    As i signed up for this sub, I thought I’d be reading about technology. Actually, it seems that people here are more concerned about companies not sticking to the far left ideology, so naturally they call everyone nazis and fascists, without ever knowing what those words even mean.

    Just because someone doesn’t want to play the gender tip toe dance, doesn’t mean they’re nazis. But I guess that’s not something that this sub is ready to face.

      I’m with you on the “they’re not Nazi thing”

      I think Lemmy is being a space for targeted radicalization for certain groups.

      But still I think you’re wrong that we can separate technology from this political stuff right now. It’s not separate. Technology is the medium that groups are using to spread this stuff. It’s important and interesting to see how they’re doing it.

      Content should focus on the tech side of it. And also why be angry at the side that’s just trying to protect their freedoms here. If it wasn’t for the people trying to limit their freedoms, we’d never hear of this stuff.

      The issue isn’t people trying to identify as another gender. It’s the people saying no they can’t and then abusing their power and influence to do it.

        Sure, you can’t always separate the technology from the politics, my issue was that this is what most posts around here are about. I took a look and most content comes a few accounts, and it’s always about the “nazi this” and “fascist that”. Is that really only thing that happens in the tech space, what Musk said and what YouTube changed in their policy?

      Seems like you are getting downvoted, but I agree with you that nowadays people use words like nazi and fascist very loosely. I’m very sure that a large part of the people can’t tell what nazi or fascist really is without looking it on Wikipedia.

        Seeing as you apparently need someone to look the word up for you.

        Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

        Let’s see.

        1. Christian nationalism is a huge part of Trumps support group
        2. Cops target brown people to attempt to deport them and Trump pardons them for ignoring court orders to stop (Joe Apaio)
        3. Trump continues to deport people based on skin and looks without due process. Ignoring courts telling him to stop.
        4. Trumps America first slogan is eerily similar to Hitlers slogan.
        5. Trump is starting to isolate the US from the rest of the world (but curiously not Russia)

        But I do agree, they’re not Nazis, they’re MAGA. Their own brand of fascism.
