"Oh, in social structures when someone tries to make me do something, I just refuse. I can afford to tank whatever retribution they might have against me, because I am always in a secure state of life where my needs will be met"

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 13 points 1 hour ago

"Refusing to do dumb shit reeks of privilege because there are people who can't afford to refuse to do dumb shit" is a take right along with "curing cancer is unfair to people who already died of cancer".

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

My guy, there are people who have jobs they HAVE TO keep, relations that they HAVE TO maintain, otherwise they find themselves out on the fucking street. That’s what I’m talking about. Not everyone has their life in a state where they can just flat out say “FUCK YOU” to whoever they want. Being able to say “FUCK YOU” to whoever they want is a privilage.

It's telling that you just assume none of us have ever willingly ended up on the street over our aherence to personal conviction. That we've only ever been the only person we can be in select positions of privledge and never suffered severe cobsequences for it.

It's the assumption made by the kind of cowards who then chastise me as being irresponsible for having the courage to repeatedly face down those exact consequences.

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!! I NEEDED THE MONEY!! THAT'S WHY I HAD TO WORK AS A GUARD AT THE CONCENTRATION CAMP!! MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE STARVED LIKE THE PRISONERS!! NOOOO!!"

same shit, different degree. Having morals and principles means facing consequences and sometimes people don't want to face those consequences, so they do away with their morals. They had to do it, don't you see?

[-] Entertainmeonly 8 points 1 hour ago

I guess getting an answer to a question of "why" is privileged. Thanks.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

... the privilage is not getting to ask why, it's "fuck you and the consequences" and refusal.

[-] Entertainmeonly 4 points 1 hour ago

Someone tells me to do something or they will punish me without explanation does seem rather privileged. If an explanation can't be produced then who's privilege trumps who's?

First off little lady, you lost the plot. Second, you are arguing in favor of never questioning an authority. I was raised punk rock. We question. If the answer sucks thats on you not me. Fuck you is an appropriate answer to anyone who can't explain why they are hurting you.

I am not miss reading social cues, I don't have an issue with authority, I am fully away how the world works. When I ask why are my fellow citizens getting snagged off the street and not even allowed to show paperwork? Should we go ahead and throw due process out cause someone might think I'm privileged?

you have a problem with authority

(that's good)

Until it gets in the way of your money earning activities

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 hours ago

No. No, still good. Just inconvenient to capitulation.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 36 points 7 hours ago

Authority is given and therefore earned. If you're in a position of authority but don't continuously earn it, I will not respect you or your decisions.

Use of the word 'respect' especially if it's stated as an obligation, is the biggest tell that i will never, ever, ever respect a 'person'

Where can I get a dancing stuffed toy for this song?

[-] Zorsith 71 points 10 hours ago

Telling me to do something i was already gonna do though, that just makes it a million times harder.

[-] NoTagBacks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 85 points 11 hours ago

This, except I legitimately do have a problem with authority. Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

[-] SandmanXC@lemmy.world 40 points 10 hours ago

Except of you explain your reasoning and I see where you're coming from. Motherfucker.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 7 hours ago

Thats "being convincing" and not "authority" tho no?

[-] sem 2 points 3 hours ago

The reason could relate to their authority.

I am still pissed that my lack of blind obedience was seen as the worst symptoms of my disability as a child

[-] SharkWeek 47 points 9 hours ago

See also: following the rules too precisely.

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago

Funny, because as a little kid who wanted to do everything "the right way" and who got in trouble when I didn't "follow directions," I also got in trouble for helping kids that didn't know/pay attention to given directions. Apparently that's called "bossy" and it's wrong?

Truth is: there is no right choice. It depends entirely on the authority figure around at the moment and whatever preconceived notions they have about you. Hell yeah I have a problem with authority. If they followed rules as consistently as they expect those in their charge to, I'd actually have respect for them.

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 8 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I used to be like that but often once you do it you understand why much easier than by having it explained. If not you can still ask. I made things more difficult for myself by thinking I can or have to control my entire life.

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
