    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.

      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.

      Lemmy is almost entirely incredibly shut-in discord kids, people who were too uptight to work out on reddit or other social media, neurodivergents 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.

      edit: your downvotes are telling. Might want to think about why a message like this effects you negatively. (No I don’t care to debate it, no don’t ask AI about it. THINK about it.)

        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.

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

      You can look at a turd from a 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?
