  • I was going to answer that Mexico as it once was, from current US southern states to Panama. Then, the northern US states, Canada, and Alaska could be their own tranquil cold lands.

    Maybe even a division by old territories and languages so that Bolivar’s dream came true. From old Mexico (New Spain) to Cape Horn (or whatever the southernmost point lies). I cannot say that country would have been better than the USA (in terms of atrocities, wars, etc.), but I’m still curious.

    Also, Brazil not imposing Portuguese to their citizens. They used to speak a criolle language, if I remember correctly. If a kind Brazilian reads this, maybe they can correct and explain it.






  • This only applies to people left from centrism (progressivism, anarchism, socialism…). “Wokes”, “liberals”, “tankies”, I’ll put them all as leftists in this text.

    What is your least favorite thing about the Fediverse or Lemmy?

    Lemmy. That interest in politics and critical thinking in general end when we arrive to topics do not concerning the life of the average lemming.

    News about technology? Oh, yes, capitalism is wrong and Google is ruining this and let’s do that… Feminism? Meh. Antiracism. Anticolonialism. Humanities defense? Whatever.

    Of course, why would women or POC or the third world or non-STEM things would interest a bunch of first world STEM white men? Empathy or congruence with leftism? What’s that? (sarcasm)

    And it’s tiring that you see how much time they spend talking about U.S. politics or online privacy, but not a thought can be put when you point out a non-privileged problem. I’ve even seen people get downvoted for saying something they posted or said was problematic.

    In my region, leftists often separate completely from these spaces because of this. I don’t want to, I like it here and, overall, my experience is positive and enriching. But yeah, this is one of the worst aspects of Lemmy in my opinion.
