Life on an island applies pressure to compromise. Lemmy emerged comprised of those who wanted out specifically not to have to compromise. I think the federation concept will serve to reinforce isolated thought bubbles, and a platform migratory pattern will emerge as people crave a return to society and then an escape to their own private beaches. There’s a maturing period to grow through for sure, though.

Disagreement? In this echo chamber?? No nuance, netizen! Back in line!

I think it was during the Dominion suit that Fox argued their propaganda was Merely Entertainment, Actually not to be taken seriously once the damage was done, and the Internet got all mad about the convenient arbitrariness in that double standard being used to prop up the Trump machine.

Thanks I hung it on the fridge.

Did you share it with everybody in this thread having serious discussion on the topic or just the person you disagree with?

It reads like a trinity of meme community, soapbox, and echo chamber

Getting on the supposed’a soapbox to post made it about you lol my point has been addressing a seeming disconnect between Internet atheists’ claimed values and lived experiences. If the country gets anymore Christian I’ll attribute it to their self unaware amplification.

What is on lemmy is righteous anti-social ascetic retreats into off grid homeschooled veganism. What I’m having trouble with is understanding how that sparks a change toward whatever you think is supposed to be rather than propagating the Christian status quo.

If the country is supposed to be “not Christian values” then it’s self-defeating to center and amplify Christian values like anti-capitalism, redistribution, and wielding government as a moral authority.

If it’s not what it’s supposed to be then why is all the messaging around here basically “capitalism=bad, distributism=good”? Ascetic veganism routinely wins out as morally superior to mercantilism on this platform, suppressing Siddhartha’s exit from the woods.

If it’s not supposed to be the church then why is the prevailing ideology around here “store brand catholic social theory”?

Hawaiian pizza was invented by a Greek man running an Italian pizzeria in Toronto inspired by the sweet and sour flavors of Chinese cuisine

New theory, internalized guilt over online shopping induced by media showing the impacts of climate change alongside the implication that delivery is to blame is manifesting as “fuck cars” instead of “I’ll simply buy less or hate myself less when I do shop”

Gentle parenting when it comes to my own lesson learning, wrathful punishment for everybody else

I’m a scientist and I love cars! The “fuck cars” thing is lame, and obnoxiously whiny in a car-based society. The yutes cheer on Spongebob getting his boating license but fall to pieces when they have to drive. Did we raise a generation of drunks?

Yes, actually. It’s ignorant, cold, and wrathful. The longer the yutes hold onto a punishment mentality the longer we have to live with fascism.

“Hmm there sure are a lot of hateful conservatives in this space I keep occupying”

I imagined it and felt more secure in not proselytizing.

“Attention all, I went somewhere else!” OK love that for you.

PSA the mission never ends, padre! Last I heard Joseph of Arimathea had 26 conversions in AD 46.

Libertarians denying their conservatism so they can act wicked online while propping up Christian nationalism in the real world is happening!
