The lemmy has been a hotbed of infighting and sectarianism for the last few month. We need to take responsibility for our own house, because if we don't, we'll keep on losing and failing in movements.

Perhaps we should first of all critically assess what we agree upon instead of skipping this incremental step for the sake of pointing out our disagreements. Because maybe that's what's causing this unsolvable divide is the a priori stuff that we have thoughtlessly agreed upon.

Ok question, what does everyone agree upon in the leftist servers?

uhh, anti capitalism, the basics of free housing, Leftist aesthetics, Climate action (but a little contention on how, but it can be respectful), there have been good discussions of history that have nothing to do with capitalism vs socialism, dunking on billionaires, discussion of African Anti-imperialism (I haven't had anyone who hates sankara), and that Avatar the Last Airbender is the perfect show.
