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.

    What’s your opinion on regulations for companies?

      I don’t follow the 100% libertarian approach, which basically says, companies can do whatever the hell they want. (And, consumers vote with their pockets… etc…)

      If- that is what you were hinting at.

        Yeah that, it’s the one libertarian standpoint that I really disagree with so I was just curious

          Another, of the viewpoints I don’t agree with-

          Pure libertarianism- means no federal government at all. No military. If people wanted a military, they would pay a company for it, etc.

          I also don’t agree with that.

          I retain my ability for self-thinking, and also, conclude none of the popular ideologies are perfect. They all have faults.
