Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about “I can’t use muh slurs, this is awful.”

“The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media.” /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn’t far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they’re lying, they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy.

    I agree. While I generally dislike its usage in media and political discussion, society is the correct term for a population under a shared set of circumstances who are together affected by changes in policy.

    I know it unfair to put the responsibility, or blame, on any one invidividual. Even the loudest evil person with a lot of influence is only powerful due to systemic and voluntary allowance of power.

    I know companies with their massive waste production contribute exponentially more to climate than the choices of all individuals.

    Still, some people have more power and influence than others. Those individuals are empowered to make decisons that affect the lives of millions of people. It is not some evil cloud silently fucking everything up.

    Anyways, yes, the solution to these problems will always be collective action. My viewpoint only serve to mythologize the individual and does not address the fact that it is the complecency of a massive number of people that allows bad things to happen.
