r/politics problem isn’t that it’s infested with maga nonsense….idk what you’re even talking about.

R/politics problem is that it’s a doomer cesspool that doesn’t actually like talking about politics, but likes to complain and talk about Trump all the time.

I’m a borderline socialist, so pretty left leaning, and that subreddit is way too toxic for me. I’m not interested in that type of discourse.

It’s 100% going to be.

Lemmy isn’t “special”. I’ve already seen hot takes and other things to get people riled up on Lemmy.

Not even trying to say the Netherlands is a bad place or anything. My point was more to bring up the idea that our “just not bikes” friend is really focusing on a narrow list of things, when there are many reasons to not move somewhere new.

His idea that we should all abandon North America is just wild to me lol. There are so many other things to take into account.

My salary would drop by almost half if I got an equivalent job in Europe. Bro, this is why I live in the US to begin with lol.

You guys have a warped perspective. Besides major infrastructure, most of the issues the feds aren’t even present in. It’s almost entirely local government, and they are a lot easier to change and influence.

This is one of the main reasons I don’t really like the channel.

I like the content, I like the ideas presented. That is why I watch it.

I kinda don’t like the guy though.

He also has major grass is greener syndrome in that he has distilled his entire life seemingly to the specific issues he talks about in the video and nothing else.

Like the Netherlands is his main place right? Well they are pretty damn racist over there. Even if it isn’t in your face, it’s always subtle. And to other white people. Romanians and Bulgarians get discriminated against all the time.

Example: My cousin gf (Romanian) applied for housing as as she now has an internship. Over email and the phone she was told yea there are many units available.

First time she goes to talk to them in person, all of a sudden nothing is available. Listings still show housing availability lol.

Her English is pretty good, but she has a clear accent.

So she makes my cousins (her bf) go in person. Except he doesn’t tell them he’s with her. He has better English, more neutral accent. There are units available of course.

Lol.

I’m glad he refers people to other resources to check out, but……I just don’t like his attitude lol.

100%. A great emotional experience.

Still don’t. This isn’t a VISA.

ChatGPT isn’t that good at code generation lol.

I literally saw a guy earlier today in that one large memes thread trying to convince people that Eastern European countries yearn for the USSR days.

Only tankies try to do that lol.

Lol half the comments are “idk what you’re talking about”. A good chunk are proving OP right, and the rest is America hate.

Exactly like on Reddit. Literally isn’t any different here.

This is some big brain snowflake behavior.

I wasn’t gonna start a fight here though lol. The entire place was infested with tankies. The dude I responded to is probably a tankie.

I laughed when the complaint was liberals invading Lemmy lmao.

What? The whole point of Lemmy is to be defederated. A leftist safe zone still exists, they have their own instance.

Lemmy got rid of the auto refresh you’re referring to. No more live updates.

How is Microsoft and Target rebrands when it literally still says Microsoft and Target?

Can I get an explanation as to how these companies are “marketers of ai panic”?

You’re so right lol. Most of these memes are completely brain dead.

It’s the dominant economic idea in the entire western world.

Even the Social democracies like Sweden are just a degree of neo liberalism. You won’t find most people saying they want communism.

If anything hardcore leftists are out of touch, including the OP.

You can downvote me all you want, but it’s no secret that this instance was essentially a communist refuge lol.

You’re right, this is an unpopular opinion.

I find it funny that

1. You care this much about what other people drive when it has nothing to do with safety.

2. Think people even think about Elon when they buy a Tesla.

It’s complicated. A military coup happened against the King and put fascists in power. That’s when getting friendly with Germany happened. Later on the King regained control and that’s when Romania switched sides to the allies.

And lol no, I don’t think fighting on the axis is the reason why people have a sour view on Russians and the USSR. I think the way the Soviets treat people is the reason they have a bad reputation.

You think it’s an accident that as soon as the USSR broke up the bordering countries tried to join NATO asap?
