- Comment on What's it called when a man steals women's selfies to use to create a fake online persona, and when people call him out on this, he says "I never said those photos are me"? 3 hours ago:
It’s called being a disgusting creep.
- Comment on I find it funny that American republicans seem to want a king, when the definition of republicanism is a government without a king. 1 day ago:
One thing I learned as I grew up is that in politics, words mean the opposite of what they mean.
Examples:
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is neither democratic, a republic, or for the people.
The Nationalist Socialist Party had a problem with actual socialists.

I live in one of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states in the US. And even here, the average Lemmy is nowhere near representative of the average person you meet in real life. If you think they are you are either deluding yourself or have an agenda to push.
Reddit is already an echo chamber and Lemmy just turns up the echo chamber dial to 100.

This is like that libertarian/ancap copypasta.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
Lemmy only really became usable for me after I blocked certain instances/communities. Tbh if I wasn’t permabanned from Reddit I probably would have quit early on and went back to Reddit.
This wasn’t because of UX. It’s was because some of the most active and highly upvoted instances that had posts hit All costly were full of terrible people and idiots.
However now that I realize how powerful that is to be able to block whole instances and curate your experience and realize that it’s basically impossible to Permaban someone from Lemmy, I’m enjoying it a lot more.
- Comment on I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys? 1 week ago:
Apparently they’re so rich that their money keeps coming in without us because…
I mean, this is true. They can do nothing and probably make millions on interest. That said, it doesn’t mean a general stroke wouldn’t be effective. While the normal person would be perfectly happy with millions coming in every year for doing literally nothing, these people aren’t satisfied unless they are making billions off the labor of others while they do nothing.

Sounds like the point went completely over your head.

The younger generation has a problem with externalizing their issues to others without feeling responsible for these issues themselves.
There is always some other party with influence and power who should take care of them like a parent and when they don’t, everything is the fault of that “parent”.
For example, it’s the “DNCs fault” we’re in the state we’re in apparently even though a lot of people didn’t vote and encouraged others not to vote. The democrat party is not some nebulous nefarious entity that exists to cater to your whims. It’s made up of people. People like you who got together with other people to try to enact their views and vision for the country.
If you don’t like that vision, you need to get with other people who share your vision, start from the ground up, win local elections and start changing the party bit by bit. But this is hard work and much more difficult than screaming that the octogenarian politicians are ruining your life when nobody your age is actually doing anything to replace them because no younger people want to become career politicians.
