It seems like they enjoy this and would like to include you. You should tell them you’re not interested and leave.

People who tell you they don’t sleep with their mother are in denial.

What’s the point of fixing any monarchy?

I guess you can hate god as a concept. God can be proven to exists in human minds (no esoteric stuff, just psychology and sociology). You can hate this scientific fact and what it means for humankind.

Good news. Terrible emotional comment section.

Xi? You misspelled Trump. Congratulations to China anyway.

Testosterone spikes are what happens in your body when you fall in love. Therefore testosterone is sometimes referred to as the hormone of love. It is true for both men and women. So how do onions fit into that?

They say they did miss it, admitting their mistake. Your response makes no sense to me.

Why so hurt? The point is that it works both ways, that’s all. Perhaps you’re into more makeup and she finds it fake. It’s ok either way.

I’m from Europe. I don’t know any completely apolitical people, really. Everyone has heard of some political topic and most of the topics make people feel strong emotions, based on which they form their opinions. In my country, the people from group 2 are not organized by themselves, but they are being successfully manipulated by rich populists. They are the majority and they are the group you need to win over to win any elections.

We’ll see. I hope you’re right. I’m just less optimistic.

I’m definitely in a bubble, not in a terminally online one though. I’d say I exist in two sphears that don’t overlap personally, rather spacially around me. One of them is an intellectual bubble that is overwhelmingly but not to a 100% full of people who oppose fascism of any flavour. The other one is a manual labourer or simple job worker bubble - I see a lot more diversity there, many people falling for different kinds of propaganda, superstition, fearmongering. Some of those are already hardcore nazis, some of them are sympathizers in some ways. They usually get informations from the TV, newspapers and friends, partially online as well - mostly Facebook.

What West are you talking about? Fascism sensu stricto was invented in the West.

I see the fall of big social media into fascism as a big problem, despite the fact that it makes them less popular. The nazis are actively destroying spaces for communication of opposing opinions. They don’t mind the medias are harmed by that. The important thing is that what remains becomes a fascist echo chamber. Most normal people won’t be able to find alternatives like lemmy, so it makes the numbers of people with opposing views who are able to communicate smaller with every fall of a medium, social or other.

Once you’re inside, the propaganda is all you get. See people in Russia and China. The repressions become draconian and people just go on with their lives in fear of losing them. With today’s tech, I think fascism is actually easier to keep up.

You’re in a nice bubble, I see lots of people buying the Russian propaganda shit.

That’s the reasonable thing to do. And we’ve already seen that. I’m talking unreasonable, fun, creative ideas that no-one in their right mind is going to use ;)

It would be fun for a Superman movie to make us view the situaltion from Lois’ and other people’s point of view, casting two completely different actors to play Supe and Clark. The change of actors would happen with the glasses.

The age when you stand on a weigh holding a cookie, eat it right there and watch the number increase by at least the weight of 30 cookies.

Not just the USA, their allies as well.
