My intent was not to cause division, I originally meant to clear things up for the user I was originally replying to, but things quickly descended into arguing about semantics. I agree that we should all work together to eliminate the rising threat of far right, fascist parties worldwide. That is what we should be focusing on.
I'm tired over me bikeshedding, So i'm just going to forfeit out of this argument.
Have a great weekend
How could you improve something that is already perfect?
Anyways, outer worlds is also awesome, still a win
Seems that I am not as educated as you on liberalism. I focus more on socialist ideologies rather than liberalism or other ideologies, So I'll give this one to you.
Have a great weekend :)
I wasn't conflating. Conservatives are not liberals. But they are both right wing. (at least, classical liberals are)
And there is more than just class warfare, i agree.
But so what? why does it matter that they are right wing? not everyone has to be a communist.
The term left and right are very ambiguous to define in the first place. Some people argue that leftism is anti-capitalism. Some argue that leftism is just belief in equality. They are all right. Same thing with the right wing.
The whole left and right label is very ambiguous and hard for me to define. I agree liberalism is an umbrella term for a variety of political ideologies. I was mainly talking about classic liberalism, while it seems that you are talking about social liberalism. Social liberalism, at most, is center left. So is social democracy. I was mainly thinking about neoliberalism, and such.
Pretty uninteresting. I've started reading I have no mouth and i must scream, and started playing gloomwood, too.
Both are amazing. That's all i got.
Jesus fucking christ. How cold is it in sweden???
In Saudi arabia it's like 30 degrees here and even that's enough to make me freeze. You don't even have the sun? I'd immediately freeze to death.
Liberalism is against most things that the right wing of the political spectrum explicitly stands for
I'm assuming you're talking in a US perspective.
Leftism describes a spectrum of political ideologies that seeks to minimize hierarchies and desires to achieve equality and egalitarianism. Liberalism is a pro-capitalist ideology, and capitalism is hierarchial and is unequal. Thus, liberalism is right wing. Progressivism isn't related to right or left wing. You can be a communist but socially conservative. You can be fiscally conservative and be progressive. In the US, being left wing or right wing is mainly measured on how progressive, or if you support social programs (a little leftist, but still can be right wing, just center-right). Liberalism is right wing. Conservatism is far right.
Photon is amazing, and I use it daily. I love it. I'm sorry about the users in the comments that don't understand what "subjective" means.
Thank you for all your work, and keep doing what you're doing!
Don't be rude, they can't help it. They have a natural instinct to talk about US politics, even if completely unrelated. They are victims ;(

What's the deal with loops? i have an account, and it's buggy, uncomplete, and not even open source/federated (Yes, i know it will be) But why release it so early? it's clearly unfinished.
Arab here. The number of Arab users on lemmy is probably in the double digits.
We badly need a proper community of our own.
