I’d describe myself as politically “center-left” and I go on the streets against the far-right in my country… Not “left” enough for the lemmy community hexbear(.)net, I guess, which banned me for “facism”.
“Advertisement”: Go to hexbear(.)net if you want to be able to say “Death to Israel” or “The situation in Gaza is like the holocaust” without getting banned. No, you even get a lot of likes and no one will say anything against that. No one will share arguments against yours. Why? Because those people will instead get banned.
At least, I have an explanation now… There is no one arguing against what is posted there, because everyone who tries, is getting banned.

Israel is a settler state, so what’s wrong with the destruction of it?
You know… I think that the best that can be done at this point is: Solving this forever. It has been decades. Trying to destroy Israel is exactly the motto of Hamas and exactly the idea that hasn’t brought peace in the last decades and is also one of the reasons (not the only one) why the situation is terrible ATM.
There have been multiple attempts to attack Israel and the consequence was always death. Even more death outside of Israel.
IMO, the cycle needs to be broken. And IMO, this works only with government changes in both countries.

Holocaust does not defend the fact that Israel is a settler state
Holocaust??
BTW: I did not even argue against the settlements argument.
I see nothing wrong with their goals.
I think, the main difference between us is: I’m always thinking how a solution could look like. How to end this?
A solution works only with government changes in both countries and international pressure to get a 2-state-solution. That’s my point.
Correction: worst place to be a fascist. They are ruthless and rightfully so.
Anticommunism is always profascism.
There are also users who are too left to be accepted there
At this point, I’m not even sure what their interpretation of “left” actually means. But seeing so many “Death to Israel” posts with burning flags there was probably the most disgusting lemmy comments content I have seen so far. Maybe, I should block their domain in my router…
They’re not left; they’re Soviet conservatives. They LARP as leftists to sow chaos in the West
Well, that would explain why there were also a few “Death to America” comments.
Remember when I called you a cryptofascist infiltrator on your now-banned alt? Now you’re leaving comments like this! Fucking called it!!!
Yeah, going Israel on Israel won’t really solve the existence of antisocial tyrannical behavior in the world.
Here. 😔
One of the biggest things I got in trouble for was arguing with Zeizek/Nietzsche apologists and the thing that did me in was call out one of the admin’s crypto-leftism (that is, a brand of cryptofascism that I was on the front line for when it came out, where you use crypto to infiltrate the left) and the worst thing out of all of that is that they branded me as a reactionary (basically a Liberal) in the modlog when they banned me.
Also treated me like shit when I appealed, their behavior was so appalling that I actually picked up a supporter during all that. Basically what i’m trying to say is that lemmygrad is way better, have a lot of the same content and audience but way less cryptofash and baby leftist bullshit.
Criticising hierarchies and power structures within leftist or revolutionary struggles gets you there very quickly.
Well that’s how all communistic regimes are unfortunately. Nothing out of ordinary there
Middle left? Sounds lotta liberal to me
I’m from Germany.
We have more political options than just “conservative or liberal” here.
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.
Am I liberal according to that? yes.
Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views.
Am I liberal according to that? yes.
But this applies probably to most of the people, probably also you.
We have a German party calling themselves the liberals (FDP) and they fight for a more liberal economy, e.g. less control through the state. Do I vote for them? No. Too much focus on the rich…
So, am I liberal in the end? Depends on how you define it.
Maybe center-left is a better word…
