Fellas, is it a crime to want to share something you enjoy? As long as you aren’t demonizing people who haven’t seen it, who cares?

As if changing your name would do anything lol

“actually my name is Beth now, I changed it”

“yeah whatever IKEA”

In my view, I don’t think it was aimed soIely at communism. Can’t speak for the intent of the poster unless they weigh in though. My view when saying they wanted to test something and then say several groups were horrible was to get a reaction from those that belong to said groups as a sort of half assed shotgun technique. I really didn’t expect it to get a rise out of anyone reasonable which is why I made my initial comment. All of those groups listed have various sized vocal subgroups that will aggressively defend their view points with a “them vs us” take.

That said the view points themselves are very different so that is where the equivalence stops.

You seem to know what you’re talking about, and not going to debate you on any of the points you just brought up. I certainly don’t disagree with anything you just said. I just still feel it’s a stretch to assume that comment is equating all of those things that were listed. That’s not what I took away from it at all, and still don’t.

Well that’s not very nice, calling people names.

1. Is wasn’t mine

2. You’re trying to hard to see what you want to see in order to sound morally superior for Internet high fives.

It is clearly a half assed joke saying that if you call a group horrible, someone with get butt hurt and respond accordingly. Which in a round about way is exactly what you did. Any further reading into it is on you.

I can’t believe it actually worked lol

I like this comment. I’m getting so tired of the “my team good, your team bad” posts I’m seeing all over here. It’s like both sides refuse to see issue in their way of living and get off on hating on the group that has been designated as “them”.

Making uppity remarks so that their echo chambers can go “LOL TRU” doesn’t aid the discussion or allow them to learn from other view points.

I agree with you that prohibition isn’t the way to do things. In my opinion the war on drugs is a waste of tax payers money and more importantly human life stuck behind bars. If you are speaking against criminalization of substances I’m with you. I’m however, not against harm reduction and education, including warning labels on products that are harmful.

Sure I’ll establish it with in context. Just because “other things are also dangerous” doesn’t mean warning should not be on the label of a known carcinogen. This is coming from someone who drinks more than he should.

Putting a warning on the label of a product known to cause harm isn’t “controlling others”. You are free to still consume the product. It is allowing you to make an informed choice, even if you are unaware or unable to access that information from other sources.

Slippery slope fallacy.

Go to most of the political subs on lemmy and you’ll find plenty of brain dead takes

Does that work for the ads in YouTube videos? We have messed around with pie hole at our house but it doesn’t work for videos.

I’m not sure you can even have one without the other tbh

I’ve had better luck with the Connect app
