      Bucketing everyone who doesn’t share the same views as you into the same group as the extremists is just a way to feel right about your own beliefs.

      “There’s no point trying to reason with the monsters on the other side, they believe [extremist view]!”

      This isn’t a personal attack, both sides do it, and it’s a very common mindset in echo-chambers like lemmy.
      I just don’t think it’s a productive way of thinking.
