In our analysis, we aim to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the Decentralized Web, pointing out the double-edged sword it represents in terms of promoting democratic discourse on the one hand and enabling extremist content on the other. In doing so, we call for a more nuanced understanding of the impacts of Web decentralization and the need for innovative governance mechanisms that safeguard against the proliferation of extremist ideologies while upholding the principles of freedom and democracy that are the basis of the Decentralized Web.
Whoever these researchers are, they've discovered that people on the self-described Marxist instances are communists. Well done! And they want to shut down the proliferation of tankie views alongside "anti-Zionism" and "anti-Semitism". Seems like there may be a bit of an agenda here that goes beyond disinterested academic research.
I am a communist. I don't like MLs because they make communists look like the american propoganda version of what a communist is.
I feel similarly. They're useful idiots and counterproductive. But they kind of take care of themselves because no one likes listening to them. Even people who are attracted to socialism or communism don't like them. It doesn't feel the same as the situation with fascism today, where it seems to suck people from all over the spectrum into its vortex.
I honestly don't understand how you come up with this summary. But assuming you are upholding universal human rights as most of us do, we shall stand united, as the study suggests, to "safeguard against the proliferation of extremist ideologies while upholding the principles of freedom and democracy".
If you uphold universal human rights you have to be anti-Zionist. I have no idea how you can argue otherwise. Zionism is a genocidal settler ideology and fundamentally incompatible with universality.
They're mowing down aid seekers. They target doctors and journalists. They're starving children to death. They bomb hospitals, schools, bakeries, everything needed to maintain life in Gaza. They're tearing down olive trees and destroying solar panels and bombing water treatment facilities. Their goal is total ethnic cleansing, either by relocation or extermination.
This is the logical conclusion of Zionism.
Zionism is Manifest Destiny is Lebensraum.
Moreover, this study uses the Zionist definition of antisemitism. Antizionist!=antisemitic. Also, Palestinians are semites.
Sorry, I was jumping to conclusions and that wasn't fair. I respect the goals you have and agree it's important to be alert to trends in online discourse.
Lemmygrad isn't left wing. It's authoritarianism with a different way to take people's money.
