So, I’m more conservative leaning (European wise) but everywhere I go - the communities are usually filled with so much hate. That I just avoid it.
Is there any place that I can go where there’s not so much based on hate but more on actual discussions and such?
Though, I have been told that - European wise, it is considered more leaning to left in eyes of US. So bit confused.
Note; please keep it civil.
EDIT: Thanks for the responses (even the hateful ones lol), I got the grasp of what I asked. I’ll look into the suggestions that were made.
EDIT 2: I LOVE how some of you are saying that conservatives are so hateful and yet here you are. Doing the exact same thing. Quite cute and ironic lol! That said if it makes you feel better to spew hate on Lemmy go ahead.
I always thought that the “left side” were open minded and friendly but seems I was wrong, at least here on Lemmy. I suppose, Lemmy become Reddit 2.0. In that way.
The tolerance paradox applies to a purely theoretical situation, not to modern society where people have constitutional rights. All radicalisms are equally flawed and, personally, I prefer to deal with the “originals” rather than with spoiled youngsters who are pathetically trying to emulate the “tough” adults.
Well, I am a gray haired Gen X-er and fuck conservative fearmongering evil exploitative shit. The radical left youths warm my heart.
That’s a lot of words to say you want fascists in society.
No,I don’t want them. But they are there, though…
You let burglers into your house just because they’re in your yard?
No, but if the police can’t do enough, I install an alarm and defend my personal space. I don’t want to arrest all potential thieves beforehand because they have “thievous” opinions. I don’t want to argue online, anyway: your nested comment (with a parent that has gone down the list due to pagination) made me found a bug in a Lemmy client that I’m developing so I am really grateful to you 😂 Thanks 🙏
I have no thanks for you. But I’m not surprised there are mistakes in your work as well as your logic
Admitting one’s own mistake is a sign of intelligence.
Making too many is an indication of its absence
You’re sure you know it all and have an answer for everything. Good for you, go ahead like this in life and you will succeed.
I don’t necessarily want fascists to be in society, but they should have a right to be there as long as they’re not actively hurting others.
Their ideology is based on hurting other people. How do you not get that? They cant exist peacefully.
If you’re ok with them being here, don’t be mad when I lump you in with them.
If they actively hurt other people, then they should obviously be punished. How does my comment imply otherwise?
Their core belief is that they are better and should have autonomy over other people, how does that NOT turn violent?
Again, if they do turn violent, then you can punish them. What’s hard to understand about that?
So wait til they start killing people openly before we identify their ideology as dangerous?
We’re done here and you’re blocked. Either you have no place in this conversation or you’re being intentionally obtuse.

You illustrate my point. Whether or not an ideology is dangerous is besides the point.
That’s how the left exercises “tolerance” towards those of opposing views. Again, you illustrate my point.
Do you wait for a pedo to rape a child before doing something? NO! Someone is clearly fascist/pedo/nazi/racist/sexist/bigot they need to gtfo.
There’s a difference between thinking of something and doing it. Many leftists dream of punching conservatives in the face but only a few of them actually do. The ones who refrained do not rate punishment from the government over a thoughtcrime.
Pedophilia is a mental illness that one doesn’t choose to have. Pedophiles who haven’t molested a child deserve mental help, not to be ostracized.
The issue with the tolerance paradox is it gives way to thuggery once those with the most power decide what their idea of “tolerance” will and will not actually tolerate. That’s why we have a Bill of Rights. Call it intolerant, but name something that actually tolerates more (not just “progressive” or anarchist vlaues).
