Sounds more like anarchism than democracy.

Yeah I hope the best for you too. I was trying to lighten the mood but it is going to get dark before it gets any better.
Tough choice GB but I’ll go with option B. What do I win?
I can’t blame some New Caledonians for wanting to remain a part of France.
The people that are affected by the racism want to be independent and the people that aren’t want to stay a part of France. So the cost isn’t spread evenly, that’s why there is this huge problem in the first place.
Yeah from what I understand the situation there is complicated. A majority of the people that live in New Caledonia want to stay a part of France and that majority is made of mostly the Europeans and the other migrants.
However the Kanak are socioeconomically disadvantaged compared to the rest of the state and they feel like they aren’t being represented enough (due to a slim minority) on what they consider aboriginal land (even though other people have been living there for a long time too).
It is a weird situation.
Edit: added (due to a slim minority)
That’s a smaller population than I thought. I thought maybe a half a million at least but I guess not.

I used the auto-generated title for this but realized that the actual title looks different so should I change it?
It is the exploitation that’s wrong. That goes for animals as well as plants. If we can avoid that then things would be a lot better
I mean it is a common sentiment that has been measured:
Beyond that if you are insinuating that it is a coordinated campaign of people doing this, I mean yeah that’s probably true to some extent. But the reason why they are targeting that is because they know it is a weak point.
So posting an article showing that the cost of living is going down would make that kind of sentiment less justified.
Here is the archived version without the paywall:
Edit:
I also liked this quote from it:
Most don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, apathetic and afraid, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade their own people to stay out of politics, and above all to convince them that there is no democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong. The democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.
Relate it to something that they do care about and show how it negatively affects that.
I think that in the long term that there is one thing going for the truth: It is more coherent and more predictive of what is to come next.
If a country does a campaign that tries to fabricate a story from scratch if they aren’t very careful there will be some form of incoherence eventually if there is any slip up. That’s why its always easier to just frame the truth in positive or negative lights instead because it removes the need to try and create coherent stories.
And yes I know that there are people that believe incoherent truths about the world but that is mainly because it doesn’t actually affect most of the actions that they take on a day to day basis so they don’t have an actual incentive to improve their understanding of the world. If they need to make decisions based on that information they will make bad decisions until their understanding of the world has changed or they are out competed by people with more accurate beliefs.
T.L.D.R.
Lies take consistent effort to keep straight and eventually they’ll fuck up, Spin is easier and more effective for changing values, and people tend to have more accurate beliefs if they are actually useful to have them.
Edit: grammar
weird
Edit: It most like was a federation problem on my end.
Unrelated question but why did you not upvote your own comment?
on lemmy.world it automatically does that for you.
FYI I’ve found that if you download a text expander it allows you to make shortcuts for these kinds of texts making it much easier to add automatically.
Oh wait I forgot lemmy.world isn’t federated with beehaw.org anymore so you can’t use those communities. Because usually most of the kinds of comments you would be getting would be removed by now.
Well you can get a second account to join beehaw communities or again just reporting and all that stuff.
But honestly I really think you should make a post on !anticorporate@lemmy.giftedmc.com getting more people to do it because this is the kind of thing that would be interesting to them.
Well I think you could do a few things.
A) Talk to your admin about harassment and ask them to look into this when they can.
B) Start posting in communities that have a higher intolerance to this kind of behaviour (I’m thinking Beehaw communities)
C) Make a post on !anticorporate@lemmy.giftedmc.com and see if you can get even more people doing it.
I’m actually thinking of adding these to my posts as well now just to see more people’s reactions. Do you know of a way to automatically add it to the end of your posts?
Edit: grammar and spelling.
Seriously what is up with people and the downvotes on this. It is just a link guys.
A lot of this hate feels a bit manufactured because I can’t honestly think of a good reason why so many would be so against this.
Any picture/video/text that is tries to present facts or events without sources should be dismissed (unless they are facts or events that you have previously verified for yourself). At least with a source you can reason about motives, resources, etc. to get a better picture of what is being pushed and why.
