    This is bullshit

    Trying to pretend that there’s a concerted far-left effort to create civil war in 'Murica is patently absurd

    Sure, there may be a handful of nutters, but they pale in comparison to the number of far-right who are actively lusting for the blood of the people they hate and fear

      It also tries to downplay political division “in real life”. In real life, the American president is a fascist serial-rapist pedophile directing a masked police force to deport legal residents without due process, illegally deploying the national guard against citizens, and grifting shitcoins and accepting bribes in plain sight.

      Yeah fuck this post. The only ones driving it are the far-right. You’d have to be ignorant to be blaming liberals for the crap going on today.

      I think that the Tankies are not left, like at all, but there is absolutely a concerted and even state funded operation to create any and all destruction and violence that they’re capable of causing.

      Idk man, I spent altogether too much time over in .ml, and now my view on what is “far left” has changed quite drastically. And that group certainly seems hell bent on starting a civil war.

      There are absolutely far more MAGAs, but the tankies are, unfortunately, still far left.

        Bruh there’s like a triple-digit number of tankies in all of North America lmao. Meanwhile half of the USA is MAGA. If you need to visualize this, go look for literally any act of violence motivated by far-left beliefs. There’s what, like two in the last 30 years? Claiming any sort of equivalence between MAGA and the left is just false.

        If you think lemmy is immune to outside agitators, then you’re kidding yourself

        I’m certain that there are interested groups trying to whip up a few lunatics so that “the left” can be pitted against the right, and blamed for violence, but there’s no doubt that there’s a far larger audience of people in the US who are eager to lean into fascism and spill blood when they are encouraged
