    Based on all the weird downvotes in this thread, it seems Lemmy might be losing its taste for subtlety.

    Threads criticizing neoliberals always get a suspicious amount of downvotes relative to the amount of rebuttals. It’s almost as if the people doing it hate your criticism, but can’t articulate any reason you’re wrong.

      Nah, folks that are center-left are tired of the same out-group/in-group games. Not far enough left? Then one is practically in bed with fascists. It is tiresome, and plenty of folks are weary of laying out the difference in lieu of having meaningful discussions.

      Even your own comment has the whiff of conspiracy where it need not be.
