On the surface level, yeah. But if you dig a bit deeper a religious person upholds the idea that religious belief is reasonable. When people have the opinion that religious belief is reasonable it causes measurable harm to everyone on this planet.

An individual believer cannot be separated from the religion.

If you’re dependent on the drug that’s an addiction. You may feel that your addiction is more justified than others, and that’s ok. Humans have been using drugs for thousands of years both recreationally and medicinally.

The problem with that is you’re framing it as something the left opposes. When pandering to the right the correct play is to frame it as something the right supports.

Yeah it’s a bit self-selective. “Trying something unfamiliar” is roughly synonymous with “learning”. And people who treat learning as a hobby tend to share a vibe as they say.

These days even Minecraft mods are one click to install hundreds at a time. The average person can get by with nothing more than folders on their desktop.

That’s just how the internet works. Early adopters are those willing to try something unfamiliar.

Lmao he sure does. Your… friend.

“Asians are smart because they’re obedient”

“Black guys have big dicks because they’re farm animals”

“Jews control the banks because they’re evil and want to control our way of life”

Not sure how that’s considered good racism.

Big yikes. I mean, sheesh. OP’s “Jews control the media” post.

Since you capitalised National Socialists like a proper noun I’ll assume you are referring to Nazis. The answer to that is yes, Nazis were not socialists. Socialists were among the first groups targeted by the Nazis after attaining majority power.

A bit like how communists were oppressed in the USSR, or how democrats are oppressed in North Korea.

The U.S. was more than happy to conflate Marxist-Leninists(tankies) with communists because it made communists look bad. Tankies are all in on continuing to conflate their own ideology with communism because they understand that being proud of right wing extremist ideology is a bad look.

I wouldn’t be crediting them with enacting good policy if it wasn’t progressive.

If you can show an example of opposing progress that is good I’m all in on that conservative policy.

The ESA was not good because it maintained the status quo. It was good because it was progressive. The fact that it was implemented during a conservative presidency is irrelevant.

If you think that right wing authoritarianism is communism, I’ve got a democratic republic to sell. The only way tankie logic is consistent is if you believe that Nazis were socialists and North Korea is democratic. But somehow those are not true yet the USSR was communist? You gotta stop gulping down the imperialist propaganda. I could forgive someone for believing it during the Red Scare, but these days there’s no excuse.

Tankie apologetics are a farce.

For example, Karl Marx. Clearly an intellectual as evidenced by his writings. But his colorblind/radical centrist take on minority rights fits right in with modern conservative extremists. And then the way he framed his opinions led to far right authoritarian regimes co-opting the label of communism.

Progressive policies implemented during a conservative presidency don’t seem like conservative policies.

Yeah I play games to enjoy the game, not to speculate on real money investments.

If you want confetti every time you make a trade, just play Robinhood.

It’s a bit of both. The increase in value for those who got in early is propped up by the hype of new bagholders.

Unlikely. The hype for crypto scams had fallen off hard in the last year. It peaked like two years ago.

With Reddit that data could be kept between the users and admins.

I do not have any insider knowledge regarding whether Reddit has received requests for user data.

An alias isn’t instant privacy. If you upvote your local sports team, downvote a local politician, etc and never comment anti-establishment sentiments that still builds a profile which could interest someone who has no need to have access to that information.

Kind of a bummer for anti-dictator memes. People might have thought they could maintain anonymity by upvoting without commenting. Better to not engage with it at all.
