I keep seeing people comment that Lemmy is mostly men in their 20s and 30s. That’s not my demo and many of the posts/comments i see don’t seem to fit that.

    As a “lefty” (and I kinda think the way political views are classified is bullshit) Out of everything you’ve listed, I only outright disagree with two points. Those being the abortion and trans opinions. Everything else I more or less agree or at least sympathize with.

    Like I think having a healthy distrust of the government isn’t a bad thing, especially when that government isn’t holding up its end of the social contract. Likewise I feel human rights and individual liberties go hand in hand. I do feel you can go overboard in either direction, like having failed state chaos in Somalia, or having a totalitarian dictatorship in North Korea. In the end, I feel the perfect country is one where the government is strong enough to support the needs of its people. But not to the point to where it can trespass on rights and liberties and enforce its own state religion or ideology.
