    The problem with that view is that it is idealistic in nature - government, by its very nature, will always become corrupt.

    I wish it was just “towards the left”.

    I’m very much on the left socially and left of center economically, but even I feel like every other comments section on here reads like some insane tankie commune.

    All systems: Government, Market, etc, should be regulated assuming corruption already exists.

    Because one way or another it will reach that point long after you’re gone, if not before then.

    All types of government will have some form of corruption, but I’m not sure how a “free market” ran by people who follow the philosophy that companies only have the responsibility to answer to shareholders will generate wealth for “many.” Unless you’re advocating for trickle down pissonomics?

    I hadn’t experienced hexbear (literally) shitting up the place yet, has a way to block entire instances been implemented or do I gotta find a new one that isn’t federated with them?

    My experience has been the opposite. I’ve found that the majority of users tend to lean towards neoliberal and center-right ideologies. I guess most of them are probably American, so their warped worldview has them considering these ideologies as ‘left-wing’ instead 🙃

    Keep in mind, you are posting this to lemmy.ml, so I don’t know what you expected… Maybe something like this would be better recieved on lemmy.world or on your account’s instance.

    I’m actually very centrist; I don’t want to eat the rich.

    After all, I’m a vegan and think that anyone involved in the meat industry should be put in jail.

    So, dead center. That’s me.
