That’s a good point that I hadn’t considered.
I’d expect someone to raise it as a point, though, because I’ve seen the Nazi in a bar meme a million times but never has anyone pointed out the problematic linkage of punks and nazis.
I think it’s more likely that there are bad faith trolls here already that, rather than engage in a discussion, downvote to silence views they don’t like.
Why are you getting downvoted for perfectly answering the question?
Fascists already invading
Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I definitely agree. I strongly believe the best avenue of success is through removing the dollar dependence. It feels like there was some rustling when Bitcoin started to gain traction but I believe that threats been coopted by the rich.
How can I subscribe to Lenincatfacts? You have a mastodon or something?
Sorry bud, how about you start a thread and get some community feedback? Maybe your opinion is problematic or maybe the mods made a mistake.
Idk I’m not psychic
Engagement is a two way street, you need to post something worth engaging with.
Occasionally I’ve seen a valid opinion/idea with some downvotes but there’s still usually responses that get a discussion going. Only the true shit has the massive one sided downvote ratio with, unfortunately, a few replies from people who took the bait.
You’re being downvoted because you straw manned, not sure if intentionally or not.
If your solution to a problem can fit on a bumper sticker it’s wrong.
Like…really? Do you think that this community, or anyone worth talking to, thinks that it’s that easy?
Totally agree - when people start coming out as trolls/bad actors/fascists is when they’re rightly silenced
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think both of you have the same general ideas, I enjoyed reading both you and Grays thoughts.
You both argue that a heavily regulated capitalist system is preferable to current state, but you believe that is mostly impossible since the bourgeois/ruling class makes the rules and wouldn’t voluntarily self impose restrictions on themselves. How can that be prevented or mitigated within something like the American political framework?
I just loaded the front page without logging in out of curiosity. It’s utter garbage.
The timing of twitter collapse, threads paid celebrity launch, and reddit implosion feels… Very foreboding.
And bots. And sponsored content.
It is anti intellectual. Idk why it has so many upvotes
Thanks for reminding me meat is subsidized for some reason 😮💨
Tax meat, subsidize healthy meat alternatives.
Max american interests is reached at TROLLEY = 0
Its by design. CEOs are replaceable, the corporation is not. Once all the shit changes are done they’ll get rid of Huffman (who will get a fat golden parachute for his hard work) and new CEO will walk back maybe 2 of his changes. Suddenly reddit is loveable again and to say otherwise is asking for too much.
Yep saw the guillotine thanos snapping before my eyes… This could’ve actually been fun but fucckkiinnnggg reddit.
Can we start out own lemmy place?
lmao I didn’t know what was happening in this one for a moment
Swarmy ole gaius
