    There’s a huge movement on Lemmy to split anything and anyone opposed to fascism. They’ll find any wedge they can to do so.

    Wonder where it’s coming from.

    It’s the same pattern as the original r/the_donald. At first it’s all artificial, but then you attract some true believers which can be used as cover.

      Because leftists and liberals have inherently opposed ideologies that cannot agree on the basic way to oppose fascists. A core axom of most leftist thought is that fascism is the end stage of liberalism. It’s the ideological equivalent of cows and chickens working together at a Chick-fil-A

      This narrative stifles dissent from anyone who disagrees with you. The Democratic platform attempts to reconcile a large tent of competing views. So we should not assume that criticism of “our side” is evidence of ulterior motives. We all need to demand more when we see our government failing so spectacularly.
