Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.

Watering down language is part of the right wing platform. I think they actually want to be seen as nazis so the term is less powerful. On the other side, they are calling everyone groomers to water down that language as well.

I’ve had people in this thread say that I advocate for genocide.

I don’t think the right are the ones watering down the language

Maybe you should do more research instead of advocating for then.

I know what the word ‘genocide’ means. The left just misuses words all the time.

I don’t need to ‘do more research’

Sorry, this is the case on both sides. I’m a leftist, and I see it happen from my side all the time. Deflecting and claiming only Republicans do it is ignorant or blatant gaslighting.

I’m called a nazi sometimes from people in my own party. It 100% happens.

You know your political views are truly independent when both the left and right accuse you of siding with the enemy.

I’m all for saying both sides are bad, because they are, but I’m guessing you either did something to warrant being called a nazi or found a cringey liberal to argue with.

Hell, “gaslighting” itself is a good example of this phenomenon, and it’s mostly on the left.
