The global South has a right to protect its sovereignty from rich Western assholes coming in to scoop up cheap land to build their summer villas. Tourism is a factor of imperialist exploitation too.

Yeah because we killed all their predators to protect our livestock.

The Lake of Fire is actually a happening beach resort run by Satan’s failson. He calls himself the antichrist: his name is Doug.

Once you have a high enough heat tolerance you can start to actually taste stuff, even when it’s melting your face off.

Ghost peppers are fruity, with an almost cherry-like flavor. If you can handle them they’re a great enhancer for candy!

I still don’t get actual “left” and “right” definition by Westerner.

The vast majority of Westerners don’t even really know what “left” or “right” mean. It’s going to be really confusing to rely on Westerners to self-identify their political beliefs, because every liberal seems to think they’re a leftist.

For example, people that support native people to be protected from encrouchment of their forest, as well as unmitigated immigration that will drive out them will considered both “left” and “right” side from Westerner.

It helps if we frame this in a context of imperialism and colonialism.

A refugee from Syria moving into Greece isn’t encroaching on anyone’s forests. That stands in stark contrast with a multinational corporation coming to DRC, clear cutting the forest, strip mining the mountains, poisoning the water, and paying pennies for labor.

Some Westerner also often assume their solution of problem is “the best” while all I can see is further division of society.

Absolutely. Any leftist in the West needs to spend their whole life unlearning their chauvinism.

Everyone should have PTO that they can use whenever they want.

Maybe this will help: the left are the only ones that want to help everyone. The right wants to help themselves.

That does hurt Reddits usability for users, though, which is bad for business in general.

Yeah, normal people do not care about anything outside the very small bubble of their own life. They have a few interests, a few hobbies, watch a few shows, know a few other people, and that’s… kind of it.

You read the Adjuster’s manifesto? It’s neither “liberal” nor “conservative”, but rather, has elements of both the left and right i.e. moderate according to your data. That’s just the US. People are incoherent in their ideas.

Gen Z is just more extreme in their views, regardless of what their actual politics are.

The rightists want a Reich, the leftists want a global communist revolution, and there’s no center.

Am girl

Just grow em in a lab. Dirt diamonds are for boomers.

Yeah, as of aesthetic imperfections can’t be grown in a lab.

“They” aren’t on Lemmy dude. Our underwater basket weaving forum is safe.

Plenty of untipped jobs are seen as being undeserving of a living wage, though, so I don’t follow your logic.

I don’t recommend LW, it’s full of Redditeurs and defederated from instances I like such as hexbear and lemmygrad. But I did start there, because that was the one recommended to me.

But that didn’t stop me from migration when the admins of that server started making choices I didn’t like. That’s what federation is good for, and looking back my experience is now better than before.

Let people join bad instances and then figure out federation later. Getting that foot in the door is what matters most.

Oops, embarrassing. 😅

I have not been convinced lemmy.world being the largest instance is actually a bad thing. It’s bad for federation, I suppose, but they’re all Redditeurs and I appreciate having a containment zone for them.

And yet I’m the one on lemmy.ml and you’re the one on lemmy.world 🤔

It wasn’t that long before you were born that the Black Panthers marched in the streets with guns to confront murderous cops.

Things look bad because people here have had it too good for too long. We won the Cold War, it was the end of history!

But the good times are coming to an end and America’s chickens are coming home to roost.

I wonder how many police stations will burn this time.
