I'm a white guy with a beard that actually hates politics. But go ahead and divide, push us away. It isn't racism if they're white.
Edit for the votes:Omg, thank you for all the downvotes. Most downvotes ever. -50 on lemmy let's goooooo
Edit edit edit edit for the votes omg: 💯 never been 🙌 😇 so much
Edit edit edit edit downvote edit edit up votes edit edit edit: honestly I thought making these edit edit edit 👏 🙌 👏 🙌 shitposts could push this past -100 but I'm left flaccid and gaping.
OMG, I came. TY. I am euphoric in this moment. Does anyone want to cuddle? Daddy downed me so hard.
I post comments that get downvotes because I know they will get downvotes. I can delete them at any time but don't. This isn't my first day on the internet. I can pay the internet points to watch other people think I care and get riled up.
I love that the internet today has completely forgotten the rule of don't feed the troll, cuz I'm hungry af.
I'll take more downvotes if you want to give them to me. I've been trying to get a comment to -50 and thought that one would do it, but idk if it's actually going to get there. It's close but the momentum has slowed.
I thought it was easy trolling hobby forums in 2006, I've never before been able to rake in this much hate. I would shitpost very intricate things just to get -10 rep or whatever the forum named it. We're this deep and I'm still making that many people butthurt. I've been getting disappointed with the internet lately but this is actual engagement.
I think the down votes are because you're self victimizing. You came in looking for a fight right off the back in the comments. Also nobody here was dividing you except yourself.
Can you expand on this? If someone is gay, walking around holding their husband's hand, does that do it? What if a man is holding his wife's hand?
Whatever the people that control your life are doing.
I'm not sure I understand. You said you hate politics, but this was your answer for what politics is. Who are the people? Do you have examples of the things they're doing? Is it like, needing a driver's license? Tax rates? Spending tax money on libraries? Making abortion illegal?
Difference and diversity is good, division is bad. Division is you’re either on my side or you’re against me.
Let's say there's one faction that says, to use a hot button example, "Gay people should not be allowed to marry" and another that says "Gay people should be allowed to marry." How is a member of faction 1 supposed to interact with faction 2? They are in fact on opposite sides of an issue. Or to use a more extreme example, "Black people should be allowed to eat indoors" versus "Black people should not be allowed to eat indoors".
Is the problem there the division itself? Would it be okay for you if everyone agreed, no matter which side, so long as they agree to something?
Any decisions made based on race.
This is a common, colloquial, usage of racism. Sometimes people will focus on the large societal level rather than the individual. Per wikipedia:
Academics commonly define racism not only in terms of individual prejudice, but also in terms of a power structure that protects the interests of the dominant culture and actively discriminates against ethnic minorities.[48][49] From this perspective, while members of ethnic minorities may be prejudiced against members of the dominant culture, they lack the political and economic power to actively oppress them, and they are therefore not practicing "racism".[2][48][55]
I'm not really equipped to debate this usage, but it may be worth keeping in mind that that's what some people mean. Thank you for answering.
Of course not, please describe that in intricate detail to me. Please spend at least 15 minutes.
Heuristics are generally a cheaper approach to a problem that isn't guaranteed to be as accurate. Often this is useful when the expense of a more correct approach costs too much in time or other resources. Stereotypes are a kind of heuristic. They're not always accurate or kind, but they are faster and cheaper.
Honestly I'm not entirely sure I'm using this concept correctly. But what I was getting at was the experience of "All the previous maga-hats I encountered were hostile, so this one might be, too." It's not necessarily accurate, but it's fast, and sometimes that can save your life. Everyone uses this. Unfortunately, lots of us have bad ones, too.
If you'd like to be that detailed in discussion my pms are open. But I don't think you are. You can pm me at any point and haven't. I think you just want to engage in public right think against the wrong think. But you won't, this will get at least -15 downvotes at least. I'm basking in the narcissism. And people are too narcissistic to realize that.
The problem people here have with you is that you are more devoted to order than to justice. You prefer a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.
You're the type that constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action."
