I’m not saying it’s not those people, they’re definitely a large part of it.
But conservatives are definitely on Lemmy. Just try talking about minority rights anywhere and watch them seep out of the cracks in the pavement to suck all of your energy out.
I think anyone defending the American ruling class and the Palestinian genocide is conservative, whether they like conservatism lite or full on fascist conservatism, it’s still conservatism.
But the full on fascist conservatives are definitely here too, they just know to cloak their attitudes in hidden language. Any attempt to point out racism, misogyny, homophobia or any of those things that’s been casually accepted will get a certain small group of people really pissed about it. I’ve definitely encountered some men’s rights activists.
It’d be foolish not to expect it. They explicitly do entryism on “normie” forums all the time. It’s a stated strategy of theirs.
What’s funniest to me is seeing all these posts having downvotes.
Conservatives mad and their tears are delicious.
Schadenfreude has never felt so good.
Or they read it as throwing shade on Biden for being nothing but “Not trump”
Which would be fair. The shade for running on being the least bad option twice, not the downvotes.
It’s not conservatives. Conservatives aren’t on Lemmy.
It’s the majority of Democrats who now believe Israel is committing genocide. And who can’t afford housing or groceries

The only attacks on minorities that I’ve observed on here are attacks on those who think Gazans should not experience genocide.
Plenty of people on here who simp for the American ruling class though

Plenty of people here who think Palestinians aren’t being genocided.
They still definitely are being genocided through ethnic cleansing almost like what happened to the jews during the holocaust.
But there’s plenty of people on lemmy that believe this isn’t happening and fully support giving Israel all the weapons they want.
Not as many as I thought I’d get tho, they must be too busy finishing their collage of trump for the next rally.
