It’s the age old argument of “It’s not Communism that’s bad, it’s the human element.”
Speaking as if any system created by humans will ever be free of the human element, which is of course faulty logic.

I’ve contributed to the conversation by pointing out you’re a part of the problem, because you are. This limp dicked thinking is the reason liberals in the U.S. have been shifting further and further right these past 45+ years.
Had more been done to stop these people sooner, sure - we may have the luxury of not calling for people to die. We are running out of time, globally - and yes people like you need to get out of the way.
No, all of these people are telling you that you aren’t contributing to the discussion in a meaningful way.
These people are slowly but surely destroying the fabric of society and you’re sitting here clutching your pearls about murder? Shut the fuck up.
The answer is yes, they will lose a lot of money.
Well I’m pretty sure @krolden has you on principle considering the kind of person Dotcom is.
I can never really tell, truth be told. I just write them off as either being brainwashed or a bad actor. Same treatment either way.
It’s a type of person, not any one person. You won’t really be able to avoid them completely here. They’re the type of person who won’t shut the fuck up about how the U.S. is actually an authoritarian state and glazes the fuck out of places like China/Soviet Russia.
You will likely see for yourself what I mean.
Someone you shouldn’t interact with
I don’t care if you’ve read what I wrote, keep swallowing that poison lil’ dude.
I was like you once, and still find myself getting baited into rage-commenting.
You perpetuate the things you hate by being unable to let go. This post wasn’t about incels but you just had to bring them up, souring the mood. Worst part is that it wasn’t even a good joke. We’re talking low hanging fruit to the point of picking up rotten fruit off the jungle floor.
Hatred is a lot like swallowing poison and expecting someone else to die. Treat yourself better.
*for writing anything between a basic and intermediate reading level.
You seem to have missed me pointing out that countless other bad things have happened, which is the ‘orphan crushing machine’ point.
I mean, yes, but the only way you don’t see the implications of the headline is if you’re willfully ignoring them.
I agree, it’s nice that her kids and grandkids have a house they can live in. What about those 85 years she went without a home? That’s a shitload of time an entire lifetime, and what about the other people who have had horrible things done to them for horrible reasons? Who will receive nothing?
I’m with you, yes this is a nice thing. It’s not at all unhealthy to draw these conclusions from the story, however.
What does the even mean? Like what are you even trying to say?
I don’t think comfortable clothes will remedy that broken hip
If you’re reading this, just know that I will probably butt heads with you at some point. I can be abrasive, and I typically don’t censor what I think.
That being said, I wouldn’t choose any other social media. Lemmy makes me think of what the United States should be, disparate communities coming together to form a larger and stronger whole. I can be an asshole, spit my shit and have people discuss things with me in a rational manner - for the most part coming to a common understanding.
I’ve learned a lot about who I want to be from talking to and reading what Lemmians have to say. I will always appreciate this place.
It’s easy to feel that way even if you are a techy. It seems like being minimally neurodivergent is the abnormal here.
That being said, I’ve been introduced to many different ways of thinking that I wouldn’t have gained otherwise. Think of it like you’re different, but that’s ok because everyone here is different - and that makes them (and you) all the more beautiful for it (especially in the context of idea exchange). In fact, being the different one here will give you the perspective that many of the people who use Lemmy experience simply by existing which, in and of itself, is a valuable thing.
I’d certainly be interested to know for the sake of donations. I would gladly donate to keep the fediverse alive.
Makes it easier for someone to convince you that they know what’s best for you.
