    It truly is just regular people at the mercy of toxic dicks at either end.

    Feels like lemmy when you’re incorrect or seem to have an opinion that certain instances don’t agree with.

    Shitting on lemmygrad and lemmy.ml aside, appreciate you not being a dick and helping to correct my knowledge of the situation. Given what I now understand, my comment was in error.

      There’s a lot of emotion flying around with all this right now. It’s better to try to stay back a little bit. Even though that’s largely impossible. Because unfortunately outside of the everyday people, none of the other groups involved are innocent or good.

      And yeah even us socialists aren’t fond of leninists.

        I always find I get along better with socialists even if we aren’t 100% aligned politically. In the states, we vote alike, but that’s like saying we drive a straight line alike.
