People across the fediverse keep referring to wolfballs as the right wing instance.
I love all our right wing members but that has never been the case.
If you have not seen my Frog in the well video I think that explains our stance pretty well.
Did Jesus refuse to eat with the tax collectors? No, wolfballs does not turn people away because their "politics" are dirty.
Nor do I attempt to cull the post to fit a certain narrative.
Shit post however you want. Say what you mean, mean what you say.
Wolfballs is like Switzerland. We are neutral .
For this site being neutral is good. In actual life, where does that get us? You have say enough is enough at some point.

Personally I think forming your tribe is really important in real life. You need to be around people with similar values to not go crazy.
More like Liechtenstein... Like Switzerland, but tiny, qnd not many people have heard of you.
Someone on Saidit thinks not - Is he referring to the blacklisted communities?
I don't know what he is talking about. Nothing is even currently blacklisted. Its called hidden communities now. When certain content is super offensive I may hide it from people if they are unsubscribed. That takes a lot of heat off me.
And the more content here the less that will be needed. If the site becomes 95% Jew nose memes I have to do that kinda stuff. If its 80% not offensive content I don't really care.
My goal is always to work toward more freedom not less.
When we first started a few people came and would make like 20 communities called fuckniggerkikes and I deleted some of those. That's just spam.
I am neither left or right. I don't have much choice but to align myself with conservatives but, I also agree with the left on some issues. That becomes less and less as they become less "liberal" and more "authoritarian". I don't put any faith into any politicians. The globalist agenda is very real and corruption runs very deep.
I appreciate MOB reminding me not to let them push me too far in any direction. I am open to re-evaluating how I see the world and make changes as I get new information. Though, literally everything is very murky and the truth is less clear everyday.
The thing that pisses me off the most is that there are already set rules for being one or the other. Like, if you're left wing you want A, B, and C, and hate D. If you're right wing, you want E, F, and G, and hate H. Why? Why do people pick one or the other then accept all the rules? I'd say I'm more of a centrist purely because I can see good and bad things on both sides of the argument. There's no way anyone on the left or right agrees with 100% of their ideals. If they do, they're fucking sheep plain and simple.
I hate this too -- If you agree with a little they expect you to agree with everything, and many of those things have nothing to do with each other!
"You don't like spending too much money, right?" No! I hate that! "Then you agree that we should set up a Christian caliphate!" wut?
"You don't think we should let poor people literally die in the street, right?" No, you're right! "Then you agree that we should shame men to have sex with trans people!" wut?
Seriously, give an inch take a parsec! I'd prefer we think for ourselves and decide for ourselves what we believe in by ourselves as individuals rather than letting an ism choose for us.
I reject left/center/right and just say "I'm traditionalist." I don't care about modern political solutions or high-tech infrastructure. People pretty much get what you mean, whether they like your stance or not.
I guess to anyone who is nailed to the left wall or embedded into that wall, everything else is "right-wing."
It be like that sometimes
Everything right of Stalin is now "Right wing". Men are women. Penis can be a vagina. Words mean nothing according to commies.
Fuck, commie run dictionaries like Webster change the definitions in real time during presidential debates
"right wing" has been a cryptonym for "evil" for years.
Lol, epic troll idea bro. Love your username too
Institutional power is always corrupt. I've become more and more anarchist as this last year goes on. Just take it all down and revert back to tribal nations
I have many thoughts on this, but haven't been able to write it down.
I don't think you are wrong. I thought about this for several years, specifically Wikipedia. A democratic platform to share knowledge became a propaganda piece in just 10 years.
What happened to Wikipedia could happen to every alt tech platform that becomes too big. If we do not understand the mechanism and have anti-corruption from the grassroots, we will never be free of corrupt big platforms.
The Problem: How did it happen ? On Wikipedia on every controversial page, e.g. Project Veritas or AntiVax doctors like Robert Malone, several editors try to balance the extreme left and make the articles objective. But they are outnumbered by more active Leftists......
Why ? Most Lefty activists are sponsored by Diversity Initiatives, where govts and Big companies pay millions to create "Equity". E.g. Google spent 100s of millions into the extreme Left Vox media or the Young Turks, and similar extreme left propaganda platforms. They can freeload on this $$ and do full time activism.
On the right and center, there are no such sponsorships to pay good editors. The rational editors on Wikipedia have day jobs and families. They can't spend all day fighting these nuts. This is how everything from journalism to big tech to Wikipedia is corrupted.
Possible Solutions: Make it easier for general public to make a change. On Wikipedia the edits of a new user can be trashed by long time activists and you can be banned just like other censorship platforms. If new users had same amount of power as long time ones, and could not be banned, gate keeping would end.... very fast.
Every Astroturf, be it Soros/Gates/Google sponsored DEI, Russian troll farms, Chinese 5 cent army, can be outnumbered by real users, if there are no "Gatekeepers"
That is my proposal to solve corruption of platforms -> more democracy and free speech.
I still consider the Liberal government in Canada under Jean Chretien to be one of the best governments of all time. I still have most of the opinions I had back then, and more. I look at what's going on today and I remember the opposition to the war in Iraq from the left of the time that I could argue I was a part of, and I remember seeing the entire media establishment trying to shame people into supporting the government agenda and slicing people up into "us vs. them".
To me in reality, I don't think the opposition to the current establishment is right wing or left wing necessarily. It's freedom vs. tyranny. Taking the red pill is about escaping the systems intended to control us. The details of the specific tactics being used this week to control us, whether those tactics fall on the left wing or the right wing is immaterial to the broader strategy of control. It turns out that at the moment the right is more on board with freedom, but that can change in a heartbeat, has changed in the past, and will change again in the future. It's entirely possible we have times when there's nobody in our court because nobody in power thinks freedom will advantage them. It's also possible (and I lived through it) where someone will claim they're on our side then act entirely opposite.
Freedom shouldn't care what your specific ideology is, only that you're free to pursue it. I'll break bread with elements of the religious right, I'll break bread with elements of the socialist left, I want to agree disagree and debate, but only as long as it's understood that fundamental freedoms are non-negotiable.
I often wondered why they wanted all this control and money, and then i found out about "transhumanism", and realized that their goal is the elixir of life, they need slaves to fund the r&d.
Imo red pills save lives and minds. It's about waking up to the system of control the world has put in place. People are prisoners to the corporate brainwashing so rampant in our society.
I love that so any people are waking up. I think that has to do with media systems breaking down.
Wonderfully said.
As right wing viewpoints get run off of other sites, naturally then people that lean right end up at free speech sites making them lean right.
I guess they think if we get banned off reddit, then we disappear in real life.
Free speech sites don't have to be right wing, but most of their members will be.
They are driving us underground. I am not sure if it makes people more extreme or if those ones now have a louder voice.
Part of the insane thing to me is that what is considered "right wing" is so broad that you're going to basically drive everyone into the same team. At this point, the viewpoints that make you a "right wing extremist" would have made you pretty far left 10 years ago.
This is the right call. I am personally a Centralist myself. I don't care what your politics or anyone else is as long as they leave me alone. Can't we just try to get along.
They don't want to acknowledge that the people they label "rightwing extremists" are actually just people who were considered normal before 2015.
So they're saying we've got two right balls?
