Whether it’s economic, cultural, political, religious, ideological, whatever, what are some ideas that you believe in? I think friendly (very important!!) discussion of these could be good as to understand the views of others. Pluralism and the acceptance of many beliefs is generally a good thing.

As long as you don’t believe in implausible conspiracy theories or say anything that is listed on the rules of most Lemmy communities and instances (in which case, don’t say it), I think the opinions of others should be respected!

Please don’t devolve this into a hot political argument, holy war, or similar. It ends badly for world powers (all of them), and it will end badly here with no winning sides. Friendly debate is ok as long as you don’t go nuts, make sure you give good supporting arguments with evidence!

    lol lemmy doesn’t care that it might be because of depression or trauma, or even simply because of a well-reasoned position. They’re so hopelessly conditioned by political talking points that they will write you off without even trying to understand. Sad.

      Based solely off face value of the person’s initial comment. It’s the judgeyness after ‘making the world a better place’ that I found interesting. I’d prefer someone to be neutral than someone ‘doing good for the world’ and being cunty about it lest the action and attitude cancel each other out lol
