Exactly right, glad you find it inspiring!

There is space all around you, occupy some today!

sit in a local bar and talk with pro maga

Isn't OP going through enough?

Oh, I definitely get where you were coming from, and I agree, it seems like even the bare minimum is too big of an ask from some people, mine was more of a reminder that we really should be aiming for more (and not an implication that you don't, sorry if it came across that way).

Sure thing, you're doing a good thing, and I genuinely hope to find (at least) a therapist one day who gets it in the same way.

It’s important to understand how different people are, and be ok with that.

You don't even need to understand, just respect.

Something doesn't have to affect you personally for it to be evil and need to be stopped, that's how allyship works.

A better way to look at it would be "is this harming anyone? It isn't? Who cares." (with the clear understanding that fighting back against oppression is self defence, not initiating harm)

I, a fully grown adult, have a folder of memes I wish I could show ever medical person who was or is ever involved in my care.

Often, especially being autistic, and even more so being in chronic pain, remembering all the things you need to say and getting them out without interruption or distraction can be impossible, I wish communicating to medical staff via memes were normalised. Please spread the word among your colleagues.

Ha, I knew there was a public lob, but I just assumed it was separate for each community, the penny never dropped that it was fed-wide, and searchable by user! TIL, thanks :)

Wait, I have a modlog? 😂

But yeah, I've seen that team do this same kind of shit quite a few times, where they'll delete the comment calling out bigotry/trolling for not being "civil" but leave the bigotry/trolling itself. It's classic tone policing which actively enables that shit, it's gross. And yet, they've managed to monopolise large parts of lemmy, which is a great shame because it's where most people congregate, but then that's the beauty of the fediverse, there are plenty of alternative communities, that might not be as active or populated, but all things considered, that's really not a bad thing. ¯(ツ)/¯

I would go to Europe

Lol, as if the right isn't on the rise pretty much everywhere and WW3 is brewing in our own back yard..

Capitalism is decaying in to fascism globally and rapidly. Wherever you go in the world, you WILL be up against varying levels of the same bullshit, and while I understand less bullshit is easier to live with, without active resistance, it becomes more bullshit real fucking quick, and you'll be back where you started.

Realistically there's only so much you can do, and sometimes it seems like for every one you push back against 3 more turn up. And the worst part is that we do our best to avoid them and their spaces, and stay in our own, but they come looking and just, can't fucking not. And they come from all walks of life and political leanings. (sure, some more than others, but still all). It feels like a losing battle most of the time.

At this point I usually just block and move on, I can't imagine having to moderate this mess.

In keeping with the theme of OP - a few weeks ago, on a post about that horrific case in France where the man got dozens of strangers to rape his wife, a good 70% of replies were some variation on "not all men", and I posted this meme in reply to one of them, and my reply got removed for breaking the rules (not being civil!), but not a single one of theirs was. This was on one of the main news communities on this site. I blocked it after that, and all the other communities the mods mod. Fuck that noise.

It’s surprisingly easy being a shitbag of a human; all you need is a lack of conscience

And it's surprisingly easy not to be, too - learn that sometimes it's ok, if not preferable, to shut the fuck up and listen to people taking bout their experience, without making it about you (generic you, obviously not you, Shovel). But when the world and society generally cater to you, and you've been socialised with those levels of entitlement, that thought never even crosses their minds..

It would have a devastating effect on the eco system, since many flora and fauna depend on those leaves (for shelter, to feed on, to hunt in, to lay eggs on), and many more flora and fauna depend on those that depend on the leaves, and capitalism doesn't give a fuck so the leaves would promptly be removed from the environment by one corporation or another so that they can profit, and we'd be fucked even further.

Every.

Fucking.

Time.

And if I know the post you mean, it reminds me a lot of that gillette ad from a couple of years back, basically telling men they can do better, for each other if nothing else, and they came out in droves to shout that actually, they really fucking can't.

Patriarchy and the privilege it grants are one hell of a drug..

Oh, and since the exact people your post is about simply can't help themselves and are already pouring in to mansplain and make excuses for themselves, the obligatory:

But hey, this is great, keep telling on yourselves, it makes you easier to block and avoid.

another example would be if 1 person wanted to live in the city and the other wanted to live in a farm: likely a deal-breaker, just like not having sex

Only if living in the city is the same as bodily autonomy, and living on a farm is rape.

But hey, this is great, keep telling on yourselves, it makes you easier to block and avoid.

The bullshit at the top of this thread inspired me:
