You must be hanging out in the wrong places then

Maybe I’m confusing replies, but didn’t the person I’m responding to ask ‘how did the US go wrong’?

Voting democrat, mostly

What solutions do democrats have that don’t end up just as funding?

You spend too much time online.

I don’t subscribe to the idea that tweets or message boards or ideas or ‘silence’ is violence.

The upvote system was invented to put relevant discussion to the top, and hide irrelevant discussion. What people have done with it is use it as a like/dislike button.

If that’s what it was, that’s what it would be called. Like Facebook, which has an actual ‘like’ button

But I do think people who even interact with the system are losers. That’s my personal, anecdotal, opinion of them

We all know how this works out in reality. 40+ million people are on food stamps and the graduation rate is much lower than the 80-100% that everyone expects from programs like this

It’s ‘throwing money at the problem’ doesn’t work. It never does.

Democrats only ever have one solution “throw money at it until it goes away”

Welfare was supposed to do this already. What welfare has turned into is a perpetual poverty situation for millions of people.

To the point where people are disincentivized to work, and perpetually stay on welfare.

Oh the ‘throw money at it’ solution to the problem that everyone online loves so much.

These solutions never work, btw. But let’s keep ‘experimenting’

Tech bros and communist teenagers aren’t ‘mainstream’.

Don’t believe everything you read on social media

Sure, but they’re children

Strange, it’s displaying as if I replied to a different comment than I intended to.

But really, I’m just mocking people who downvote others because they don’t agree with their comment. I think it’s really lame.

I’d like a place to talk to people, about contentious issues. I personally never use the downvote button and only occasionally even use the upvote button.

When I see a perfectly reasonable comment with -50 downvotes within minutes of posting … it makes me laugh at everyone who just can’t hit that downvote button fast enough.

So I’m really just mocking those people

I want to hear it.

And it’s a discussion community, there’s a topic and people respond. If you don’t like it just move on. No reason to tell anyone to shut up.

I get downvoted a lot too. But after reading this, I think the downvote buttons might actually mean you’re right, because there are a lot of retards on lemmy who drool their way through life and have no idea what they’re talking about.

Because you’re right. I can tell by the downvotes. The more you get, the fighter you are

There should be something to this. A lot of parents keep their children off of the internet, but having young children accessing ‘most’ of the internet is a bad fucking idea

Parents, monitor and limit your kids online. I know it’s hard as fuck, I know other kids will think it’s weird that your kid doesn’t know the new tiktok thing. Do it anyway

I have a question. If not having diversity and inclusion training is a ‘fascist overhaul of the curriculum’ …. Assuming that’s true ….

Does that mean that I grew up in a fascist west? Before diversity and inclusion were a thing anyone talked about?

I don’t understand how fascism just POPS into the discussion. Am I considered fascist, educated and born into a fascist regime?

I’m from the 80’s. It didn’t feel fascist to not grow up with diversity and inclusion classes

“Covid 19 is back, the Zeta variant is highly transmissible, but without any real side effects. the only way to ensure humanity’s survival is to destroy it by assimilating it”

“Assimilate today, we will all be the same. No more worry about being different. Being a different race, a different gender or a different sexual preference. We will be simply Borg instead. United and as one. Resistance is futile”

“If we all assimilate, we can cut CO2 emissions by 70%! Assimilate today, save the earth”

Welcome to the party, pal.

I guess…..
