You know what's an even bigger community? The hegemonic ideology of liberal imperialism. It's literally the biggest community in the (Western) world.
The size of that community is counter-intuitive. Liberalism, as the ideology of a system that atomises society, validates any attempt at fracturing communities. This is one reason why they're in love with quintillions of ideological labels to describe people's inclinations just right. The result is that person A feeling B's 3% titanium tax goes too far and B feeling A's 3% titanium tax doesn't go far enough won't feel in a community together.
I was just thinking the same thing. Wouldn't you get a bigger sense of community just taking up the liberal point of view that takes up, I don't know, the entire mainstream media and rest of the freaking internet, including most of Lemmy, has?
No, it's just some people like to read up on real facts and can't delude themselves when they compare those facts with what their eyes and ears show them is happening in Gaza.
It's not like this is an easy community to be a part of either. There's a lot of history and "advanced struggle sessions" that an average Internet user is not going to be able to partake in at all without months of lurking the site and consuming off-site materials (theory etc)
Looks down at the unopened copy of "Superimperialism"
"I'm not getting paid enough for this"
Don't be silly, the dominant world-view that surrounds them is obviously non-ideological
It's bigger and more widespread, but I think maybe that comment contains an admission: hegemonic liberalism sure doesn't feel like a community
It's also a textbook case of them trying to psychologize issues that have no business being psychologized.
Liberals and "everyone who exists outside of the worldview i was taught as a child does so because they're fucked up and crazy in the brain": a centuries-long ideological romance
Doesn't really have a sense of "community" though, it's more about everyone constantly trying to get one up on everyone else and fuck everyone else over to get ahead.
A community of 500 million is hardly a community at all
