    I mean I hate to be critical on a comm that doesn’t seem meant for it and I’m already in the middle of one longwinded discussion with folks in another part of lemmy so I dont want another one, but like…

    We also love purity testing our fellow leftists, and all kinds of people who absolutely pass the test of being nazis 😅. I think we’re kinda horrible at accepting even minor differences in political thought

      Politics is simply anything to do with decision making in groups. We should celebrate our differences. We need each other, as long as there’s tolerance. The flexibility allows us to meet new challenges. New ideas keep us fresh and nimble and helps us catch those who fall through the net. Authoritarianism, including Nazism is nigh impossible to collaborate with. We come from the wild, we are not meant for boxes. Living things cannot thrive while contained. While our differences are our greatest strength, our enemies will exploit it and try to divide us with it.
