Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn’t sure if [email protected] or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

    Every time anyone mentions on Lemmy right wing positions it is with only to attack a strawman version

    It would help if you would be more precise. You are using a “feels like” statement here, which I have to disagree with b/c it is objectively false: all it would take would be to find a singular example wherein it was not true, at which point “every time” is shown to be invalid.

    But often that does occur, yes. Sometimes our choice of wording can impede rather than aid in understanding?

    And I say this as someone who seems to be more often misunderstood than not, go figure :-|.

      I’m sure a counter example exists, but I’ve been around for year and not seen it yet. Though I’ll accept that the exception probably exists.
