Most people dislike that everything is being dragged down for profit margins instead of taking care of humanity

Because capitalism is burning the earth down for profit and if nothing is done we’re all dead soon ?

I feel like the right is so damn far to the right, that everyone else appears to be on the left.

Honest answer the right doesn’t seem to have any good positions now. They are against fighting climate change, against tolerance, anti-science, and they speak of fiscal responsibility but instead of tax and spend they just spend. They are way too much into mindless defiance and dirty politics. And they are the most hypocritical “do as I say, not as I do” party IMO.

To try to give you a genuine answer, perhaps because 1) Lemmy is a left leaning environment generally, 2) if you’re American, because the majority of the western and 1st world countries are dramatically more left leaning than the US (I live in Canada, and your democrats are more right wing than our main right wing political party)

Because a lot of tech culture is based upon the idea of sharing things with people, of enabling others, of bringing down barriers, of helping other people reach their potential. This is why open source communities are so prevalent, and even commercial tech offerings are sold to us with these ideals.

And all that is antithetical to many right wing policies, which are often about creating barriers and unneccessary limitations. Like DeSantis’s Don’t Say Gay laws. Or the defunding of community services like educational institutes. Or placing barriers on voting.

Because there are far more unemployed, basement dwelling neckbeards with enough time to whine on social media that everything wrong with the world is because of the Right.

“Because we are all correct” seems to be the prevailing answer.

You expect an honest response here, the very place you’re talking about?
