I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

      Centralized power is authoritarian. Authoritarianism isn’t exclusively right. In fact the right/left dichotomy is a simplification of politics that belongs in the stone age. People have different values across a range of issues, that often don’t fit a specific mold.

        I disagree 100%. The right is defined by the consolidation of political and economic power. Yes, every one has different values, but each of those values can easily be plotted somewhere on a scale depending on the way they favor decentralization/centralization. I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong or accusatory about that.

      centralisation of power is not an inherently right or left wing ideal, and some of the largest left wing communities on the fediverse are practically or outright authoritarian

      the centralising power thats being opposed being a profit oriented organisation does make it more of a leftist thing, though still not exclusively

        I’d say it is the definitive distriction between left and right. These concepts mean things to me on a vacuum. Show me a “left wing community” that is authoritarian and I’ll show you a community that isn’t actually leftist.

            Ok but if you want to discuss politics with me in any way, which you seem to want, your need to know what I mean when I say words. Maybe get out of the kitchen?

              you misunderstood the previous comment, it was me clarifying that i am no longer interested in discussing politics with you

              Maybe get out of the kitchen?

                And yet here you are. Isn’t that convenient for you? Just fuck off of you don’t want to talk, this isn’t an airport. You didn’t even say you didn’t want to have a discussion, you just didn’t want to get into sensitive.

                  im uninterested in getting into your definitions of left and right

                  your definitions of left and right are not sensitive to me, i just do not care

                  i am even less interested in being on the receiving end of your tantrums

                  your tantrums are not sensitive to me, i just do not care

                  have a good night

                    I don’t care if your interested in semantics, they were necessary to the discussion YOU OPTED INTO. If you now don’t want have that conversation, fine, but don’t pretend like I was ignoring your request to not have it, because that’s not what your said. Framing it as a tantrum while you table-flip is rich. Since you don’t want to talk, I look forward to this being the last word. If you want to keep talking, you know what to do.

                    Have a good night
