Adding more noise does nothing to add insights it just makes it more exhausting to pick a position yourself.

If everything is nuanced then you can more easily give up on caring in a meaningful way because you believe there is no good answer.

Post in Lemmy be wholesome or somewhere similar and I’m sure people will have nice things to say.

What on earth was the thought process that lead you posting this here?

It makes it seem like a bot post. Honestly it reads like one of the bots in the comment section of a YouTube video that says if they get 10k likes their mom will buy them a camera. And creates an immediate distrust.

Sure stop pandering to the wealthy and make plans to support and lift the general populace in all areas and you will stop being “woke”.
And guess what, the best way to pay for it is to get the fair share of taxes back from those that are avoiding paying completely by paying lawmakers privately.

Wow, so easy, much fun.

Restrictions on ammunition purchases and storage.

Buy your gun but ammo is purchased and used on site of the firing range. Have a separate license or multiple for home storage that requires proof of purchase of a storage spot for it and has a limit on what can be purchased in a year with random checks for those with the license.

People can have their guns and even a full round or clip but it limits the extent of firing they can do. It’s basically a tweak of what several other countries already do.

No no. See the Democrats need to only hyper focus on specific groups or even just specific counties in states cause their brother they paid 3 million dollars to to consult on their campaign said their intern ran a computer model and decided that was a group they could pick up more votes in. And don’t you know hyper specific identity politics is clearly more superior to general pro-citizen policies that would support a wider populace cause aiming for a wide audience is something only Republicans can do.

We just have to be excited for the flavor of the week getting their extra attention and hyper specific to the point of unhelpful policies if we vote DNC.

Ahh of course. Cause feelings about other people is far simpler than attempting understanding.

Don’t let reality get in your way of your desired scapegoats. A strategy much loved in the current year.

I do not feel seen for having the words that describe the situation hidden from others.
It makes it felt still swept under the rug to be easier to talk about from those that would rather not.

Most jobs have had metrics of efficiency and productivity set by “AI” for years now. It’s made whole employment fields miserable to work in for nearing a decade.

The upper echelon have absolutely forgotten how to interact and use their brains to come up with solutions that help those they look down on.
Even AOC believes in only cheap immigrant labor for running the economy.

They get to say no?!

Stick + lighter + stone surface = big dragon mommy milkers, just fine.

Man even quotes don’t work to make it search for just the term you know you are looking for.

Yeah in a global environment essentially China is the workforce/factory workers of the previous gilded age.

And it’s pretty much exactly my point that their union (the government) is finally pushing back against the management while being not exactly kind to their workers.

We are essentially reliving through a new worker rebellion but from the governments of the global south with their own layers of local nuance underneath that.
Weird times.

The workforce is unionizing even if their union is pretty terrible.

Definitely just a toss up of where this is going.

Yeah the best ones are just taking advantage of our empathetic neurons to initiate a conversation. The terrifying ones then use that opening to inject their own thoughts on others.

Ah. It used to be just someone that would say something so inflammatory or provoking that it would force interaction or responses from the people witnessing it.

Like an obvious joke or quote of an earworm that it creates replies. Or sometimes something rude or just wrong on purpose. Modern bad actors adopting trolling tactics is not necessarily the same thing.

You could say trolls are like onions, they have multiple coatings.

I thought it would be a legitimate niche forum for sharing information. And reddit leaned further into trolling and bad behaviour.

A systems purpose is what it does and this platform has not shown much outside of being a place for fights and self held superiority stroking.

TL; DR I am mostly here for news links and B-Movie-Bananza cause it has some good recommendations. Not to interact or pretend this is more than the sum of its parts.
Also the top communities are memes mostly so, yes? Is not jokes a minor form of trolling?

Yeah reddit and Lemmy are just auxiliary troll communities to the OG forums like 4chan.

Same people. Same shitty behaviour just slightly different topics and levels of trolling.
