- Comment on YSK: 1930s Germany used Jim Crow America as a model, which was a resurgence of Antebellum American racist policies — segregation, imprisonment, enslavement, and homicide. 20 hours ago:
Yeah, Germany simply reproduced colonialism internally. Everything they did was modeled after things settler-colonies had already done, the difference was that it was being done to Europeans this time instead of Africans or Native Americans or Asians.

Recession.
- Comment on How to vote? 2 weeks ago:
That’s still consistent, normal people don’t want people they disagree with to be seen by other people.
Only debate perverts would upvote something they disagree with, because they want people to see it.
- Comment on How to vote? 2 weeks ago:
I see voting as decentralized moderation, not as an expression of agreement or like or something.
Upvote means “I want people to see this” and downvote means “I don’t want people to see this.”

I think it’s more like how a rock is immune to being covered in vomit.
It’s still covered in vomit, it just can’t smell or care about it.

- Comment on Off the Rails 3 weeks ago:
They didn’t use the common definition, they specified the animal kingdom. That definitely includes humans.
- Comment on Off the Rails 3 weeks ago:
Possibly the most complex language in the animal kingdom
That… seems wrong.

Your employer already governs your livelihood through your paycheck.
That’s why employers should be elected, not just be rich people that can afford to hire workers.

“Our clear cut, objectively correct moderation. Their wicked, despotic censorship.”
The fact that the original person you were arguing with got banned just makes this funnier.

Oh, did it not show up on your end?
I mean the “our glorious kingdom, their wicket despot” comic. That’s what you’re doing. “Our reasonable defederation, their authoritarian censorship” - it’s fine when you and yours do it, but when it happens to you it’s tyranny!

Do I need to post the comic again? You’re just doing the thing.

Y’all preemptivately defederated from Hexbear, don’t act like you’re in some free speech zone.
.ml is the instance that lets me talk to the most people, which is why I’m still with them. Meanwhile you’re blocked from the wrongthink communities. You’re defederated from lemmygrad too, which makes having a dedicated community for hating lemmygrad really funny actually. .world preemptivately punted over half a million users by defederating.
But that’s okay, because they’re evil stinky tankies, and it’s okay to censor them. Wouldn’t want to disrupt your echo chamber.
Not like you. Whenever your comments are removed, it’s “unjust, and a detriment to the community.” 🤡

And over here the moderators will ban you even if you don’t break any rules, simply because your politics don’t align. That’s how I got banned from c/politics on .world - my luck ran out, they stopped putting up with me for criticizing Democrats and the people who vote for Democrats. That won’t ever be a problem for you on .world obviously.
I have never have any problems in .ml because their politics align with mine. You never have any problems in .world because their politics align with yours. It’s that simple. Every instance has elements of being an echo chamber, because ultimately, the internet is for fun and not actually a place for serious discussion or conflict.
Sometimes I do need to recharge in a place where I can discuss politics without being forced to fight over very basic assumptions about how the world works. Other times I want to engage with people who disagree with me, which is why I’m still in an instance that is federated with yours and I don’t only post inside my own instance.

There is zero special about me being on lemmy.world.
Sure there is! You’re all Redditeurs. When I see Reddit.world I can guess a lot about what you believe about imperialism, capitalism, etc etc. I understand why you believe it, I used to believe most of the same stuff, but you’re only credible among people like yourself. You aren’t credible to anyone on your left, and you aren’t credible to anyone on your right. You’re credible in your echo chamber.

Because I like to argue.

- Comment on Veggie 'burgers' at stake in EU negotiations 1 month ago:
Actually, calling anything “burger” or “sausage” is too complicated and confusing.
Make them call it cow flesh and pig meat.

Okay, but that necessarily means that other people are now paying for their Social Security. This isn’t money they paid in themselves, these are contributions coming from people like us.
- Comment on We can play that game too 1 month ago:
The OP specifically depicts someone that’s 90 years old.
The amount they paid in to Social Security ran out years ago.
