They're already soft launching this with trans people's ID's

No, I got the point, it just really bothers me to trivialize sleeping in a tent. It's really hard and no you would not choose sleeping in a tent over an HOA. That's what anybody chooses an HOA. Because homelessness, which sucks, is the only other choice for some people.

Well, you're gonna get arrested and they're going to steal your tent. Not in that order though. Have fun I guess.

Flock cameras make it look like there's a lot of crime in the area

[-] grayclouds@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

You absolutely would not rather live in a tent. Living in a tent really sucks.

Sure, but I saw these ads before that.

I don't think exterminating 50 families is worth it even if 50 other unrelated families get uplifted. At least, I don't think you can call it good or better. And I don't think any one specific theory or ideology is necessary for women's liberation. Women have historically liberated themselves using a myraid of different ideologies.

I don't think you can count theory alone as a "verifiable fact." The verifiable facts are the historically accurate first-person accounts of history which have been measured against corroborating witnesses and physical evidence. Marx wrote a book about his own thoughts and predictions. Some of these thoughts can be measured against reality and some of them cannot. Anybody can write down their thoughts, and the more intelligent you are, the more you can twist your words to make them sound good. Material reality and the lived experiences of real people matter more to me than what an intelligent person can make up or predict.

I find it hard to believe that every single person who died in a gulag was a Nazi collaborator, because not all of them were. Although we can't do it on Lemmy, it is possible to verify familial histories and first-person accounts. You're right about the fact that a lot of people lie on the internet so this whole discussion is kind of silly.

I'm sorry, this is too silly. Have a nice day.

This is difficult to respond to, but I'm going to try anyway.

I don't think your family's limited prosperity was worth the extermination of the other guy's family. Killing the Nazis is a very low bar for goodness. Americans also killed Nazis, and now look what's happening in the US.

If you have a bad situation, seeing someone else in a bad situation doesn't make your bad situation better, it just means that there are now two bad situations.

This is a wildly false comparison, social science theories can't be compared to physics. Now you're just being very silly on purpose.

I cannot have a lived experience with gravity which is contrary to the existence of gravity. It is literally impossible. Why am I wasting my time explaining this? You know how silly this is.

I'd argue that lived experience (material reality) is the only thing that actually matters, and that theory can be confabulated by anyone. edit: again assuming that this person is a real person, not saying that their history is the only one that matters, just that real world lived experience is more important than theory

This person seems to be speaking from personal lived experience, which, to me, is more valuable than theory alone. Assuming they're telling the truth, of course.
