I think most people are tired of others making choices for them, rather than explicitly being in favor of federating with Threads.

It's wild how many YouGov polls hit the front page of Lemmy. Regardless if you like the results or not, the polls are worthless trash that means nothing.

True.

But do you believe the actual people commiting the genocide and manipulating Facebook shouldn't be held accountable for their actions?

I'd imagine is because Myanmars situation is way more complicated than Facebook "undoubtedly caused a genocide".

Seems like it's getting trivialized to shit on Facebook

Oh yeah, I'm not trying to blame a fan base over the actions of a group/artist. I also don't know what type of music the original post is about. Maybe they do make music thats like "we are Nazis and so are you if you sre listening" and then I'd probably be understanding of consequences of being fans.

But that Nazi salute is definitely not the only documented racism by Pantera members, and I'm sure you know that.

That doesn't make their fans racist imo

Oh yeah, and I'd imagine if something like NATO decided to take that path forward in the future, it would probably be possible to beat Russia by killing Russians. I also imagine it would be relatively quick tbh.

But for humanities sake, I hope they can put together a better, more surgical way to remove the cancer from Russia.

While I agree with the sentiment, it's not like "we" are trying to beat Russia, right? Ukraine is defending itself. I'd imagine the story would be a little different if the goal was to beat Russia(like a full effort), rather than defend Ukraine.

Oh yeah, at it's root, it was already bad.

I'm always interested in a decent discussion or thought experiment though, even if I completely disagree with the other person. 99% are so lazy nowadays it's not even interesting reading their copy/paste comments that have been recycled for the last decade

Even without defining those parameters, I also thought it was sort of strange to compare a political party vs country.

It's an irrelevant question leading into a off topic point that you'd like to make. If you'd like to deliver a point, go ahead and comment it. Not my job to try and land your point for you though.

I'm confused by the whole comment line. Do I seem like I'm outraging, or have any strong opinions any way that needs to be clarified?

What a strange and leading question.

Imagine being able to buy a brand new 90s Corolla for 10k. That'd be nice

Nazis are obviously bad, but this comment makes me think that anyone you don't like/like their comments/replies, you consider a Nazi?

I don't know shit about this band/this type of music... is it actually the kind of music that only Nazis would listen to?

Like, if someone leaked a Pantera fan list, I guess I wouldn't be on the wagon to ruin all their lives, even though Pantera is pretty well known for racism, shouting White Power and Nazi sautes n shit.

if you didn't know about Pantera

But, plenty of chain grocery stores do have their bread baked off-site and delivered.

Seems like anything could be a slur if used in an offensive context then, right?

Like, if I said "okay tomato", you could take it as offensive it in turns tomato into a slur.

I guess I'm just thinking while typing here, but if that's what a slur is, maybe we need a new term for contextless offensive words?

Just curious. Would saying something like "youngin" be considered a slur as well then?

Death, taxes and this post on Lemmy

I'd imagine the idea of being the "good guy" is to represent what to populus wants.

What's the point of taking down Putin for another Putin?
