However I find myself being disagreed with quite often, mostly for not advocating or cheering violence, “by any means possible” change, or revolutionary tactics. It would seem that I’m not viewed as authentically holding my view unless I advocate extreme, violent, or radical action to accomplish it.

Those seem like two different things to me.

Edit: TO COMMUNISTS, ANARCHISTS, OR ANYONE ELSE CALLING FOR THE OVERTHROW OF SOCIETY

THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN’T MEANT FOR YOU.

            Okay but you are ableist though, which reads as pretty liberal. Unless you are somehow a monarchist or fascist on lemmy? Which is funny for other reasons.

              Yeah, I’ve been trying to get better.

              Uhhh what?

              Unless you are somehow a monarchist or fascist on lemmy?

              My country is an actual monarchy. Almost everyone is a monarchist. Not me, but it’s not directly correlated with ableism, other than people in general being garbage.

                other than people in general being garbage.

                The idea that most people are fundamentally broken and worthless is probably correlated with ableism.

                  I mean, there are more things at play here than are obvious in my comment, but you are right that it’s not a great attitude to have.
