That's the charitable interpretation. The less charitable one is astroturfing aiming to further destabilize "the west"

Yes! Their positions and actions are suspiciously very demobilising.

No unity even in the most basic stuff. No willingness to hold a constructive conversation. Things have to be done in their way or you're labeled an enemy. Doctrine above humanity. Incessant nitpicking.

How do they intend to build socialism if they can't even have an honest, good faith conversation?

A "leftist" earlier this week told me that Joe Biden is responsible for Dobbs because it happened in 2022. That's a cosplaying Republican. The red hat will be back on his head end-of-day November 3rd.

It was crazy the amount of red scare shit circling when I started on Lemmy. It was like they were trying to radicalize people by pitting them against the "crazy leftists."

God, please never let McCarthyism make a come back. What a waste of our time and energy.

The problem is there are crazy "leftists" on lemmy. Your instance defederated from the instances home to the worst of them, so you probably didn't get to experience it.

Imagine people the adhere to some of the worst parts of right-wing fascism, but with "leftist" branding.
