Lemmy political pov: the universe should be free and open source
It specifically needs to run Linux… also there is a literal war about which distro it should use
Debian. It should run debian. We should genocide arch users.
Dual boot temple OS
You will never stamp us out btw!
They don’t call us the bleeding edge for nothin’
Ultramarine Linux: die heretics!
In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only distro wars
Hannah Montana OS
Actually it’s not an OS. And what you call "Hannah Montana is actually Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana or as I’ve started calling it Miley Cyrus + Hannah Montna.
Derpian
And money shouldn’t exist.
I will
git cloneuniverse
Redditors are communists? News to me.
They mixed up Lemmy and Reddit, Reddit is full of alt-right bigots
Lmao this is just as ridiculous as them saying Reddit is communist. Massive exaggeration in both cases
Can agree. On Lemmy now and I can feel the ghost of Marx over my shoulder whispering about the proletariat.
They follow me around and Downvote me, like literal ghosts…
Lemmy is tankie heaven
If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.
Alternatively, it can also mean there are a lot of assholes around. Especially of the tankie type. I just got downvoted from 20+ to 3. Will probably end up like -60 just for saying tankies suck.
COMUNISM IS A GREAT IDEA. what a shame their leaders are ALWAYS THUGS who spend YOUR MONEY IN MIAMI
It’s the algorithms. Except 4chan where that’s just how it do.
4chan was simply where everyone banned for extreme views everywhere else went because there were no rules or close to none.
Now as algorithms of social media sites have been chosen to dictate our daily news cycle, discussion topics and visibility of culture by engagement metrics alone, as are dominated by flashy, extremist content that appeals to our lowest instincts. Before humans curated content by trying to use human reasoning instead of relying on instinct alone. I think we have taken a step backwards in evolution culturally.
People with extreme views are also more vocal, so that’s what you see. That’s why social media is bad for you. If gives you a very distorted view of the world. Most people are able to look at politics with nuance.
This, plus everyone is concerned with engagement. If I say a perfectly normal statement on Facebook or X or whatever, no one will care so no one will comment or interact with it. If I say that Jesus wants us to make America white again, even the people who disagree with me will only be boosting my message by commenting.
Jesus wants us to make America white again
I love this. It’s so dumb in so many different ways, but I can easily see people unironically saying it.
This is (was) literally Mormonism.

Reminds me of
Of course the Bible was written in English. How else would Jesus, the greatest American ever, write it?
Enlightened centrist thoughts intensify
Centrism is a sign of a healthy, functioning Democracy. People are allowed to hold nuanced beliefs that don’t line up with yours and this “enlightened centrist” bullshit is just pure tribalism from people on the far fringes. You are contributing to creating an “in group” and an “out group” which historically has worked out very well for persons living in Communist and Fascist societies.
People even use centralism as a weapon as well though. They push the idea that the correct position in any debate is slap bang in the middle. Sometimes there is a demonstrably correct answer, and sitting in the middle is a bad thing.
But they’ll argue to the death that sitting on the fence is the best thing to do in every situation. I’ve had people claim that the Ukrainians should just negotiate with Russia (assuming that would be even be possible) because that would be the middle option between fighting them and surrendering.
I like to break out this when people claim centrist/moderate is neutral. Nazi’s: kill all Jews and Aryans. Non-Nazi’s: don’t kill Jews or non-Aryans. Moderates: let’s compromise and just kill Jews instead guys.
If 9 people sit at a table with 1 nazi and none leave or make the nazi leave, you have 10 Nazi’s sitting at a table.
If you try to compromise between two moral/legal viewpoints, you’re still supporting the worst side
