MODERATORS
Two things can be bad.
But one can be extremely worse.
And when one of those bad things is much much worse, it's an easy choice to pick the one that is less bad.
Tell that to millions of braindead Americans.
What do you think I've been doing?
Always a tankie from Lemmy.ml with a curious predisposition to defending Russia and China who espoused both sides false equivalence fallacies. How curious.
To be fair, they pretty much built this place. They were here before the whole Reddit thing, and they stuck around. Most normies just up and left.
I don’t particularly want to talk about the evils of capitalism in every thread. It’s really really bad, but I have diverse interests, and have some form of object permanence, it’s ok to talk about something else once in a while. But that’s the only content that gets any engagement here because we left and they stayed.
So chalk another one for the old small-d democratic notion of “decisions are made by those who show up”. This is the “get lectured by Tankies” social media network now.
Yknow, now that you say it, it does kinda make sense that the people simping for pro-Israel politicians would essentially barge into a space someone else built, decide it's theirs now, and try and kick out the people who were here first.
The problem with this place is that I can’t tell whether you’re serious or not.
Real talk. Don't judge them based on their instance though.
There are some very smart(if not misguided) users in .ml
suuure... also don't judge nazis just based on the nazi uniform, there are some smart, if not misguided, nazis!
Not trying to argue, but some user taught me to not be judgemental.
I hope to pass it on.
i think that sometimes you have to be judgemental... otherwise the person in the nazi uniform might think that that uniform is tolerated by others. it is clear that the judgement itself doesn't fix the problem, but you can't be tolerant to everything.
Very well put.
The Paradox of Tolerance
It’s a contract, not a paradox. If you opt out you are no longer covered by the terms of the contract.
Strong argument.
But there are Nazi voters who are genuinely good people otherwise. Yes they are ignorant.
I was going to try and defend them more, but I'm over it. I ain't going to Thanksgiving this year.
if you are nazi voter, you are not good person, that is not how being good person works.
