    Yeah, I don’t think any political viewpoint is free from people who just like their prejudices and attack anything that doesn’t match their prejudices. I wish it was different on the left, but sadly not.

    FWIW, I’ve had a lengthy argument and said some plenty unpopular things in a tankie forum on Lemmy and didn’t get banned, so we’re still quite a ways away from the conservative ethos. I feel like as long as there’s freedom of speech about it, the problem is self-correcting in the long run. Maybe.

    (I literally had someone on /r/walkaway tell me that I could say whatever I wanted, that they believe in free speech absolutism and exchange of ideas etc etc, and then when I went to reply to them, I couldn’t because I was banned. 😃)
