And here I am having been accused before of “bothside-ism” when I said politicians flip flop-- on party or policy wise. Democrats do it but Republicans do it more. It seems that Lemmy forgot about John Fetterman and Tulsi Gabbard. But I don’t know, maybe because I came from a corrupt country and not surprised of any backstabbing and flip flopping. Maybe it is biased in favour of Democrats that some Lemmy users have ideological blindspot; or maybe it’s a first world problem when people can’t believe politicians turn.
Lemmy is way worse in terms of hypocrisy. Some people on lemmy say one thing, then there’s other people on lemmy that say the complete opposite. How can you ever trust anything you read on here when there’s no consistency in what everyone is saying? I think people that think lemmy is good have a blindspot that prevents them from seeing the terrible people I’ve encountered on here.
Though it’s possible, and this may sound crazy, that individuals within a group may differ in opinion on some things.

Why is it so weird to you that there is more than one opinion present on the internet? You could have seen that and concluded that Lemmy isn’t as homogeneous as you thought it was but for some reason you decided to interpret it as a conspiracy to deceive you. Not gonna lie, that seems pretty fucking crazy to me.
Kinda the point. A group of people (whether it’s an internet forum or a political party) are not going to be homogeneous. Anyone can join lemmy, and anyone can join a political party. Which means both will have all kinds of weirdos in the mix.

I’ve lived here all my life, and I see it. Unlike the child’s fairy tale noting naked emperors won’t win any popularity contests.
