There are still cultural norms where you live. Probably even some that would be offensive in your country but not in the United States.

Luigi situation is interesting because pretty much everyone agrees that the health insurance industry is broken. While most conservatives (probably?) disagree with his method, they can’t wholly disagree with his motive.

Stevia leaves a disgusting after taste and is an immediate deal breaker for me in any drink.

My point is that the united states is a stabilizing force, and in many cases someone else would step in if we left. So my question is, would they be more fair? Its not as simple as saying that the united states is the sole source of evil in the world.

Do you think it’s possible to live in harmony with the rest of the world? If the united states conceded its powerful position, who would take over as the new world power? (Probably China) Would you be better off? Would the world in general be better off with someone else in charge? Would you prefer to stand for the Chinese flag or the American flag? Or do you actually think we are ready for a world where there are no super powers?

It’s a little jarring seeing a post like this alongside a post celebrating the possibility of jailing people for doing a nazi salute. Anyway to answer your question, some people cannot function in society. They are dangerous, and the only way to prevent them from harming others is to isolate them from society.

That’s a fair question. It’s mostly just my observation, but if I were obligated to guess, it is partially filtering based on the types of people who are active and readily express their opinions on various topics, but also because of the reasons people moved to lemmy in the first place, many of whom were evicted from reddit because they were too extreme.

There are a lot of people, especially on lemmy, who see everything through the lens of their personal ideology and utterly lack the ability to empathize or understand different views or life situations. You only matter to them insofar as to how it can advance or support their ideology. It’s pathological, and their views should be ignored.

It’s either the power mods or the admins who decide how content gets censored on reddit. Which one is worse?

It’s more of an assassination in my opinion.

I’m not sure what you mean. Are you saying that Russians and Palestinians are made to suffer for the crimes of their government and that it should be the same for Jews?

That’s a tough standard. Does that apply to everyone or just jews?

There is no gray area or in between. You are either 100 percent innocent or 100 percent bad.

Well it does pledge to the republic and to the values of the republic. Which is appropriate for a republic.

That’s a really good use for bots, since new users haven’t seen the best posts and may actually enjoy discussing them. Older users can simply move on, filter from their stream if they get bored of it.

Do you mean that housing should be provided by the government? By the tax payers? And what about maintenance? Is that also provided by the taxpayers? So they would pay people to come fix up the house you live in for free? I guess I’m just not quite sure how you think it all works.

They tried that with me once, but I showed them and got a different job.

Government can throw you in jail.

It’s entirely possible that the question has never been considered, and that it is technically legal. In that case we should probably close that gap, and soonish.

No that’s the whole point of the post
