        When I was a very young adult, I believed that for a bit. The idea thay the truth lies between two extremes was reinforced for me regularly growing up. I “heard ‘both’ sides” because I falsely believed they both had a kernel of truth. I felt incredibly smug about being immune to the things others fell for

      I think they meant that they do not follow any one political ideology or worldview. Which I guess is fine, as long as they still have reasonable responses to the issues they see around them.

        but how do you follow no one

        like I get what you’re saying and I’m just being a bit coy here but if you follow no one you would have to go out of your way to tailor your thoughts to be contrarian compared to great thinkers of the past and present

        it’s just a bad way to look at your own ideology even if you do genuinely process a lot of this information independently. all of humanity’s greatest work is a collaborative effort improving what came before. if you’re ignoring what came before, you’re just leaving holes in your ideology to be exploited.

          It just means that they have no idea what they’re talking about, don’t know any of the ideologies in any detail and can not place their own politics appropriately.

          99.9% chance this person falls into one of the ideologies extremely clearly but they’re simply not politically active or educated enough to know.

            Absolutely. The “best” you’ll get from people like this is knowing what policies democrats and republicans claim to support, and they think some are good and others are bad. Although even then a lot of the time it’s shit like “I’m pro life but I don’t want to impose that on other people.” or “I’m pro education.”

          They did, but they only nuked suspected spam sites, since the .ml domain was packed with those. Technically they could still revoke lemmy.ml at any time for any reason but if they didn’t do it in the initial wave I’m not sure why they would now.

    @jackmarxist@hexbear.net

    If you’re here, please put a question about “was General Dessalines’ decision to kill off the remnants of French slaver class in Haiti a genocide or not, regardless of whether you agree or not with the action?”

    Then we’ll hear of them kkkrakkas complain about white genocide, when they search up that based purge… lmao

        To their white surprise, the Haitians would kill thousands of slave owners and define a new term of the era, named ‘Haitianism’…

      Made an ask Chapo about this the other day and was told although the devs are communists, ml is for Maldives and the domain was given away for free at the time.

      Marxist-Leninist was definitely a conscious choice though.
