  • Well said, Humans are social creatures, everyone wants to feel accepted and like they matter in their community. When you aren’t getting that, you get extremism.

    Like seriously, I despise the right, especially the people using it to influence and gain power knowing they dont believe their own bullshit they’re spewing. But we have to extend these people olive branches and try meet them somewhere or they will just go farther into their echo chambers. I’ve had a hard time putting that into words here on lemmy and its been frustrating bcz the sentiment around here is ‘the only good nazi isna dead nazi’, and then every MAGA person is lumped in that group (and for the record anybody reading this, I agree with the sentiment). But these MAGA followers aren’t the nazis, the leaders are, and the people in government. These are people who have been duped just like the rest of us. And we’ve all somehow bought it hook line and sink. This isn’t just fascism, its class warfare, and the billionaires are winning right now all around the world.
