that’s what i’ve been saying for a while now. like a healthy organism that has both left and right hands, society too shall have both right and left people in it. that is not a problem. what is the problem is that these different parts are not communicating clearly enough and it’s causing dysfunction of society.
i remember reading somewhere we’re closer to bonobos than chimpanzees (behavior-wise); we’re the nice apes
actually let me think about it again:
IMO that somebody’s always hateful is typically a sign of enormous psychological/emotional stress. so that tells me these people have a lot of problems, and probably don’t know how to deal with the world. i wonder what education would do to them.
i suppose you’re also thinking that’s because we need steady output?
which is a fallacy; we had constant generation in the past so consumption adapted and became constant; consumption would not naturally be constant, it would be higher in the daytime.

oh yes i forgot about canada and greenland somehow, sorry
actually i meant in general, like apart from the current situation with trump.
proof?
i’m asking because i suspect that might be a fallacy; i remember reading somewhere that 10k years ago the first wars happened, before then war practically didn’t exist because war requires a minimum amount of organization and that just wasn’t there before.
i hope the quality stays up and i guess that we’re non-commercial might help with this; as we’re not pushing people to use this platform; the people here are people who actually want to use this platform and i guess that in itself could do a good thing.
i think if someone’s intolerant, pointing out that they’re wrong is something appropriate, but picking a fight over it is not worth it. it makes you like that person in that meme:
edit: in bad cases, report it and move on with your life.
people are very emotional rn because of everything that’s happening but i agree with you that violence for it’s own sake is never good. the discussion must stay positive.
something about that oily wetness lubricating the engine of thought.
you are surrounded! there’s dozens of us, dozens!
sexism does exist on lemmy but the algorithm is less aggressive about pushing rage-bait, so it rarely shows on the front-page. also, the people here are a bit more considerate, i’d say. but that is mostly because it’s a lot of nerds here (heheh).
yeah i’ve met some thorough tankies recently and wow are they annoying. just completely blind to reality.
well the good news is that everybody - and that includes the US - creates psyops all the time, so that makes it fair.
well i’d argue that setting teslas on fire is property damage, while slashing social security is murder or at the very least neglect of duties that led to deaths of many people.
it is clear that property damage is the minor damage of the two, according to contemporary interpretation of law.
about the guillotining:
same story. talkings about guillotining people is a reasonable threat when the alternative is to let the billionaires upend your roots and your lifes through horrible policy decisions. it’s an act of self-defence at some point, i’d say.
though i agree with you at least partially that the US is different than say europe.
in the US, the mindset of “hard work” is more far-spread, as it the mindset that people who don’t work, don’t deserve to eat. that’s just the US being the US i guess.
serious question but how do/could you formalize your rejection of right-wingers? what is it exactly that you take issue with?
i’m asking because i talk to a lot of people (also some who identify as “right-wingers”) and i’d like to know what exactly are the issues that bother people, so i can forward it to them. it would help me bring up better arguments if i know what other people are thinking.
so, i’ve collected the following list of things to take issue with so far:
tell me if i forgot something.
i hope the quality stays up in here and we don’t enshittify like reddit facebook and every other bigger internet network.
