I’m too dumb to understand this or it’s more esoteric than I’m thinking.

Can someone help me get the jokes please?

• St Bernard = alcohol because cold ✅
• Dolphin = missing swimmers because they washed off ✅
• Rhino = pizza because you’re so hungry you eat a rhino ✅
• Beetle = pencil because??
• Chicken = floss because it gets stuck in your teeth ✅
• Snake = keys because??
• Cow = cereal because they give milk ✅

I think the number is a lot higher and the barrier of trust a lot lower than people think.

If you come across a vehicle accident and you are able to help someone generally people don’t even think and just take action to save another persons life.

In reactionary scenarios where direct intervention saves someone’s life, people help a lot more than you’d think.

As a species we generally have a bypass in our brains that makes us want to help others in desperate need.

I think many people underestimate the level of impulsivity associated with crime.

The average criminal who breaks and enters is not doing research based off your bumper stickers to determine your weekend routine so the house is empty.

They usually are just walking down the neighbourhood and spot an open door, run in and grab valuables then leave.

I’ve already blocked Lemmy world and I’m OOTL what happened now?

Do you really need to read volumes of theory to grasp what is fundamentally a rather straightforward concept?

Leftism shouldn’t be locked behind intellectual elitism.

TL;DR the capitalist state will use threats of violence/actual violence against threats to capitalism which includes those who stand for progressive ideals. Leftists believe this is a justification to use violence against the state.

What kind of diversity of thought are you looking for?

Could you give an example?

Is there an intellectually honest point of view that Donald Trump isn’t a fascist?

Well at the bare minimum you can unionise.

Hypothetically, if Hitler saved a child from being hit by a car would you publicly sing Hitlers praises and be happy to make positive quotes about it?

Does being on the right side of a single issue negate everything else?

Not sure I agree as it seems like black and white thinking.

I.e. I could imagine a scenario where someone is very obviously/admits to using neopronouns disingenuously and that would break my social contract with them to honour it.

If I make an assessment of neopronoun usage on a case by case basis I can still avoid witch hunts. It’s similar to how I determine in real life if someone is an asshole or not.

Another way; I can support a person who I genuinely believe uses neopronouns while denouncing and excluding someone who doesn’t.

My preference is for completely community moderated platform.

People essentially vote for content moderation. Likely susceptible to gamification but I’m still interested in seeing it in practice.

Is it still invalidating when someone using neopronouns is doing so disingenuously?

Mods will always be a problem.

I’ve yet to encounter a well adjusted human who voluntarily mods.

This sounds like some kind of an enlightened centrist take.

Educate me though, can you briefly describe your political philosophy?

Conservatives can quite frankly go somewhere else.

Their policies are terrible and the only redeeming qualities of most countries we live in are socialist.

Lemmy should reflect the actual political spectrum which is (IMO) Social Democrats on the far right and Tankies on the far left.

This was pretty much what set me on the path to radicalisation.

The system felt so unfair and then to learn that there were people who could do exactly this just because they were born into a family with large capital it was infuriating.

Bully for you.

When I eventually make the switch to Linux your efforts will make it even more seamless.

Every fucking time I want to leave some other neighbour comes out first and I have to wait for them to clear out before I can leave.

And they are so slow! Clear the public area swiftly you inconsiderate buffoons!
