You didn’t declare absolute fealty to the ideology, news sources, and goals of the left. Nor did you even spew caustic hate at any other ideologies.

Therefore you are bad.

Downvoted.

ironically, this leftish area has caused me to go from thinking the right was terrible and the left was good to realizing there are really annoyingly aggressive people on both sides. I generally can’t stand oppression, so I am naturally on the side opposed to antiLGBTQ oppressors, racists, and sexists; which causes me to fall on the left side. But, now being in a leftish area a while, I dislike how the sheer vilifying and mob mentality disrupts calm logical thought. I will get downvotes for saying this (and that’s exactly my point), but, for example, if I were to think a policy of trump or elon was smart and good, you know there is no way i could mention it without 80 downvotes and constant personal attacks. If Trump liked gummi bears, saying ‘thats cool gummi bears are good’ would instantly result in 40 people yelling how terrible Gummi Bears are… because Trump likes them.

So lemmy caused me to go from leftist to instead having a distinction between respectful, nonaggressive people and those that aren’t. I would value a respectful, wellmeaning republican that I can have a meaningful conversation with (even if I disagree), over an aggressive lefty attacking any hint of an ideology other than their own.

i only believe even numbered things i hear; so a full half of things I hear I don’t believe.

I think the “jealous europeans” part shouldn’t have been said. advice: Don’t say you or your country are better than others.

I literally joined sh.itjust.works because aggressive people are my weakness. If I post something with good energy and someone attacks, I’m not a brawl enjoyer; I go straight to kill mode. I considered Canadians a peaceful species, so I made an account here.

In my own realms it’s the aggressive people who attack others that I remove. I do not want my new users interacting with them, old users having to interact with them, them to appear to be the face and persontype of my place… I also rule with an iron fist tho. I value diverse ideologies and viewpoints but do not tolerate aggression.

Maybe you are not assertive enough in preventing bullying among your flock and one just reached up and bit you. A clear warning first and to make the bullied person feel they are not in the wrong, then send the bully to another instance if they continue.

Reminds me of a post where someone was being viciously attacked for innocently sharing their view.

I actually felt I had to step in and reassure the poster they were ok after and it seemed to help.

I don’t know how people like that are allowed to roam the varying areas. Just make them reroll far away.

Seems like one of that type of person bit you and you lashed back and in so doing “overly defended” america in saying others are jealous; and then you got the downvotes.

I don’t see the hate of Americans issue as much as it being acceptable to viciously attack people if not personally sharing their viewpoint; and that shouldn’t actually be acceptable behavior. It should be highly looked down on and removed. Being civil isn’t just words; it’s the energy one conveys toward others.

edit: also people joining or initially starting in just any instance and eventually rerolling to one more fitting them is a natural thing which happened here.

I enjoyed watching it until i got bored. Facebook is definitely not the one for me, but i respect it and the heights Zuckersaurus was able to achieve.

My judgement of Biden’s impairment level is: were someone to play chess against him, about once per game he would do what looks like ‘a noob mistake’ caused by his brain not making the connection correctly on a threatening piece. aka he would move on to a threatened square as if not seeing an opposing piece. In chess that means a good opponent would capitalize on it and Biden would lose. But as president, if his team is good enough, they can cover for him. Since he isn’t strokes or ms level, he could still be a functional president; which he was. Definite agree he shouldn’t be president again tho since he will just get worse and 4 years is a long time.

so tho tons of dramatic news and focus on mental competence, I don’t see anything particularly wrong about what happened nor how things are now. People with that minor level of “age related cognitive decline” can still be awesome and strategic geniuses that have cultivated themselves in to someone better than ‘youngins’. No opinion on whether that is true of Biden, but just sayin.

imo him running initially was fine and also him not running again is appropriate.

“championed” is slang for “luigi’d”?

amen

It’s weird but I actually don’t consider people fulfilling normal everyday professions as heroes. It may be because I played heroes of might and magic 3 as a kid and my concept of ‘hero’ has connotations of someone being extraordinary.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, since those kids are apparently destined to be workers according to james, idolizing normal jobs is ummm ok. But it’s sort of like taking kids who specifically want to be extroardinary and telling them “no. u will be a brick in the wall.”

When I think hero i think Guru Aurobindo, Feynman, Mai Bhago, StBridgid, Barry the Dog, neem karoli baba, ben franklin, selassie, carl sagan, etc etc etc.

So haha BUT when a kid wants to be extraordinary and above the norm, the correct answer is to empower them upward to reach what heights they can; not pull them down.

literally havent played in 10+ years lol

wow fascinating. amazing that i just heavily wiki’d this stuff and didn’t come across swill milk at all.

and does sound like the corrupt normal way that the dairy industry would have their own person in charge of the investigation.

you’re the one who would raise a smart child :)

the people you are speaking against would have children that stop asking questions after the first few times they are hurt by doing so.

good job being a good person :)

Achieve alot during the day
