Happens all the time here. I do on occasion show solidarity and go down with the ship though.
Oh yeah? Fuck you!

I usually jump in and the guy who was getting cooked abandones ship.
They abandon ship because they realize that if they are agreeing with someone as terrible as you are then they are probably in the wrong. /s
Going against left populism on Lemmy.
If the left could incorporate populism, it could gain popularity. It doesn’t need to be nefarious, just easier to grasp communication is also a form of populism.
Lemmy’s issue is more about right-wingers pretending to be left.
what’s the difference of left and left populiism?
Populism is essential having an ‘anti-something’ agenda without acknowledging nuance.
It’s not
Okay… but it is.
Look at this fuckin populist
Populism is basically about simple solutions for complicated problems, and blaming every problem on a certain group of people.
From the right, the most prominent example is immigrants, while from the left, it’s mostly rich people.
Centrists just blame wealthy immigrants!
Centrists blame everyone for not understanding all the complicated problems.
“You see, it’s a spectrum. Yes I’m a fascist, but I’m an equal opportunities fascist.”
I blame society.
well not all but most of our societal problems comes from their decisions, so i get it.
Or those problems come from us and they just represent our own flaws, like a good representative democracy should do.
except its not really us being represented up there. we just choose the lesser evil they put up to us dont we?
Is the majority of your country really better than its representation?
yes, take for example taxing the rich. majority of people want it, most politicians wont even touch the subject. at best they will lie about it and then not even try.
there are many many other issues like this, just took the low hanging example.
yeah, immigrants really are destroying our planet.
i think your joke went over their heads
Seems like it
That’s not what I read in the dictionary. Is that one of those things that the right twisted to mean something else, or…?
No it’s just something the above idiot made up.
Good to know.
Anything with populism is bad.
Oh please. The libs on .world downvote actual leftist thought every chance they get. Since that’s the largest instance this is becoming more like reddit every day.
Word
Fucking Hexbears couldn’t keep it in their pants and now I have to hear morons ramble on about how landlords are useful sometimes
Oh please. This is quickly becoming a lib cesspool.
Yep.
What? Don’t be a bitch and jump in
This post needs a comma. Or a period and the omission of “and”
The omission of “and” .,
There you go
I suggest taking their opinion, dialing it up to 11 and then bailing from the convo.
Now this is a chaotic evil I can get behind
Right up there with when you step up for someone who looks like they are struggling…then they befriend the enemy and they both turn on you.
