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

I'd say it's not, but a society in which public sex (or public defication, for that matter) was acceptable is not that far a reach. Classic Rome had potty facilities where people sat adjacent to each other and conversed while they pooped into a trench of running water to wash the refuse away, a noted precursor to modern plumbing.

The US is particularly conservative when it comes to dress codes, where girls are evicted from schools for wearing sleeveless shirts (in contrast to boys who are allowed to wear sports jerseys). In contrast to what was happening the seventies, US society is far more easy to offend, and dangerous when offended, so public spaces are more prone to covering their bases. Hence nudity in classic paintings has to be covered up on YouTube.

Nudity is not something I have an issue with. I have no problem if someone wants to walk down the street nude. I just don't think absolutely everything should be acceptable to do in public.
