The issue is who decides what kind of behaviour deserves that kind of treatment.

It inevitably ends up harming the wrong people in the end.

I can understand the sentiment though.

Yeah, that’s where the left-right concept kinda breaks down.

It feels wrong to say the USSR wasn’t left when you consider the many left policies they had and of course their origin.

I also agree with your idea of what left-wing should mean. I guess there’s no way to avoid complexity with topics like this.

Oh, Lemmy has fascists now.

The left wing was cutting public services, right. Famous left wing policy. I think you’re thinking of liberals.

You’re free to be super duper racist, sexist, ableist, pretty much any kind of discrimination you want. Isn’t that enough?
