I’m just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There’s been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.

Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?

I’ll start; I’m anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.

      Care to expound on why? I haven’t seen anything too bad, nor extreme. Just opinions that dinner might agree with, others might disagree with

      The Internet has always been weighted towards the fringe. Normal people have better things to do with their lives than tell strangers their political opinions. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
