You got downvoted too, lol.

People in Lemmy can be odd. I’ve noticed that, once in a while, I may pick up a stan. After a possibly terse exchange, I’ll see all comments/posts have, like, as single downvote for a few days.

If you think insults are charity, it would appear that you’re the one who is confused.

👅

Oops, fixed!

That’s a GOP golden oldie. I’ve heard that same bs line since the early 90s at least.

The only time we elected a president more than twice, it was a Socialist, and he was so popular that we had to pass a law after he was elected a fourth time so it didn’t happen again.

Edit: fixed!

what about men picking the bear?

actually, that user (@slurpinderpin) just got banned from !comics@lemmy.ml 14 minutes ago, lol

someone should make c/ShitLemmySays and this should be the inaugural post

it also teaches their kid that selfish motivations and material rewards are the only things of value, and that they're worth liying, cheating, and even stealing for-- as long as you don't get caught, because right and wrong are only a matter of the consequences one may personally face. and, even then, it's a cost-benefit analysis. again, the zero-sum game.

don't be obtuse

It’s an expected outcome, but that doesn’t make it right.

i didn't say that

I’m really not sure what the appropriate reaction should be.

not to be surprised that it happened, for one. and, while universities do generally, have an atmosphere which support free expression, and many even have somewhat permissive protest policies, they're private property. now, i'm not defending the actions of the universities, but i'm saying that getting arrested for protesting on private property vs while protesting on public property are two different things-- and one isn't nearly as outrageous as the other.

part of civil disobedience is getting arrested.

because they've been taught that life is a zero-sum game: if anyone else's life improves - even just a little - it must necessarily come at the cost of someone else's life getting worse. this isn't true, of course, but they can't see life as any other way, so the ideas of equality and working together to improve society are antithetical to their worldview. they're to be fought. They have an "every man for himself" philosophy, and it's nothing but selfish, self-centered solipsism.

🧠 💥 : work isn't inherently degrading, it just needs to get the regulation it deserves.

exactly. i understand that doing bad things is bad because i feel guilt and shame when i do bad things. conversely, i feel good when i do good things. I also understand the broader implications of both-- not to mention that i have empathy and can see the impact of my actions upon others while caring as well.

i don't need a fairy tale to threaten me with eternal torture in order to not be a sociopath.

This person is openly telling you that the only thing stopping them from being a shitty person is some myth about otherworldly punishment after they die.

Which, of course, means they’ll be juuuust as shitty as they believe they can get away with.

is this true? not the higher protein count part, but the rest

Hope to see you in !tenforward@lemmy.world

I think you forgot the /s

I never said I was confused
