That’s the main thing I hate about Lemmyverse is that the zealots and puritans came over too.

They always think you mean someone else when you say “please stop constantly trying to shoehorn your politics into everything”

This meme highlights the real difference between the gay rights movement of the past, and the modern “lgbqt alphabet” movement of now.

Gay people just wanted to be given the same rights as everyone else, and told is that they didn’t have much choice in the matter.

With the current movement, they want everyone to change their behaviour and the way they think about things.

You’ll often see criticisms of the modern gender movement labelled as “homophobia” but they aren’t.

They are two different movements and should separated.

I moved to Germany from the UK, and Americans here are almost always lecturing everyone on their bullshit politics, and cod psychology nonsense.

I wish they’d fucking shut the fuck up.

It will be like that, plus political posts.

Because people are addicted to spreading their political opinions like evangelists of old.

And they never think you mean them when you ask them to stop, becuse then other team is evil, and inserting their political opinions in to everything is their personality now. It’s tut only way they can get them likes.

Social media changed society and sadly, I don’t think escaping to the Fediverse can out run the political borest.

Material Conditions lead them to that drug abuse

This is how I know you have exactly zero life experience, and clearly never given the topic more than a moments thought.

You call me dumb - but are you seriously saying that the only reason people become substance abusers is because of poverty?

Think about that for just thirty seconds.

Yeah, you should have told the homeless charity you just joined the truth about homelessness!

What a stupid snivelling American sophomoric bullshit opinion.

The bottom problem is drug addiction, not capitalism.

The top photo isn’t about what it’s like to fucking look at , it’s about what it’s like to live in.

And I can tell you that there is plenty of crime there.

New Zealand? England?

Nah man, there’s some crazy fucking Fuck Cars peoples who don’t even think parents of severely mentally disabled children should have a car.

There’s always absolute extremists, and they are never fucking silent.

It bothers me when they just do it in every sub. Star Wars memes? Star Trek memes?

There’s no fucking escape.

The annoying thing is these people never see themselves as the insufferable bores always taking about local politics.

It’s always really important.

It’s always that you’re a nazi if you don’t agree.

It’s just modern born-again Christians, who aren’t knocking on your door, they’re posting in your social Media.

Spoken like a true person who tries to shoehorn their political beliefs into every topic.

Movie based meme page?

Better talk about American politics!

So socialism, if it has any degree of democracy to it, which is kind of essential to socialism, is evil in your eyes.

What version of decision making is acceptable in socialism then?

Just one party rule?

If it were that simple, then it would be fine.

But the point is, people just start to label anything that whiffs of a different opinion as “intolerance”.

Hey look its the same thought terminating argument tankies use when they want to bring about purges for “wrong think”.

Why are people this days totally incapable of understanding what moderation means?

There’s some truth to this “mind Virus” idea.

Moderation doesn’t mean “I would only like half the holocaust” - it means understanding that not every single thing everyone who claims to align with your politics does is “good”, and that people who have an different suggestion for how to solve a problem aren’t “evil”.

Politics has gotten crazy and comments like yours really don’t help

“let” Ukrainians.

Your patronising colonial mask is slipping.

Ukrainians have ASKED for these weapons so they can get rid of the murderous, child torturing Russians out of their country.

Stop amplifying the propaganda of child torturers.

How the fuck has everyone so easily allowed so few tech companies to dominate?

Yeah that’s hardly a game changer.

I agree. But the discussion was shit-posting, not racist jokes, or am I missing something?
