Leftism
Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

You're going to uwu smol bean Tucker Carlson's legal avenues and then drop a "My gosh, my golly, I can't believe from whenst came these votes of the down persuasion"
Who cares if it's legal? Fash will break every law, custom, meme, and tradition to hurt one single more "'other"
My bad. Was trying to express "this must be illegal ∴ I'm surprised CBS would go for this", not "this must be illegal ∴ Colbert shouldn't have done it and Tucker's in the right."
And meanwhile, the earliest responses I got to my comment seemed to indicate that folks were downvoting me because they thought I was wrong about it being illegal.
At this point, I suspect the purportion of folks who downvoted me because they think I'm wrong about it being illegal versus those who downvoted me because my post did kinda sound like I was condemning Colbert for breaking "The Rules(tm)" might be around 50/50.
(While I'm at it, I'm under no illusion that the law is magic and there's an objective answer that isn't influenced by a complex intermix of corporate interests, politics, and the judge's own predilections to the question of whether it's "illegal". What I mean by "illegal" in this case is just that if a lawsuit was brought and it wasn't settled out of court, it's (IMO) pretty certain the courts would find in favor of Tucker.)
