You live and are part of your nation and culture. The culture and life you’ve developed are in part, a part of your nation of origin. There are other nations that would be directly hostile to you regardless of your precieved association with your nation or not. You understand that, right? Like, I see what you’re trying to argue and I would love for the world to work like that, but it simply does not for a variety of reasons far outside of our individual control.
I am not trying to argue with liberals and this is why your instance is being defederated. I want to build a community of people that share my values and it is clear lemmy.world does not. I don’t think what you are saying is reasonable or true about the world and I definitely don’t agree about being a part of a nation. I swear no loyalty to any nation and I am against all oath taking. I do not think that a bot created by the American empire filled with algorithms I can never understand and that can be manipulated at any time without me knowing can ever be “good” or will ever protect me from “hostile nations”. I do not believe any nation represents my culture and I believe that nations only exist to exploit us and manipulate human endeavor to their own purposes. I do not live in either the nation I was conceived in or the nation I grew up in. People of my culture that believe they are represented by nations are called Zionists. They are fascists.
The world is what you make it. Some people though are so propagandized and live under such strict thought control they can’t even imagine anything different. The death of imagination is thought control. Because they can’t imagine anything else they will never work for anything meaningful or try anything different. This is why veganism will never work in a neoliberal society. Neoliberals are depressed and feckless, they would rather gaslight themselves then actually act so they will all live in the prison defined by their managing oligarchy until they die. Maybe every 4 years they exercise their political muscles by participating in elections which in imperial core are kayfabe WWE style productions of actual participatory government. This is really sad and tragic and the curse of liberals. I would feel bad for them but they are belittling, mean and then retaliatory. For example your “you understand that, right?” is belittling bullshit from someone I don’t respect and don’t want on my server. You are not the adult in the room.
I do not live in the same world as you, this is true. I make my own reality with my own community. Do you have the imagination to to understand that?
