I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) - eviltoast

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.

    What exactly do you think happens to people that actually threaten capitalism?

    The issue isn’t “speaking out” about problems. The issue is people attempting to overthrow the socialist system. Capitalism disappears and murders those of us that attempt to overthrow it just the same. You’re allowed to speak about problems so long as you are not actively trying to overthrow governments while doing so (and being effective at it). If you’re effective you end up like everyone in The Jakarta Method, like Allende, or like Assange. The US operates hundreds of blacksites all over the world and yet people pretend that people aren’t disappeared for being a threat to it. The lack of self awareness is perplexing.

      I’m not saying the US doesn’t disappear people. It absolutely does. The threshold’s just usually a bit higher than in, say, China. China’s better at meeting basic needs for people at the bottom, and the US will usually only throw you in a black site if you actually foment revolution, rather than simply criticizing the government. It’s amazing how many people assume you have to pick an existing model to root for here. I repeat, I think everyone are bastards, and that we can and must do better.
