I like the idea of people making sacrifices to help others. To anyone here who sacrifices to help others - i love you.

Id like to see more of that type of internationalism in the world. I think thats a great idea.

Theres no way it will ever happen tho, because neither us nor our votes decide these things. Its the capitalists who decide, and they chose a private for profit model of health insurance.

My favorite one is “March Against Japan”

Its not actually about Mao, but it is about a KMT soldier who gets rescued from a Japaneese prison camp by Communists and joins them to save his village from the Japaneese

Why should i get a new phone if old ones are cheaper? Nothing wrong with getting a new phone, but what are the actual benefits when my phone from 2010 is just fine for using lemmy?

Im glad theyre at least getting medical care. It makes me really sad to hear about so many good people dying on both sides of a very pointless war.

If everyone was nicer to eachother, then we wojldnt have conflict between NATO and Russia. Neither institutions would exist, if we all united as a human race.

I put larry the cucumber in my ass. I admit it.

Stop being a dick.

Its a total hypothetical designed to make you look smart, and scare people. Whoever thought of it probably squeezes hamsters for fun.

Comment on threads you agree with instead of disagree with and you won’t feel frustrated enough to go ugh. I know its difficult. I have trouble with it sometimes too.

The main reason I like Lemmy is that not everything is a debate yet. It reminds me of the old forum I had for my private WoW server as a teenager.

Also, sometimes I ask myself if something really affects me, and if its worth stressing over. Some things are important, so rather than ask myself if it affects me, I ask if I can do anything about it. If its out of my control, then it may as well be sports.

Im a tankie :)

Do u want to be friends?

It sounds nice. I wish i had been born in north korea so i didnt have to qork at a coal mine to hopefully someday buy a house.

Dying for your treats

2 out of 3 pwople in this did nothing wrong and you turn it into misanthropy. I love people but i hate redditors.

Sadsack nhilists are a plague.

Vaccines scary

I could see trying to change someones mind if you knew them closely, but otherwise its a waste of time. Racism and homophobia have social value because it isolates people they dont like. That is why they are open with their racism. If you try to change their mind, then not only will they not change their mind, not only will they report you to HR for harassing them, and not only will the homophobe running HR think youre a pussy, but a conga line of ugly fucking orcs is going to want to fight you now.

Its interesting you bring up the KKK, because its exactly that sort of prejudice i bring up. If you see one person say something that shocking and nobody is shocked, then they all agree. You can either realize that YOU are the outcast removed boy, or you can quit your job. If you fight it because youre the next Martin Luther King, then youll just get a bunch of harassment before you get tired and quit.

Ive lost so mqny great jobs because i thought id be openly gay in an industrial setting. Its not worth it, and neither is saying anything when cletus and jimbob are laughing about putting all thr trans people in a lathe along with the foreman. (Imagine their fake tits exploding when they hit the ground, and their wieners getting stuck in the bar! Herrherr herr herr. )

Now i keep my mouth shut and respect the fact that rednecks are subhumans that should all just be shot when they think these things. Sin e imtoo much of a pussy to go on a killing spree, i guess i just have to sit and get fucked, like how you should.

They aren’t able to shoot anyone who retreats, because they aren’t issued rifles.

I hear that they have green blood, and are incapable of emotions. That’s why the Russian government has to assign couples, otherwise their society would collapse from lack of love like it did in the 90s.

In fact Russia is so weak that its also a massive threat to the world and stability.

A world where conservatives don’t have the right to vote is possible, but can’t be done through electoral politics. Its not as lazy as “Lets overthrow the government man” either. You can work with your friends to create a network of powerful mass organizations. Things like worker owned small businesses (co ops), mutual aid programs, neighborhood watches, and unions! If enough people do that, then it will be way more effective than voting, because what those mass organizations do is not determined by the rich men north of Richmond.

If one of those organizations doesn’t exist in your area, then now you have an easy avenue towards making friends and meeting people. If you want to be liked, and enjoy getting yelled at, then this sort of local activism is great.

If one of those organizations exists in your area, then you don’t have to deal with the stress of being in any leadership position unless you really want to.

Especially if you live in a small community, you can run for local office once your mass organization is successful enough. At that point you should join a national organization that matches your groups ideals.
