    They have no principles.

    Most people these days don’t. Rightoids were celebrating the capitol getting stormed, meanwhile Leftoids were fucking celebrating someone getting S H O T. In my tiny, peaceful world view, both of these events should NOT be celebrated. And if, idk, AOC get’s shot, Rightoids would probably celebrate it. It’s just a “bad things are actually good if they happen to the ‘right’ people”.

    The political discourse is completely off the rails, people are unhinged beyond imagination. The insane shit I said 15 years ago on /pol/ to troll around with other degenerates, stuff that was considered edgy and therefore funny, has now turned into a legitimate opinion for some people that is said without any irony. Recently I read someone on here unironically saying: “Hitler was kinda right”.

    It’s pretty sad. The political fronts are getting harder and harder until people from the right can’t reach the left anymore and people from the left can’t reach the right - and at that point, you’re probably not very far away from a straightup war.

    I just hope you keep that shit in america, but I can feel the impact in europe aswell, albeit not as bad as you have it over there.


  • Honestly I feel like you COULD make some graphs - after all, much of the data is public, like how many posts, how many comments, which communites you’ve been part of, probably even with who’m you interacted most etc.

    But then again, that’s a lot of effort for a community-ran project. But I honestly think it could be fun for next year. Maybe I’ll whip something up.




  • Sure, but with “current” I mean the current understanding of science. We know the earth is round, but not because we discovered it, but because it’s the general consensus that is taught, barely anyone doubts it. Trying to - let’s call it “rediscover” - the scientific status quo is something I do like because it might always be the case that the people before were wrong. This is how new discoveries are made and I think that is a great thing. As an example, nobody believed that continents did actually move, and Wegener was ridiculed because he had no sure way to proof it, but at some point, people had the way to proof that he was actually right.


  • You know, I really like it when people think twice about the “current” state of science. Thinking “I don’t think that’s true. So I will check and verify” is a great thing and most people should do that. Thinking the earth is flat is fine - if you then go to verify.

    The problem I have is if there is PLENTY of proof of things being a certain way that you just choose to ignore. Then you become an idiot.



  • Retard was a legitimate word, then it became a slur so we invented “special needs” which is now also a slur, so we have “intellectual disability” (which isn’t even appropriate as you can be retarded without having an intellectual disability) which will inevitably be used as a slur at some point.

    I think most people are just getting tired by getting tone policed more and more.
