I’m just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There’s been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.

Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?

I’ll start; I’m anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.

    Remember when the compromise was safe, legal, and rare? Now people practically use abortion as birth control.

      Hey, go out and speak to people with uterus, because they aren’t using it as birth control.

      Really. No “hard facts” out of that. Your worldview is so distant from mine we can’t hold a dialogue.

      Just go out and speak to them.

        Looking at the stats from the CDC about 16% of pregnancies are aborted. All I want is for there to be less people proud of having had an abortion, or at least for less people to find that stance appropriate.

          As I said. We can’t discuss. Don’t try. Just go out. Not against you but you’re too terminally online rn.

            It’s not that we can’t have a discussion. It’s that you won’t. Just because I am not in a group does not mean I can’t have an opinion.

              Yes, because I know it would be futile to discuss to someone with a deturped outlook on reality in such a basic level.
