Probably dictatorships.

In saudi (technically not a dictatorship, but an autocratic monarchy) corruption is so rampant and widespread that it’s not even suprising anymore. The biggest culprits are the royal family, so of course they’d make saudi cushy for criminals like them.

Also, the workers rights here are horrible, fucking SLAVERY is still legal.

Yeah, that’s probably true. Parliamentary democracy seems like a good tradeoff.

The presidential system is the most defunct form of democracy. Direct/parliamentary democracy is way better.

Honestly, i think comparing wars, invasions or genocides is kind of stupid. What’s the point of seeing who has committed more genocide/massacres? Both conflicts are completely unjustified in the first place. But people like OOP don’t seem to understand that.

It’d be like comparing the Rwandan genocide to the Cambodian genocide. They’re both genocides, and that’s bad. Doesn’t matter if one is more genocidal than the other. It’s all bikeshedding.

holy fucking shit, his comments are gold

Yes of course comrade. Suicide is counterrevolutionary.

Accelerationism. Literally everybody but them understands this is a fucking stupid idea.

This even happens every US election season, a lot of them think the worse candidate will bring on the glorious revolution™! and finally bring them a communist utopia. Never happens, because they do nothing to even advance their own cause lmao.

No no guys, i promise after 3,000 more years of a capitalist totalitarian dictatorship, we will finally transition to real luxury space gay communism!!!

Read theory, shitlib. /s

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 :)

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.

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!

I’m pretty sure we agree at this point. My end point was that it is in the hands of the instance maintainers and Xylight (he has agreed) and that is what you are saying here, too.

Good, but slow

After your first post, i’ve thought about your points, and i’ve changed my opinions a little.

I agree, we should replace the default lemmy UI as a whole. Out with it. But photon wasn’t designed to be a “default” UI. It was designed as an alternative.

The point of a default UI is to be as accessible as possible, yet still functional. That’s why most users on the fediverse usually use a 3rd party client (Including me, i use photon + raccoon on mobile). While the current lemmy UI checks the “performance” box, the functionality box? not so much. It feels like everytime i use it i am overwhelmed with information density, and the auto expand feature implementation is just bad. Photon does the opposite. It checks the functionality box, but scratches the performance box. Even on a modern PC, photon is choppy for me, and the frosted glass effect is not helping.

I don’t think we should have a default lemmy UI, as in, every instance uses the same UI. As i said in the first post, it should be up to the instance maintainer to choose their own UI. This comes with its own problems. Lemmy.world’s photon is outdated, and so is lemdro.id.

Ultimately, this is in the hands of the instance maintainers, and Xylight himself. He is rewriting photon for more performance, so my answer may change.

In my country, and today, somehow, astonishingly, this combination makes me what most would call very left leaning.

Let me guess, the US? The only people i’ve ever heard call liberals something as BS as far-left communists are conservative americans. The overton window in america is so ridiculous it’s hilarious.

Absolutely yes. Anarchists on reddit were largely only anarchist by name, and we don’t even have a proper community here. And anarchist communities on instances such as lemmy.ml are even worse, to be honest. Most political representation on lemmy is for authoritarian leftists, where’s the love for anarchy :(

I agree. I should have specified, i meant left-libertarianism.

They are? i’m not sure where you live, but most of the world considers them to be right wing.

There are many right wingers here, not conservatives. Liberals are right wing, and lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works are mainly liberal instances.

What rimu was mainly talking about are conservatives, or even far right users. So he wasn’t criticizing the whole right wing, he just used the term right wing to refer to those.
