That’s a bad faith argument. No body wants that. Just because it exists doesn’t mean I’m defending it. The alternative is letting a paste-brained Putin-wannabe become King.

No body wants that.
Somebody must want it, otherwise it wouldn’t exist. And that’s fine. People want what they want, I don’t think it’s mine, or anyone else’s place to tell someone what they can or cannot like or want. But, I hope you understand why it’s hard for some to find the motivation to fight for a society that they don’t particularly like.

The capitalists wanted it, and with influence on media and culture instilled it into us as the ideal. We are fighting to change it.
Rooskie91@discuss.online 4 weeks ago
People don’t have to want things for them to exist. That’s a stupid qualifier and a logically bankrupt argument.

Turd level false dichotomy.
Crankenstein@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The neoliberal forced dichotomy of “you have to choose to maintain the capitalist status quo that is actively getting worse with every day, otherwise you get the Big, Bad Boogeyman who is gonna do the same thing but at an accelerated pace” is so fucking infuriating.
Crankenstein@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Sadly, people do “want” this. They have been conditioned to want it their entire life, from a young age, through the media they consumed telling them it is what they want and then internalizing those notions without ever realizing it. Now as adults they hold onto those beliefs and are incapable of being introspective about the roots of their own desires.
The human mind is no different from the mind of an animal, and can be manipulated in the many of same ways.

Also that life is one we choose by wanting a solid predictable life. Anyone can online in the woods in Alaska off grid. Its just a fuck ton of work and you could starve or freeze.

Who said anything about moving to alaska? We just want a reasonable, sustainable society.

Common mistake. It’s a little known fact that Super Earth was modeled after regular Earth.

Lemmy is almost entirely incredibly shut-in discord kids, people who were too uptight to work out on reddit or other social media, neurodivergence who believe making effort to socialize is akin to self-immolation, and other edge-cases from the broader internet.
It’s a fantastic place to actually have a conversation without being drowned out by 300 people trying to push their own brands, agendas and manifestos, but it’s also not a place to see normal people being normal much of the time.

I love all my fellow neuro-divergents, but damn I’ve seen some takes on here so divorced from reality that they don’t even get the children every other weekend.

Yes, what do you think elder care homes are for? TO GET RID OF THEM ON THE PRETENSE OF CARE.
deaf_fish@midwest.social 4 weeks ago
I interpreted that as elderly who were depressed because they were in bad care facilities.
So like the bad thing is bad care facilities, or the fact that families don’t have the means to take care of their elderly.

“The American way of life is not negotiable” – Liberal hero “normal President” George W Bush.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
Liberal hero. Many people hated Bush at the time. It’s funny how over time he has somehow been normalized as “the not so bad Republican.” Like that’s all it takes, to literally not be Hitler, to be considered an ok Republican.
anachronist@midwest.social 4 weeks ago
As a guy who spent the first day of the Iraq war trapped in a police kettle, yes I know.
When W’s rehabilitation began during Trump 1 the libs were saying “Cheney was the real bad guy”. Then along came Kamala.

SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
You can look at a turd from different angle and it will look like a brownie.
A comfortable home or segregationist suburban dystopia?
Family vacations or inefficient car based infrastructure fucking up the planet?
Fun hobbies or mindless consumerism being sold to you as a hobby?
Living to a ripe old age or being relegated to for profit nursing homes to count your dying days?
Which seems more apparent?
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
Well, it depends on your perspective, as you so rightly put it. You see something deplorable in each of those squares where others might see it differently.
We are absolutely living in a cyberpunk dystopia. This particular meme is poorly put together to represent that because it chooses to focus on judgement of how others live their lives or choose to enjoy said life rather than focus on the real and tangible injustices we face. It is elitist and “holier than thou”.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
Segregationist. lol
queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
I think I agree with /u/Jo Miran
Your post is just invoking feeling in people who already hate this shit. Circlejerk material.
It’s more meaningful to focus on things which are objectively bad, like yearly rising suicide rates or lowering life expectancies.
