I agree with everything here. Do I need to move to a different instance?
No, this is the democratic far left wishlist, which I think is core lemmy. Good luck getting it done. Once you step over that line, you may want to find another instance.
lemmy.world is not far left by any stretch of the imagination
Not far left, democratic far left. I’m no talking about leftist, I’m just talking about the lib left.
I don't even think Lemmy.world is far left within the context of the Democratic party 😭
According to the upvotes (which isn’t totally accurate since I upvoted from Midwest.social, but all the true leftists and maybe the far right instances have been defederated), it’s about a 70/30% split of people who agree with these democratic far left ideas.
Where I disagree with you is your labeling of "far left", not whether or not this list is popular here
Far left.. Ahahaha.
Capitalism has really done a number on these poor Americans, the right wing have managed to push the compass so far in their favour that even a lot of the most basic items in this list are considered "far left" to them.
One prime example of the extremes of propaganda within the US has to be the mass opposition towards unions (which has thankfully began to ease in recent years.) I could never comprehend why so many people would argue against having a union to protect their own rights as workers. it was bizarre to me.
No offence to any Americans that read this. But I've done my fair share of arguing for you over the years, and some of the opposition I have come up against is just completely bewildering. Almost like some sort of capitalist Stockholm syndrome.
capitalist Stockholm syndrome.
That infused with the idea that anything that isn’t capitalism is socialism (which might as well be communism). It’s like we’re afraid to leave our abusive financial system.
You are, and that's by design, as the core of your country from the education right down to the media and pop culture, all revolve around the financial system, designed to keep the wealth in the pockets of the few while everyone else argues over the same pointless and divisive issues that are pushed every single day. It happens in most countries, but the US is the best example due to how transparent it all is.
Thanks for writing this up, but you don’t have to convince me. 😋
