Is it though? Seems like there’s a lot of support for religious zealots (Iran & proxies) and imperialist authoritarians (Russia). Seems pretty auth-right.
It seems is key here. Lemmy is so left leaning that any case of such support is straight up glaring. Same even with more neutral things like patriotism - each time it’s out there, because it’s so different from the rest.
And then there’s few instances which flip it on the head from what I know…
My understanding is that socialists, anarchists, and others that might be considered “the left”, tend to love democracy. They love it so much they want to see it spread from government into the workplace. Governments that operate according to democratic republican* principals are not the enemy of the left - they’re part of it.
*note the lower case letters - not talking about political parties, but representative democracy as a philosophy

Its only alt right if you are left leaning
It really just a matter of perspective
A lot of that, I think, is because they share hate for western governments. Enemy of my enemy, I guess?
I’m not sure who “they” is in your comment?
