There is no one universally right way to do activism. We need a diversity of tactics.

It’s not yet on Sci-Hub.

I can’t wait until more YouTube creators move to Peertube + donation platforms like Liberapay!

This is great news

That’s a good question. To be honest with you, I’ve come across critiques of tankies on .ml as well as tankie nonsense. I’ve also come across some progressive discussion as well as USA apologism on .world.

So in my personal experience (may differ from others based on what communities we frequent) I haven’t experienced so much tankie or American apologist content that I’ve felt the need to leave either community.

I agree with your sentiment that .world is left of reddit - as is Lemmy in general.

What I have been seeing is some users on .world coming across any tankies and wanting to defederate while seeing some amounts of pro-US imperialism on .world but ignoring it since (imo) we’re desensitised to it especially coming from reddit.

I do not find that tankies define the communities I frequent on .ml any more than pro-US imperialism defines .world.

You can be left-leaning while also not a fan of neoliberalism. :)

I take issue with both the authoritarian left and authoritarian right: being an apologist for Soviet Russia as well as being an apologist for the USA is not OK in my opinion.

I find it futile to take a position on which is worse because that just gives space to be an apologist for one that’s “less bad”. I see this happening in this thread right now.

Should I defederate from both lemmy.world and lemmy.ml? Of course not. In fact, I find both to be more tolerable and cooperative than reddit today.

That’s why leftists are prone to like it.

This has not been my experience speaking to leftists at all.

Thank goodness nobody is locked into any one instance. The beauty of the fediverse.

You have a skill, my friend.

Don’t feed the trolls.

We need a diversity of tactics.

Perhaps in the USA, which may or may not be true. But many of us internationally haven’t even seen the interview. Either way, !workreform@lemmy.world is more appropriate.

There’s !workreform@lemmy.world

That’s what was assumed decades ago when those subsidies began. We know better now.

To be fair, a country is a political entity or state. I read it as being targeted towards the state, rather than all people living in the USA.

It gets worse than that unfortunately.
