There's a contingent of power users/mods/admins that range from neoliberals to social Democrats/reformists, and view anyone more radical than the Democratic party/Bernie as red fash.

That does include anarchists if you have any heterodox opinions about Ukraine or refuse to engage in their red scare propaganda. they have been doing a smear campaign about the "tankie troika" of Lemmy servers for a while now.

They even have a snark comm for exactly that.

The only person I've encountered waving Stalin flag at a protest said they were a Maoist when I asked

red scares have been a global phenomena, not one isolated to the US. Pointless red baiting in response to what Trump being a fascist is about what I've come to expect from Bernie, the guy who can't call it a genocide.

Declassified CIA documents from the time even say that Stalin was not so much of an autocrat as commonly mythologized.

Oh yeah, my experience is using it with asthma, particularly aggravated by exercise. Reducing hyperventilation actually helped reduced symptoms that persisted despite being otherwise well controlled on medication. Unfortunately you're right it did go trending at some point so there's all sorts of harmful bullshit out there.

I learned to do some Buteyko breathing techniques, which uses this principle as a way to help some chronic conditions.

My main takeaway was to focus on nasal breathing, controlled breathing patterns, and reducing over time the amount that you inhale unless necessary to operate.

I have been to several indivisible rallies, it's almost all old white people fired up about who loves America the most holding signs for people in cars. distress I really don't get what the plan is for them.
