Allowing racists and fascists a seat at the table under the guise of 'fairness' or 'free speech'. Reddit became polluted with far-right astroturfing in the last six years.
It is not tolerance to welcome those persons who seek to harm you.
Iβll counter and say that calling anyone you disagree with a racist/fascist in order to feel superior.
That shit was rampant on Reddit and seems to be slowly creeping into Lemmy as well.
Lol never mind, I guess itβs rampant here as well.
I've never been called either in nearly 12 years on Reddit (and being plenty active with ~120k comment karma).
Maybe if you often get called that you should re-evaluate your opinions?
Yeah, same. I think they doth protest too much lol
You are a fascist.
Itβs easy to blend in when you blindly follow the narrative.
As if there is ever one "the" narrative. We're all following narratives, brother.
brother I got called a racist for saying a football (soccer) player who happens to be black is shite
and football fans are way less trigger happy with accusations of racism than americans seem to be, even if they themselves are american for some reason
Wow there's a lot of weird baggage in this comment.
are you doing what the other guy that is getting downvoted is talking about? π€
or wait did i misunderstand
Not in my experience; you just have to interact with the right people and they'll sling those accusations around like mashed potatoes in a food fight.
