Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.
Western supremacy and bloodthirst. Any non-Western country can get bombed, destabilised, sanctioned to death, etc., and only because these people have no morals or simply don’t care about anything as long as they have their drugs and their burgers. 😑
In the context of the current imperialist war by America and Israel on Iran? Obviously, everything else being equal, the Iranian soldier.
First time anyone’s ever asked me that question, hehe. It would be my pleasure! 😅
I didn’t check but “dissenting opinions” can easily just be manipulative disinfo that will direct the least intellectually competent one way or another. No, takes that are close to reality are valid and useful, and attitudes that are prosocial and virtues are the only ones worth having, everything else is incomplete/trash.
Idk what you said in those online spaces, I didn’t click the links, honestly, so don’t think I’m coming for you personally. But two things are not the same just because they’re in the same category (sure, poop IS edible but it’s not the same as spaghetti bolognaise), and takes and attitudes aren’t all worth the same, and I’d rather have a “closed community” of diverse righteous folks sharing things competently truthfully than have to share it with amoral beasts and the offensively mentally challenged.
I LIVE MY DAY AS IF IT WAS THE LAST
Either that one or “Dance Monkey”. Just the musical equivalent of testicular torsion.
The “circus” part of bread and circuses.
For what it’s worth, I appreciate your contributions. 👍
White supremacist ideologies also offer well-defined structures and rules (just don’t look into them too much!). But yeah, miss Greta is a good example of autistic righteousness, and I love to see it.
Ofc, who would I be if I weren’t? 😁
🙄
I’m tired of seeing this nonsensical argument too often on Lemmy so here it goes:
Ofc. I love some things about Kanye, the things that make his music just straight bops and his lyrics so fun and ridiculous at times, and I hate other things that are not related to his art. I know his weird anti-“Semitic” (Polish/Ukrainian people are not Semites but Anglo/Western cultures find any reason to hate other people, lol) rants are off-putting at the very least but I don’t know what that part of him has to do with “Flashing Lights” or “Guilt Trip”, they’re completely unrelated.
Now, when the art is a reflection/in praise of the artists’ ideology and takes, and those are morally and/or intellectually fucked, and you liked them, then that certainly says something negative about you. You can love or hate that one painting by Hitler and it would say nothing about you, but if you enjoy Mein Kampf you’re an immoral dummy, certainly.
Probably the safest bet, even if it’s annoying. Have you decided on a destination?
Goddamn. I’m sorry for your loss… Stay strong, I’m sure your mom would be proud of you handling all of this.
The fact they’d say it out loud without understanding what that would entail is what would make me think they’re probably in the spectrum. I’m not saying they would be Machiavellian (if they’re saying it casually, because some YouTuber covered it this week and the “Dark Triad traits that make you irresistible!!!”, and without any convoluted reason for how this could help them reach their objectives, they simply couldn’t be), just comically socially inept to the point that a diagnosis might come in handy.
They’re probably neurodivergent.
I meant it. And I’m sure you have valid reasons to support/like your own corrupt and bloodthirsty leaders and policies before these folks, lol. If being a “centrist” means you support the status quo of Western dominance, you’re just a shy “right winger”. Regardless of these somewhat nebulous labels, countless innocents have died and continue to die to feed the American empire and the Western war machine, you simply can’t be a good person and support the status quo.
I don’t really see the widespread racism you claim exists here, with Lemmy being one of the least racist Western online spaces I’ve ever been in…
And idk what you mean by dead. Compared to what? I feel like I see the same usernames pop up often, because we have a community of regulars. I don’t think I need it to be more “active”, and it certainly beats the more bot-infested “larger” online communities.
Also, if you really dislike the “leftist” population/takes on Lemmy, why don’t you just go back to Reddit? Like, in earnest, they have a lot of uhh “right wing” stances and all big subreddits support the American empire and silence anyone who disagrees. Just make a new account and resettle there, it’ll be more to your liking!
I’ve bought my friends meals and given food in charity (I don’t cook that well), I don’t consider that “too fast”, that’s just regular prosociality. You already fucked him, that’s the fast part, so idk how much “faster” you can go, lol.
Tenderness. Where is the tenderness? Where is it?!
Mmm, maybe originally or theoretically, but not in practice. At least not online, or not in Lemmy. Usually what I’ve seen is the word used by someone who can’t accept the realities of Western supremacy and American imperialism and feels your “criticism” and moral judgement of it is too harsh.
No bully island Germans!
