  • You are not using these words correctly.

    Just because you do not agree with the post does not make it shitposting or trolling.

    Definition:

    In Internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, a newsgroup, forum, chat room, online video game, or blog, with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others' perception.

  • Then you don't know what real racism looks like.

    Take a look at what real people see as racist, I have shared posts where people call them out.

  • Just because people do not think or agree like you want them to, it does not make it shitposting.

    Here is the definition:

    In Internet culture, shitposting or trashposting is the act of using an online forum or social media page to post content that is of "aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality". Shitposts are generally intentionally designed to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort.

  • Here ya go:

  • Yes, only Mambo #5 has been found, originally in Cuba though.

    Then it was found again in Germany by Lou Bega.

    Let us keep searching!

    Video: why bad activists suck [15:10 | JUN 04 24 | Louis Rossmann] https://youtu.be/cir-gJDcC1o

    Summary

    1. The speaker discusses why algebra does not belong in activism, using the analogy of algebra being confined to a small room in high school.
    2. Activists unintentionally create algebraic equations in conversations, making listeners feel like they have to solve a problem by working backward.
    3. People resist change when they feel judged or told what to do, even for a good cause.
    4. Emotions and reactions play a significant role in activism related to climate change and COVID-19.
    5. Trying to change people's minds by shaming them or making them feel like bad people is ineffective.
    6. Presenting genuine truth and benefits without shaming is more likely to lead to positive outcomes.
    7. Advocating for the right to repair electronics without shaming individuals for their choices.
    8. Emphasizing the importance of personal investment in the issue and avoiding making individuals feel like the bad guy.
    9. Sharing factual information and evidence to encourage people to care about the issue without resorting to shaming tactics.
    10. Making activism relatable and not making the person you're talking to feel like the bad guy is crucial.
    11. People are conditioned to want to believe they are good humans and will believe lies if given the right incentive structure.
    12. Guiding someone to an idea by showing them the benefits or excitement of repair work is more effective than shaming them.
    13. Focusing on positive reinforcement rather than negative criticism to gain support for a cause.
    14. Not framing arguments in a way that makes people feel bad or obligated to agree is important.
    15. When people feel attacked or forced, they become irrational and resistant to reasoning.
    16. Presenting options as rights rather than obligations to foster a more positive and open response.
    17. Encouraging reflection on how to effectively communicate beliefs without alienating others and stressing the value of offering choices for repair rather than imposing mandates.
  • Ah, semantics.

    Here you go, so there is no further confusion, I hope.

    Raise your standards, then check out Sabby Sabs for a true example.

  • No one is afraid of "an independent and smart black woman".

  • Well, that can also be said for those that consume MSM vs. those on social media and the internet.

    There are also groups that voted for Obama, then turned around and voted for Trump. 

    Obama: Hope.

    Trump: Drain the swap.

    They might have learned to never trust a politician at face value.

  • Or, hear me out:

    Maybe, just maybe, it is due to the continuation of the status quo, similar to warmonger Hillary Clinton.

  • Edit: word


    Look at the communities that I mod.

    Do I have one for RFK Jr., nope.

    I have one for Jill Stein and the newly formed ACP.

  • I agree.

    They do need to work on improving their message. 

    They are just starting off, so they should be criticized so as to keep them true to their declaration. 

    Thanks for the feedback!

  • The duopoly choice is Bernie Sanders, even though he betrayed his movement and the people that helped fund and grow his grassroots campaign. 

    A non-duopoly choice is a 3rd Party candidate, Jill Stien, Green Party. 

  • It was planned all along!

    We have fallen for the propaganda, even when it was in front of our own eyes!

    They must have started sowing the seeds, which would result in a new and expanding furry culture for decades! 

  • I see it now!

    OP was able to edit post and add it.
