Re Musk, it's about intent. He's been using "different opinions" under the pretence of "free speech" (and "democracy") as an excuse to boost fascist content on Twitter. It's cryptofash doublespeak.
But even fascism aside "you should be more open to debating differing opinions" still comes across as tone-deaf centrism.
In any case the implications aren't pretty.
As for defining fascism, with crap like "horseshoe theory" muddying the waters, as well as the general impression people have that fascism is some isolated evil from the past, there's ample room for doubt in online interactions.
Lol the fact that you think leftism is small and unified enough to be at risk of becoming an "echo chamber" shows just how little you know about leftism.
Liberalis generally are capitalists who think that capitalism is a "free", "democratic" and "equal" system. Some liberals think its flaws can be ironed out with regulation and reform.
Leftists aren't just socially progressive. They're also anti-capitalist. And no amount of "debating" is gonna change that.
Btw
Differing opinions are important and should be encouraged - hell this is one of the core principals of democracy.
sounds a lot like Musk lol. But least you unambiguously stated you hate fascism, even though I'm not really sure what you would even define as 'fascism'...
This is a very leftist online space. And proudly so. And it's not like there's a lack of disagreement among leftists. But any vagueries about having "controversial" opinions is gonna come across as fascist dogwhistling or at best liberal snobbery.
Lol who's saying italy is a fascist "place"? It's the current government which is fascist. The party flag literally has a prominent fascist symbol. Meloni constantly spews fascist rhetoric.
They're not telling anyone "how to think". They're telling transphobes and "trans sceptics" to fuck off. And who cares if they do it with a pinned post rather than a sidebar announcement? Some apps hide the sidebar in a menu.
Also when you say you opened a bunch of communities, do you mean you hosted them? Because those two women are literally running the server this instance is running on. Doesn't sound all that easy to me.
Right. Your point? That because many governments are doing it, it's not fascism? Or are you being sarcastic and denying that lgbtq+ (particularly trans people atm) are being targeted?
I can sympathise with the TV in your head thing haha, for me the music feels constant which can be nice but occasionally really annoying and distracting loops get stuck in there. I've found asmr to be a good remedy for that though idk how relevant that would be for the mental images side of things.
Also, I get all these ideas which I record/write down and... never really develop -_- feels like there's too much I wanna do and not enough time to really get into the meat of it :/
Even though you find number stuff in your head tricky how have you found algebra / calculus / the more abstract side of maths? Or more closely tied to programming, set theory? Maybe you'd be able to visualise the more abstract concepts well.
Are you an artist? I can imagine music pretty clearly (and I'm pretty sure I've got some tune looping around in there more often than not) but I'd say that's largely thanks to having actually trained that skill
