A dot point list would have made this more readable. Just saying.

How people can walk out of a university with degrees and not understand how all areas of knowledge contribute towards each other and link together in ways that are not immediately obvious astounds me.

Or you know, we could plant trees…the original carbon capture device.

Nothing backs US currency?

I’d argue the US military backs the US dollar.

I’ve already blocked Lemmy world and I’m OOTL what happened now?

Did you check the Modlogs?

I hope the TVs make a recovery.

There are only two tried and true methods I am aware of to stop fascists:

1. Killing them
2. Making them kill themselves

I’m going to enjoy seeing this comment get removed. I’ll think about it as I’m put on the train to the death camp.

The Supreme Court currently has a majority of batshit insane constitutional originalists.

They are most definitely capable of doing this.

They just have to divine some batshit insane constitutionally originalist argument that justifies it.

Night of broken glass comes first.

Wait for them to loot and pillage “immigrant” owned businesses.

This won’t embolden white supremacists at all…

You sound (mostly) libertarian.

Thanks for the explanation though.

It’s shocking to me that so called respectable journalists can work for major news outlets and not know that they serve the interests of capital.

This is stuff taught in university for anyone that pays attention to the likes of Chomsky.

This person was wilfully ignorant and shouldn’t be celebrated for doing the bare minimum; not being a mouthpiece for vested interests.

Not sure I agree as it seems like black and white thinking.

I.e. I could imagine a scenario where someone is very obviously/admits to using neopronouns disingenuously and that would break my social contract with them to honour it.

If I make an assessment of neopronoun usage on a case by case basis I can still avoid witch hunts. It’s similar to how I determine in real life if someone is an asshole or not.

Another way; I can support a person who I genuinely believe uses neopronouns while denouncing and excluding someone who doesn’t.

My preference is for completely community moderated platform.

People essentially vote for content moderation. Likely susceptible to gamification but I’m still interested in seeing it in practice.

Is it still invalidating when someone using neopronouns is doing so disingenuously?

Mods will always be a problem.

I’ve yet to encounter a well adjusted human who voluntarily mods.

This sounds like some kind of an enlightened centrist take.

Educate me though, can you briefly describe your political philosophy?

Conservatives can quite frankly go somewhere else.

Their policies are terrible and the only redeeming qualities of most countries we live in are socialist.

Lemmy should reflect the actual political spectrum which is (IMO) Social Democrats on the far right and Tankies on the far left.

This was pretty much what set me on the path to radicalisation.

The system felt so unfair and then to learn that there were people who could do exactly this just because they were born into a family with large capital it was infuriating.
