This type of censorship never stops. There’s no doubt in my mind as this trend continues we’re going to see other taboo communities like piracy, not mainstream accepted politics, etc. ones being banned and their servers defederated.

We’ve already seen admins of this server removing comments and banning people for posting stuff they don’t agree with. I don’t see how Lemmy can succeed when we’re not even at like 2.5k users per day on the biggest server and the admins here are already going extreme on the censorship.

“Immigrants should be forced guided into places that us superior white people, who are above what I deem menial work, are needed born-in-country people struggle to live in.”

Adding onto the other poster’s comment, another reason is because the US will never pour unlimited money and resources into these people making sure they do.

Europe didn’t pull itself up by its own bootstraps after WWII.

Guess where most people live and want to live?

Can you explain how? All I see are lesbians and black people.

And why does China spying on me matter? It’s better than the West, no?

“We’re just looking out for the best interest of our children!”

A bunch of 35-45 year old Lemmy users bashing something they don’t use but something the kids do. Just like their boomer and silent gen parents.

You guys fucking suck. I’d say I hope you all have sad, pathetic lives, but I know you all already do.

Even excusing the policy, the design is actually pretty shit though. We’re all just used to it so it feels default and normal.

Nearly every city on the planet with a subway system disputes your bullshit.

It’s so funny how you guys operate. Even when confronted, you just cherry-pick what’s being said and strip away the context to push the exact same anti-science and anti-truth positions that were just given retorts. I don’t know if it’s ignorance or wilful deceit, but either way, people like you are a net negative to humanity.

If you knew anything, you’d know this isn’t the reason why getting vaccine approval takes so long. It takes so long because there’s a mountain of bureaucrats, lawyers, researchers, and money required to get stuff moving along. Vaccines are pretty low the totem pole for companies and the government to give a shit about, since they’re usually about prevention and not treatment. Companies and the government can’t throw everything at a vaccine to approve. The only reason the covid vaccine was streamlined was because, you guessed it, we were and are in a global pandemic. Nothing about the approval of vaccines was abnormal, it still took nearly 2.5 years.

There are mandated back doors in most message apps.

Source?

Hamas’s victims blood is on the hands of Israel. Hamas didn’t pop up from nowhere. This is all on Israel.

I don’t see this happening. Apple to/from Android are the only texts that the government can easily snoop on.

I think it has more to do with the lack of democracy, especially in the US. I guarantee you could get 100 regular Joes in a room to come up with a high speed rail project. You could never get that to happen with politicians at the mercy of the ruling class.

Do people think they’re funny and/or smart leaving comments like this? Literally anytime someone questions something, there’s this comment.

So if you were truly commited to your cause and you wanted your bloodline to die with you, then you could also [i do not condone selfharm, this is purely for argumentation].

I don’t have a cause. You’re putting words into my mouth because you don’t know how to argue in good faith.

You’re literally telling me to kill myself because you’re personally offended someone dare challenge your preconceived notions of the world. You’re a truly fucked up individual. I pray you don’t have or ever have any dependents. You’re a danger to society.

I think you might be glamorizing it a bit. Talking about politics was until “recently” considered very rude and taboo. There’s been a big culture shift in talking about politics in the past maybe 15-20 years or so. I don’t have any hard data and this is just my view, but I think a major turning point was when a lot of the country realized how fucked up the wars in the Middle East were. This put people squarely into two pretty emotional camps, pro-war and anti-war. Everyone* had an opinion. Everyone* was open about sharing that opinion. Over those few years 2003-2008 was probably the biggest shift in openly talking about politics among regular people. And since being open about politics was now in, here came the wave of loud and proud racism from “centrists” and conservatives once Obama was elected and it hasn’t died down since.

So, yeah, it’s real easy for discussions to get “hot” when one side is openly calling for all the -isms in the book and people on the other side finally realizing what’s happening.

I said parents are selfish for having kids. You can try to downplay it all you want, but you don’t have a kid for this future magical mystical kid. You have a kid for your own wants and needs over everything else. Just because having kids is an accepted action in society doesn’t make it not selfish. And since you think of “selfishness” as a bad thing, this makes your brain scramble and your cognitive dissonance go into overdrive causing you to come up with completely inept retorts like I’m “selfish” for simply existing and using resources that the Earth clearly has as I’m using them.

This is such an incredible leap in logic.

You can say that having kids is selfish, which it objectively is (no matter if they’re perfectly healthy/wealthy/on top of society or not), but also want to “build a society and world that will accept us, accommodate to us, liberate people and save the planet.”

Focusing on just kids with disabilities and not every kid is fucked though, with a lot of these people in these spaces.

There’s no other way to put it, having kids is extremely selfish.

It’s pretty much the epitome of selfishness.

I want to clarify though, this isn’t to say that calling only people who to have kids who happen to have disabilities “selfish.” Every single parent is extremely selfish (excluding some outliers, obviously, don’t “um actually” me).
