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.

    I view freedom more about living without fear rather than doing what you want, which often leads down the don’t give a rats ass as long as you aren’t terrifying others over it.

    Maybe someday libertarians will increase in the upcoming decades 🙂

      That would be nice.

      BUT… everyone is all too busy picking sides (between the left, and the right, ie, liberal / conservative)… despite both sides eroding away freedoms, and blaming the other side for all of their problems.
