Show me an implementation that doesn’t end up like that.

I don’t care about some great pie in the sky ideals, show me a real tangible example of a communist government that doesn’t violate its citizens for “their own good.”

Says the guy who cried fallacy but couldn’t name what it is.

You’re not a serious person, I engaged with what you said and you couldn’t respond with shit and are obviously pissed that I preempted what you were going to say.

Yeah it’s fucking wild that people are defending neoliberals so hard as if neoliberals didn’t just dick the whole shutdown.

It’s really sad to see how many people fall into the trap of party identity instead of thinking for themselves.

It’s incredibly obvious that the Democrat leadership and establishment has long since stopped caring about their constituents and prioritized corporate interest.

It’s so frustrating that people have become so wrapped up with party identity that they can’t just not see the cancer, they actively defend it.

“Blue no matter who” and the general response to this meme is so fucking stupid because it keeps the corrupt establishment in power and sidelines the actual progressives.

I think you’re just angry that I preempted you with an argument you can’t refute.

“Honestly, claiming no true Scotsman fallacy over a semantic disagreement, is a fallacy in itself.”

What fallacy is that?

It’s so bad, basically every post there is pushed by bots. The entire purpose of reddit is to shape opinion by forced consensus.

It’s a propaganda machine inside the bloated husk of a forum aggregator.

Lemmy isn’t impervious but it’s much better than reddit.

Many such cases

If I saw someone wear that shirt in an English speaking country I’d die laughing and tell literally everyone I know that I saw an irl cryptid.

That’s why I play vampire survivors and those kinda brain off games

My toxic trait is hating on sanctimonious celebrities who got famous before the internet era

Really gets the gen x’s stirred up

That’s unfortunately most interactions I’ve had on reddit and Lemmy.

I think most people just want to comment to be right about something rather than communicate anything valuable.

In your own words, what is faith?

In mine:

The denial of basic facts and the willingness to persevere in the face of all logic on instruction from a higher power for unknowable reasons.

There’s no shot at converting these people because they already decided the outcome of any logical argument put before them.

To them each incongruous fact is just a weird shaped puzzle piece that’ll fit their world view no matter how contrived.

It’s why cult deprogramming is so incredibly difficult.

If you’re trying to say true communism hasn’t been tried please let me stop you because that’s a no true Scotsman fallacy.

Everyone who’s ever instituted a flavor of communism would call their preferred flavor “true communism.”

I really haven’t heard booing in any of the clips. I hate trump but these Rorschach clips are so annoying because it’s obvious that people just hear what they want to hear.

“He keeps saying he isn’t him or anyone else.”

The guy doesn’t want to take responsibility for the terrible things he’s done like driving Cathriona White to suicide or him being a massive hypocrite when he took action movie money then claimed that anyone who sees the movie is endorsing irl violence.

He’s just another washed comedian from the 90’s who thinks his immense privilege is somehow profound.

Worse than capitalism despite being more well intentioned.

Cs Lewis nailed it while talking about religion:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Ask yourself, do you really want the people of .ml holding power over every facet of your life?

Yeah this is fear mongering bullshit.

The reason you care about dissolved solids is because of minerals tasting like shit and making your food taste mineraly.

This is literally what got me off reddit and onto the fedverse

Lemmy was/is my last bastion of online life and honestly when it goes I don’t care to continue.

I really want to unplug entirely and leave all this shit behind for good
