    They’re not really much debate going on in this community. 95% of all posts are just “lol republican dumb Nazis” and every comment that’s not agreeing is downvoted to hell.

        Perfectly proves my point.

        This community is just “if you’re not “vote blue no matter who” you’re a dumb nazi”.

          Since I don’t live in the States, I’m not voting blue. But I still think Republicans are dumb nazis.

          Am I an outlier, or are objective facts tough for you to swallow?

              Nazi = Fascist. Trump= Fascist. Trump= Republican. Republicans= Fascist. Republicans = Nazi. We can’t wait for the evidence of mass graves this time.

              The point, which will always be lost on you, is that we see no reason to engage, or take seriously, an ideology based on lies, hate, and oppression—one that cultivates division, stupidity, and has zero actual redeeming values that do not involve restricting human rights.

              Nobody owes your archaic political views a platform. We—and I speak for the proudly ‘woke’ progressive leftists, who value the rights of others and believe in equality and diversity—are sick of your self-centred psychopathy.

              There are plenty of platforms for you to circlejerk with feeble minded xenophobes while sucking off your grifting conservative overlords.

              If you can’t respect the rights of minorities, the poor, the disenfranchised, then you have no value to me. You’re either conning others or being conned. That’s the extent of your “values.”

              You’re all just weak, scared little children who have the same capacity for self-reflection as a fucking turnip.

              Every argument is disingenuous; every political position is based on bad science and lies. And you still complain like whiney little bitches when you get shunned by the rational free-thinking majority.

              Go and wipe that drool off your chin with your Pauline Hanson flag, you mouth-breathing regressive bogan Nazi.

              Yes, point proven.

                You’ve mistake me for a republican and or a conservative. I’m neither.

                I’m against echo chambers and “my side and their views are right by default, all others are wrong” views. That’s what this community seems to be, unquestionably. Look at everything that’s posted - it’s all anti-republican/conservative.

                Again - your entire post just proves my point.

                  I’m a leftist, and I’m “mistaken” for a republican all the time. It’s projecting. A lot of what is accused of by my party they are guilty of themselves. They’re crazy if they don’t think their own rhetoric isn’t just as bad or worse than what Republicans currently say.

                  The brainwashing into being able to dehumanize others is horrific. Yet here we are.

                    The only person you’re fooling is yourself.

                    Also, “leftism” isn’t a party.

                    And I’m not dehumanizing anyone. They’re all human. Just very shitty versions.

          There’s always some right wing snowflake whining yet adding nothing. We’re all doing our part. You’re doing yours. Maybe you can make a joke about identifying as a helicopter now, and you’ll be done for the rest of the year.

          In most democracies you don’t have the toxic two party split ala US. There are intelligent conservaties, but the Republican party is … kinda wild.

      If Republicans ever quit doin’ nazi shit, people will quit pointin’ it out.

      There’s already too many places where disingenuous support for nazi shit is welcome: reddit, facebook, threads, bluesky, truth social, 4chan, twitter, youtube comments, and far too many more.

      Not everywhere has to be, and I hope the mods won’t be swayed by the constant insufferable whining of people who won’t shut up about how unhappy they are that everywhere isn’t stormfront.

        If people stop moving the goalposts on what “litteral Nazi shit” is, you’d find that most Republicans aren’t literal nazis. Are there some? Yes. Do they make up a significant amount? Not eve close.

          I’d say cheering when someone suggests eradicating a vulnerable minority is nazi shit. I’d say marching with nazis is nazi shit. I’d say carrying a nazi flag is nazi shit.

          Welcoming nazis into your party? That’s nazi shit.

          Trump got 74 million votes. They’re Nazis. They may not know it or admit it, but they are. If you vote for fascism, you are a fascist. Giving people the benefit of the doubt or a second chance is what caused Trump in the first place. It can happen here.

      “Crowds. How do they work?!”

      Start inviting your friends who like debating and/or upvoting disagreements. Otherwise a 10k user community will be subject to the particular whims of those users. It’d be the same if it were started and/or run by actual Nazis, but the other way around. Or lizard people. Or voodoo witch doctors. Or opera singers.

      Be the change you want to see in the world.

      I brought this exact issue up with the moderators of c/politics and they dont care. In fact one of the moderators (yoBuckStopsHere) is the top poster of all the tabloid articles that have little to nothing to do with politics. Hes trying to curate a community that vilifies one particular party. Its sad.
