There are MANY center-right communities in the fediverse where you are allowed (even encouraged) to defend things like genocide, imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, US-style "democracy," and those who support them. This is not one of them.
- No Discrimination, this includes usage of slurs or other language intended to promote bigotry
- No defending oppressive systems or organizations
- No uncivil or rude comments to other users
- Discussion, not debate. This community is exclusively for genuine logical debate, any comments using whataboutism or similar will be removed.
- No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities. Anyone that supports the mass murder of civilians will be banned.
These guidelines are meant to allow open discussion and ensure leftists and post-leftists can have a voice. If you are here to learn, then welcome! Just remember that if you're not a part of the left (Liberals don't count) then you are a visitor, please do not speak over our members.
On a philosophical level, I'd like the same, but I've seen what happens in communities that allow certain groups to take over.
Also, I personally live in a place where I'm constantly fighting for my existence, so I need a break from that fight to maintain my mental health, and I think a lot of others do too. For example, I know many people who've been oppressed by our nation. I feel like we all need a space to discuss without constantly having shit flung at us.
