Yes, thousands of years is a big overexaggeration. But I don’t understand why you would say, that you don’t see leftists come up with ideas to fight liberalism. People who call themselves left and people who call themselves liberal have been fighting long before the fascist party was founded.

I’m not sure if you are, directly criticizing me, or if that comment is more generally about the experiences you had. I have never even visited the US.

I’m sorry that you have to face all that racism.

Dude, liberals are people who support and idealise capitalism. They are right wing. It’s like that around the world. It’s not “talking like Americans”. On the contrary, people from the US confuse what’s left and what’s liberal a lot. That’s a nuance to be aware of.

Leftists come up with bright ideas to fight capitalist liberals since thousands of years.

Yes! These people don’t have strong enough opinions to change things, therefore they support the Status quo, which is conservative.

What comes to my mind is, that it’s great when people who work hard get rewarded, but that should only be an extra, not a necessity for a good life. And working too hard shouldn’t be glorified, there need to be limits.

People who call themselves centrist, are uneducated in regards to political terms. They don’t know what they are talking about, but assume they do and they never go out of their way to educate themselves on these matters.

Liberal is still right wing.

I don’t think a politician is left wing, when they value personal power, over the wellbeing of the people.

Yes, that algorithm is definitely way better! I’d argue though that people aren’t more considered here because they are nerds. Communities, such as the gaming and anime communities, are often one of the most misogynistic ones online. I think people are more considered here, because they are politically on the left.

I started using Lemmy just recently. I haven’t seen any sexism here so far. On reddit it’s a matter of minutes until something sexist appears on my feed, or other hateful stuff. That’s why I feel way more relaxed using Lemmy.

The left wing is against big private companies. Liberals are all about capitalism and the free market. These two ideology often get mistaken for each other, even though they actually oppose each other.
