Tbh, whatever pops up on lemmy for the most part. I'm right wing, it's pretty easy to follow the left and lurk the news communities.
Although, it's not being persuasive, it's more disgusting and horrifying that my fellow human beings think these ways.
Ahaha, I glanced at this earlier before diving into work stuff and thought you'd have a lot more angry replies to you!
Among a lot of folks, I'm the crazy liberal hippy do gooder but I gotta say, a good amount of Lemmy kind of worries me. Though, I suppose I attract the crazy by having the temerity to explain or defend Conservative positions, even when I disagree with them.
In the spirit of this post (understanding the other side's perspective), could you explain what thoughts you consider disgusting/horrifying and why?
My main thing is the illegal immigration thing. When the left says they need illegal immigrants to pick crops, what comes to my mind is 1850s American south, with slavery. The south claimed they needed slaves to pick crops, and now it's being echoed by the modern left wing.
If farmers paid good wages, they'd get workers. And I'd rather pay extra for ethically grown and harvested crops. I already do to some extent.
That is kinda fucked up isn't it?
