Wait. You mean spreading conservative idologies like xenophobia helps conservatives to be more conservative?

- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The propaganda coming from the left about immigration isn't helping the issue either.
Refugees system was set up for something exactly like the Ukrainian war. Most people in Europe agree with that. They are neighbours, they have a lot of cultural simularities, they are literally at war and the come over for safety. But that system is being abused and people are using it as a means to migrate. Those "refugees" come over, don't integrate have no interest in going back to their own country ever. They are just exploiting the system, that is the issue most people in Europe disagree with. But the left love to scream racism at the top of their lings when anyone points out any issues with that. The inability to open dialogue about that without the left closing it down as harsly and aggressively as possible isn't helping because it groups all issues together.
Equally the migration system has been set up for some similar countries can share labour forces, and expertise can be transfered around the countries as well as capital. It is the idea that free trade makes everyone richer. The problem is that's being exploited by the upper class. They are using that to reduce training to new staff and instead hiring overseas workers on a lower wage who are forced to deal with the crappy conditions. The local labour force has reduced wages, reduced on the job training and more unemployment. Sure GDP and even GDP per capita as an average might being going up but it doesn't mean everyone is benefiting, it's just a system to funnel money to the top with lower wages and higher rent and the lower classes struggle more because of it. Until the left can have an open and honest dialogue about that nothing will get fixed.
Yea the right are fucked, but when the left does nothing then they aren't helping the people either.
