Well, I’m here to be rational and have a nice discussion. Maybe we can work through that?

If you don’t mind me asking: what do you ID as politically? Believe it or not we won’t ban you just for not being marxist-Leninist. We tolerate all sorts of liberals.

What do you mean by pronoun push? Hexbear had a pronoun field, yes. We respect the pronouns people ask us to use, yes. We are never going to force you to use or ID pronouns for yourself. Our site explored has “none/use name” as an option. I personally use the comrade option, because I think that’s nifty and wish it existed irl.

I don't really know what I identify as politically, but it's somewhere between liberal, libertarian, and conservative.

By pronoun push, I mean why even display it? None of that info really matters in an anon online forum

It matters to people like me, who are trans and worked very hard for our gender identities. In addition, it helps to combat the assumption that everyone on the internet is male; which can be really harmful for people who aren't. Also it scares people who aren't LGBT friendly.

How do you understand those terms? I get the feeling we understand them very differently.

As for the second part: we insist upon them being visible because that’s the only way to guarantee nobody is accidentally misgendered. We take the well-being of ALL our comrades seriously here.

If you feel similarly about taking care for those around you, maybe you should stick around a while and see that whatever you consider “communism” is mostly just truly caring about the vulnerable. That’s what we are here for, mostly. Caring about people.

Not sure what I'm allowed to comment, mods here keep removing my shit.

Ah well so much for all that

I've a question for ye, then, in regards to foreign policy?

is there such thing as the West, in political terms?

If so, is there also the Global South?

[-] Shake747@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

There isn't a general term for the "global south". But when I say Western you know exactly which countries I'm referring too.

South would probably either be "Latin countries" or "Sub Saharan Countries" depending on which side of the globe you're looking at

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

The West includes Australia et New Zealand, right?

[-] Shake747@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

Yes lol, West in this context is less of a direction and more of a political ideological culture
