I’d argue that if we can’t protect the little guy from the billionaires, then the race has no business continuing on into space.

Exactly. They’re just showing you to your face instead of voting “behind your back”. I appreciate the honesty

Shouldn’t be illegal or dangerous to simply knock on someone’s door, tbh

I’m personally totally cool accepting that the majority of my countrymates are selfish pieces of shit. It totally fits with own experiences and the things I’ve seen on the news. I no longer have to wonder. Also probably true for most of the rest of the world, I dunno

I’ve been active. Any time I share an opinion that isn’t in-step with the crowd, I get bombarded by people defending the status quo, insulting me, and telling me that I’m wrong because “just look at the downvotes” which is a hilarious metric.

I got banned from the Vegan community for suggesting that meat was deeply ingrained in our behavior from a cultural perspective, and simply messaging to other people that animals were alive and conscious wasn’t going to cut it if they wanted to reduce meat consumption.

I also tried to convince people that rubbing BLM/anti-“all lives matter” rhetoric in conservatives faces wasn’t going to convince them to support our movements, and the whole thing devolved into everyone throwing insults out, and not one person could ever explain why I was wrong.

Maybe becoming active on Lemmy isn’t a great thing lmao
