Since Trump, I’m finding the Lemmy.world experience to be increasingly akin to an echo chamber and it’s quite frankly starting to bore me. (Inb4, I’m a left winger and I don’t like Trump, but I’m much more interested in a good spirited debate or novel points of view than I am in Orange man bad Nazi circle jerks)

If I wanted the same repetitive comments to be upvoted and any different opinion at all to be downvoted and even blocked/banned, I’d have just stayed on Reddit.

Are there any instances where different, opposing and novel points of view are celebrated and debated rather than simply derided and downvoted?

    > Let’s imagine China arming and supporting Mexico’s opposition parties that align with China.

    if that happend I’d support mexico in it’s efforts to ally itself with china (if that’s what the mexican people want)

    > U.S would go into a fit and invade Mexico instantly. Same has been happening in Ukraine for a decade before the war started.

    you’re just proving my point here, Russia is just as bad as the US

    > You need to also take in account that Russia has been invaded countless times from western powers.

    russia in it’s current form hasn’t been invaded, except if you count ukraine, but russia invaded ukraine first

    > Russia’s geography is also mostly flat plains, making it easy to invade Moscow from the west. Historical context need to be taken to account.

    so I can shoot someone because they have an advantage and COULD hurt me?
