Lefties were totes being hyperbolic when they said the right would do political assassinations and we were headed for fascism. Totally. /s

If you can't tell, this is about the assassination and attempted assassination in Minnesota. The guy had a manifesto and is a right-wing creep who preached right-wing evangelism. Miss me with your "both sides" shit and wake up and realize where the bullshit and not wanting to vote landed you. How many more will have to be killed?

[(Anonymous)]

I think you are preaching to the choir here.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no I have absolutely seen maggots here.

[(Anonymous)]

Looks like Tim Walz appointed him on a committee, so now they're saying he's ours. Nevermind that it was nonpartisan.

[(Anonymous)]

Where did you get this information about the shooter? I haven't been following this as it unfolds.

Any up to date article should have it.

How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

Now I'm curious what people think because of the above thread.

How left do you think FS is as a whole?
How left is FS compared to the sites you usually visit?
How left is it compared to the people around you IRL?

HAHAHAHAHA

Oh man.

Lets put it this way... if only I had a helicopter!

Re: How left is FS?

Ok, tasteless pinoche joke not withstanding:

I think the comm is left leaning, but I think the obnoxiously loud politics addled car-screamers are really skewing the optics. I think in terms of named users, a lot of them keep their presumed lefty status in place as a default thing, just not overtly saying anything to draw the attention of the psychos. but probably fit between absolute centre, and centre left.

The anons, more of a balance, but again only the ones who WANT a fight will speak up.

So in terms of real life, maybe a little more left that real life.

Compared to other place I hang out significantly more left.

Compared to Bluesky, a good deal more right wing, but VERY MUCH on the DL with it.

Mildy center left, except on trans stuff where it is veering hard right and even into outright trans denial and trans suppressionism.

Re: How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

Lol

Re: How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly don't agree with this, I do see transphobic anons here and some conservative positions on trans issues, but I also see a lot of trans anons and a lot of support for trans people, and lots of people with positions that are generally left of mainstream. I would more say it's a mix of views.

Re: How left is FS?

Generally left or centrist. I think there are probably some quiet right wing people (the normal types) but there are definitely some extremes. I'm always pretty shocked when I see Trump supporters here, but I know we definitely have a few.

Re: How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not actually a Trump supporter, I just hate a certain person talking about their job all the time.

1. Compared to the average American: generally leans left. I don't think I've seen a true blue - or red, I should say - conservative in a while. I do see people assuming that because an anon in one conversation has one right-leaning stance - Israel, religion, abortion, porn, taxes - or because they have one good thing to say about a conservative politician, that they must then be a right-winger on all their stances and 'right-wingers' must be numerous around here... but I think that's generally not true.

2. FS is pretty center-left for the internet at large but the internet at large is more left than most people offline. Using Reddit as a comparison because it's the biggest, and they're kind of similar in that - generally speaking, specific subreddits not counting - and they're center-left in different ways about different issues that affect different people because that is a thing, as much as people don't like to get into it.

3. I'm in a left bubble IRL - major city in a deep blue state - with very veeery left friends so it's more centrist than people I know IRL. But people I know IRL also aren't from deep red states so the culture here is more mixed. It's not a bad thing to get other POVs.

Re: How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

Depends on how you define left. Left in the US is center right in Europe.

Re: How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

True.

Re: How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

Yup, had to preface my response with compared to Americans specifically.

Re: How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

Might be more fruitful to ask where you think most anons get their news.

I go to CNN, NPR, subscribe to the NYT free morning newsletter, and occasionally peruse The Guardian if I feel like self-flagellating.

U.S. American. I always vote Democrat. Pro-choice, pro-civil rights for all, pro Ukraine, hate Putin but not the Russian people, hate Hamas but also hate Netanyahu (and I hope the Israelis get a chance to vote him out of office), pro-two state solution for the Gaza/Israel situation, pro saving the environment & regulations on big business, pro-union and workers' rights, pro medicaid/medicare and programs that help people, anti-tax breaks for the rich.

I always considered myself progressive but am I actually just center left nowadays? I dunno. The meanings of words seem to keep changing.

Re: How left is FS?

[(Anonymous)]

I think more center with slight left leanings, especially compared to more right leaning spaces. But I don't think it's as left leaning as some anons seem to think it is.

Re: How left is FS?

[nanslice]

American leftist but more centrist than most of the places I hang out, both online and off.

So the parade was mostly a dud but I feel sorry for the Army people who are celebrating a milestone birthday for their branch.

And people on social media are ripping into them for their shitty marching, which, okay, as a vet, I found it kind of shitty. You had practice all week, guys!

[(Anonymous)]

I am proud of the Army, and sorry that they got dragged into an egotistical display. Personally, I think they were marching that poorly as a minor defiance against the current administration. Nobody I know was happy with being in this parade. The optics of it all sucked.
