Maybe, but this isn’t just any year, this is THE year of the linux desktop.

How can I say they are flawed? I’m not an expert in politics. One side tells me they are correct, the other tells me not. If I took the time to research it then maybe I could understand and make my own opinion, but there are so many (imo) more interesting things to research than politics.

But honestly, if you think relating opinions you disagree with is harmful, then perhaps you’re already too far gone. Everyone who truly believes my so-called “claims” are wrong should have no problem just ignoring them. Those who could actually be persuaded they are true do not know enough to make an informed decision about which side is correct, or if any is, anyway.

This is insane. I have nothing agaisnt trans people, I don’t know where you got that idea. Then doing whatever they want to their bodies affects in no way whatsoever.

This is a subject I know little about. On one hand there’s lemmy’s opinion, on the other there’s IRL’s opinion and they are very different. I did the exact same to them, brought them lemmy’s arguments. Unfortuntately they reacted the exact same as you, called me a woke socialist and moved on.

I don’t know why you’d send me to r/conservative, I’m a leftist and will surely always be, though I’m sure not as extreme as you. It’s true though lemmy brought me closer to the right than I’ve ever been.

When did I ever make a claim? The first sentence of my first comment was literally that this was what I heard, not that it was the truth.

I myself don’t care enough about politics to really know what the situation is, hence why I did not state my opinion on the matter, but one thing I do know is that what lemmy seems to think is very different from what people actually think when you leave your basement.

To quote Russell:

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Lemmy, just like far-right forums, seems to be full of people sure of themselves.

I’m not pushing anything, I’m relating the opinions of people around me. Why the fuck would you expect me to bring evidence for that? I don’t know shit about this issue, I’m telling you what I hear people say. Argue with them not me.

I agree with all of this, really it’s the ugly 1% that most conservatives are upset about.

What else do you expect? I’m not giving you a scientific paper here, I’m giving you a testimony. Ever heard of those? Mostly it’s the info I gathered over the christmas holidays from younger people who are still in school.

It’s what I explained. Not that it is literally that, but that the way they talk about it can sometimes be seen as pushy. All I know is what my young family members tell me, this was not a thing when I was at school.

This only happens on mobile, so I can’t really check the console.

I just went ahead and filled it on my computer instead.

Most people don’t have a clue. I remember mentionning the word byzantine at the dinner table when I was a teenager and was told “you play too many games and read too many books, this is reality, there’s no such thing as a byzantine”.

When I showed them the wikipedia page about it, “it’s not because it’s on the internet that it’s true”. Yet here we are, in 2024, where they are glued to facebook believing some of the wildest things.

I’m reading this at night though. Think of all the poor souls that will get flashbanged in the next few hours.
