"Why are trans people in every government’s agenda now? And not for the good. It’s how much? 0.1% of the population? Just leave them be! Why no one seems willing to tackle cost of living, housing, or healthcare? Is our society really as doomed as it seems?"

"Vladimir Putin, Conservative Icon"
"The Russian president is positioning himself as the world's leading defender of traditional values."
By Brian Whitmore
December 20, 2013
"Vladimir Putin is calling on the conservatives of the world to unite—behind him."
The Kremlin leader's full-throated defense of Russia's "traditional values" and his derision of the West's "genderless and infertile" liberalism in his annual state-of-the-nation address last week was just the latest example of Putin attempting to place himself at the vanguard of a new "Conservative International."
The speech came on the heels of the appointment of Dmitry Kiselyov—the television anchor who has said the hearts of gays and lesbians who die should be buried or burned—as head of the new Kremlin-run media conglomerate Rossia Segodnya.
And just days before Putin's address, the Center for Strategic Communications, an influential Kremlin-connected think tank, held a press conference in Moscow to announce its latest report. The title: "Putin: World Conservatism's New Leader."

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but check the instance they're from.
Hexbear tends to have the largest community of communists that don't believe Russia is doing anything wrong even if they are "attacking" America. They use a definition of fascism that is more centered on corporate subservience and oppression of people outside of the country for said corporate interests, that isn't exactly wrong, it just leaves them in a state where the US has always been bad so our "recent" cries of increasing fascism seem laughable to them as we've "always been" fascists.
Our relative silence of the treatment of people within and outside of the country for generations, as well as the general support for the capitalist system that has exploitation inherent to it makes all "liberals" fascist to them as we've supported the status quo for so long until it started getting uncomfortable for "us."
I would imagine they see fox news and MSNBC as the same kind of laughable nonsense.
But they don't see their own Lemmy usage as even worse than Fox News and MSNBC. Every audience lives in their own egoism. We have a world-wide failure of [email protected] literacy. Almost nobody has been taught or understands Neil Postman's 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves to Death". [email protected]

You're definitely right about seeing fox and MSNBC as laughable nonsense.
Literally no one on hexbear thinks Russia does nothing wrong, Russia is a capitalist nation too. The problem is with westerners blaming Russia for their own failures, as if Russia caused the US to be conservative, like OP.
The US committed a genocide of hundreds of different Indigenous groups, enslaved them and people from an entirely different hemisphere, put Jaanese people in internment camps, sterilized gay and trans people, and has the largest slave labor population of the world righy now. America has always been fascist because of what it does domestically, not to mention what we do to other nations
