I find the political discourse, at least on some topics, very juvenile on Lemmy. You know, screeching about how billionaires aren't people but parasites and need to die, hundreds of upvotes. That's some edgy, frustrated teenager bullshit. Or at least it should be, guess some people never got the memo about inalienable rights, equal treatment, vigilantism and how two wrongs don't make a right.

Seriously, this thirst for blood is disturbing and if it isn't just venting then, well, look how the French Revolution turned on people. That wasn't very poggers.

There's also this idea that everybody who isn't 100% on board needs to be defooed and marked, preferably as a fascist. Which plays into the hands of the actual fascists because the non-fascists hate each other too much to collectively tell them to fuck off, despite their differences.

There, that's my venting done for today.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
