historically illiterate, rage-bait nonsense that thrives online because it’s emotionally satisfying, not because it’s true.

That pretty much sums up Lemmy. Much of the rhetoric around American history and politics is based on feelings.

I’ve said it before, the way things are presented are indinguishable from right wing rhetoric. The only difference is the goal. It’s all emotional dogmatic nonsense with no space for disagreement. Conform or be downvoted for wrong think.
