So who do you side with instead? The owners who are without a doubt corrupt?

That’s just false. Particle board is without a doubt less dense than actual wood.

Have you learned anything from these comments and responses you’ve gotten?

Like I need to know. I need to know if you’ve reflected at all.

This you?

Literally two comments ago you were making excuses.

The US has committed multiple genocides.

You were just indoctrinated by it’s propaganda to believe they haven’t.

That’s how it worked for me.

When I started college, I thought Steven Crowder was a smart guy (only because I was a complete idiot back then.) I would watch his debates and think he was so clever debating unprepared college students. Which led to debates with Vaush and Destiny in them. Which then led into deeper breadtube.

Now I’m more leftist than Destiny or Vaush from watching Noah Samson and the like. Noah is my favorite breadtuber right now.

Some people tried to replace capitalism with a totally different system and it went real bad real fast. This wasn’t an isolated incident. They tried it in a bunch of places and in none of them did it work.

What examples are you thinking of?

But this isn’t about services like Game Pass - these were bought games.

What?

The only options aren’t capitalism or total anarchy.

I teach middle school. During the school year, I heard it two dozen times daily.

It’s getting tiresome already.

Because they’re put in an economic system where if they aren’t - they starve.

My family became very Anti-Vax during that time. My wife and I had just had a newborn about a year in to the pandemic and demanded everyone get their vaccines before they got to be around the baby.

My parents didn’t get any and didn’t see the baby for a while.

Then when we did start seeing them, they had completely lost their minds. Blatantly racist, blatantly homophobic. Even when it wasn’t things political, it felt like they had forgotten how to properly talk to people in an appropriate way. My mother made comments about my DAD having relations with my wife and that the baby wasn’t mine.

I know they watch Fox, I know my mother watches a bunch of far right-wing YouTubers. All of it has led to them barely being functioning adults.

Right. And when the rest of everyone votes with the same exact mentality, what’s the result?

That’s a very individualist way to look at a national decision.

Because he isn’t the one that’s going to have to living in and running the world in another 20 years or fewer.

Because there are plenty of other choices that better represent the current and future population.

Because he was alive during a time that is so drastically different than the current world.

Because he’s ancient. He’s a half century older than the majority of the voting population.

I feel like I’ve seen a lot more posts in just the past few days since I’ve started coming here.

Hate towards beiefs is fine, and I think you’d even agree with that. Would you agree it’s bad to believe that a subset groups of people should be removed from the world? I would hope you agree that that is a bad belief and doesn’t need to be accepted.

But it’s also missing the point. Being gay isn’t a belief, it’s just the way someone is - just like race, just like gender. It’s not a belief like a political stance is.

They’re two different things and it’s not hypocritical to treat them differently.

I had an 8 year old account with a few hundred thousand karma, deleted it on July 1st once BaconReader went down.

Switching to Lemmy makes me want to participate even more and hopefully foster more people to join.
