    I would assume the top answer would be "fuck capitalism" with a sprinkle of "lmao"

        Liberalism is defined by support of capitalism, the two terms can often be used interchangeably.

        You're looking at anarchism, communism, democratic socialism if you're opposed to capitalism.

        Though experience tells me a lot of the people going "fuck capitalism" just want the capitalists and politicians to be a little less greedy and give some more crumbs to the working class within the imperial core.

    I think majority here is left-sided. I personally am right/ conservative (European wise).

    However unfortunately, most of the right-side communities are filled with hate and thus, I avoid it.

    Overall it'd probably lean toward the middle of the left side, with no strong leaning on the Authoritarian/Libertarian axis.

    Very few people on here that aren't to the left of Blairites or Establishment Democrats. Quite a few Marxist-Leninists, but not a majority. The few right-of-center people here seem to be either Euroskeptics or ancaps who somehow still believe any alternative from the corporate mainstream will be mostly used by ancaps.

    I'd prefer if Lemmy was a safe haven from politics and ideologies but people just can't help themselves...

          The sad fact is you can't really escape politics and ideology since they literally permeate everything. The closest thing you can do is make something as appealing to mainstream audiences and thus as close to the stuff most people agree with, but... Liking the status quo is still a political statement at the end of the day.

          Let's say you're talking about a character in a movie who always goes out of their way to help people. That would be palatable to most, it's a very widespread worldview and value. But even then, a segment of people believe that you shouldn't help people if it doesn't get you anything (What's in it for me? Sort of mentality).

          In that situation, the person claiming you shouldn't help people for free would rightfully be labeled an asshole, but the point still is that even something as benign as that makes a statement in a conflict between an altruistic ideology (It's good to help people!) Vs an egoistic ideology (I need to get something for my effort)

          This is obviously a very simplified version of how deep politics and philosophy affect all interactions, but I hope I managed to get my point across!

          Have a nice day, stranger!

    Multiple groups.

    A lot of normal-ish people, probably the majority.

    Fairly large tankie instances of hexbear and lemmygrad. Hexbears are insufferable, but lemmygrad users are fine.

    Small amount of conservatives. Not a ton, but I think we have critical mass.

    The key take away is we actually get along for the most part.
