This is for ALL of the bOth siDeS suck, “I refuse to vote because I don’t like the candidates available!” people:
All of your concerns are fixed when everyone pays attention for more than one out of every four years. Until that happens, it’s first past the post- and we either get to drink the metaphorical piss of all those who didn’t pay attention, or eat the metaphorical shit of those who didn’t pay attention- chiding neither doesn’t excuse you from the buffet, it just takes the choice of which away from you.
What I’m saying is…. change doesn’t happen when people only choose to be “activists” once every four years.
So vote for the guy that isn’t going to end democracy as we know it- and at least buy yourselves and everyone else four years to start actually paying attention and making the change you’d like to see.
Can we do this everywhere please?
I said nothing about free speech. Re-read it and feel corrected.
You people seemingly always purposefully misappropriate everting everyone says in order to be able to make whatever point you think you have.
None said you can’t criticize here. No one.
Now move along feeling corrected.
Most of the bias in communities here tend to be very heavy leaning towards socialism and communism. I’m neither of those things, and definitely not a right-winger. But a lot of the nuance in life and politics is overlooked by those groups. I’d like to not be shot out of a cannon I to the sun for disagreeing with these people, and then not banned/have comments removed for saying the exact same thing these kids are- where they’re perfectly fine to ridicule/antagonize.
I only really bias towards empirical truth and evidence. Along with accepting that life provides a shit ton of nuance and not wavering is it should be as polarized as people make it out to be.
This goes for pretty much everything.
I’m not right leaning at all, but neither piracy, nor anarchy are things I’m interested in.
Remember though…. The kids’ll tell you that both sides are equally as bad.
Chlormequat- sounds like a MAGA approved miracle injection to me.
That’s a pretty fair point. Gotta admit.
I don’t like bias. And try not to have one of my own.
I’m going to check that out. Thanks!
Isn’t mastodon more like Twitter? I’m not crazy familiar with it to be honest.
Nope. Never were.
Scroll up and look who responded to who. I posted here and THEY followed me. Fuck this place. This sub annd that clown deserve each other. Blocking both.
If lemmy goes to shit because clowns like that are allowed to do and say as they please… let it.
Maybe if someone actually did something about them, they wouldn’t be here for anyone to engage with them… but that’s just me…
Last time I’m going to say this. Write it down:
I unblocked you so I can warn others that fall for your bait to steer clear of you so as not to get banned. I will continue to NOT block you on this account for this reason and this reason alone.
For the health of lemmy and the ability for people to freely intersect here- people need to know when they’re dealing with bait-trolls.
This response is for the benefit of anyone reading along. I will not entertain your trolling any further. And for anyone that may not believe what I’m saying, please look at their comment history.
I’ll rest my case here.
Nope… that’s not what I’m saying. That’s what you’re wanting me to have said.
What I AM saying, is what I said:
If people are only going to pay after or one year out of every four- and do nothing but whine to strangers that don’t care online…. Don’t expect to see the change you want.
