But I’m a marginalised white middle class Christian man and I demand for you to read and accept my opinion as fact!!!

I am most certainly not surprised.

I don’t want people to go hungry or be homeless because one day I could be hungry or homeless through no fault of my own.

Let’s use healthcare as an example. Liberalism generally believe in the power of the markets so are quite happy to privatise healthcare.

It’s pretty obvious to anyone paying attention that a healthcare system that requires private individuals to pay for coverage will result in the poorest and most unfortunate having no coverage.

The very idea of privatised healthcare being acceptable on any level is antithetical to leftist beliefs but compatible with liberal ideology, hence it is right wing.

Yeah in case you haven’t realised he doesn’t give a fuck about you.

It’s a big beautiful club and you’re not in it.

Nothing makes me feel more powerful than getting downvoted and not caring while having a bunch of people who clearly care a lot about votes tell me I should care about downvotes.

Go ahead and downvote me, it literally doesn’t matter.

Ask yourself if you’ve ever met a socially well adjusted human who is a long term moderator.

I’ve met plenty of decent people who have moderated for a time (at the very beginning of a community for example) or tried it and then walked away.

But never someone who does it for years on end.

I assume it’s because long term mods seek power they lack in their own lives because of poor social adjustment but happy to read a paper on this.

I would love a platform that has collective community moderation through content flagging and voting which does away the need for mods.

There’s always something happening.

Like a war in the Congo for example. Be anxious about that.

I’ve already blocked Lemmy world and I’m OOTL what happened now?

Cries in avocado.

Do you really need to read volumes of theory to grasp what is fundamentally a rather straightforward concept?

Leftism shouldn’t be locked behind intellectual elitism.

TL;DR the capitalist state will use threats of violence/actual violence against threats to capitalism which includes those who stand for progressive ideals. Leftists believe this is a justification to use violence against the state.

I hope the TVs make a recovery.

What’s that about the Titanic’s front?

Mods so afraid they lost what tiny minuscule bit of power they had. Now desperate to remain relevant.

They should reevaluate their life.

I agree with you. There is legitimate criticism of UBI especially of the Yang flavor.

I’ve just always seen it as increased unemployment payments with fewer conditions rather than a replacement of the welfare state.

The UBI I support is only a replacement for unemployment benefits and all the welfare state social safety nets would still be provided for I.e. single payer healthcare, social housing

Is that still a capitalist nightmare?

Not sure I agree as it seems like black and white thinking.

I.e. I could imagine a scenario where someone is very obviously/admits to using neopronouns disingenuously and that would break my social contract with them to honour it.

If I make an assessment of neopronoun usage on a case by case basis I can still avoid witch hunts. It’s similar to how I determine in real life if someone is an asshole or not.

Another way; I can support a person who I genuinely believe uses neopronouns while denouncing and excluding someone who doesn’t.
