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.
The universe appears to be zero sum and I try to balance a non-dualistic perspective with a healthy dose of practicality… for now
I hate nobody more than anybody else, I blame nobody more than anybody else. We seem to all be equally victims and perpetrators swimming in this trauma soup.
For many things, I’ve become like a national geographic cameraman observing from the bush, though for now, I will step in and stop human brutality if I see it… I don’t know if I always will.
I’ll continue pondering, and make changes as needed.
I mean that’s not like a national geographic cameraman. They don’t stop shit when they see it.
