Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Nobody making these sorts of arguments is going to go through a list of over a hundred links. What an absolutely ridiculous way to try to convince anyone of anything.
Isn't that part of the problem? There shouldn't be that many links. That's sorta the point.
In reality, if they were all catalogued, there would be hundreds of thousands, maybe millions.
Also: The most important part of this page is the essential reads section. That part doesn't change.
Whether you read em yourself or send em to your person to read—that's up to you.
But the point of that is to gather arguments and POVs that you might otherwise miss and apply to your offline life.
I, for example, really like Schneier's essay. It's very concise and powerful in translating the "why."
I sent this to an old family member who doesn't know the first thing about technology, and they understood it.
If it's not helpful to you, then it is what it is. Might be to someone else.
