You’re telling me to kill myself? And you’re getting upvotes? Lemmy has changed. Then again, Lemmy has always had a hard-on for politicians. Enjoy the circlejerk.

That’s the silliest thing I’ve heard in a while

I think the rates of ethical people across the two are the same. Just have to relate the politicians to the same ranking as a CEO/board member.

Why aren’t we seeing this type of energy towards politicians? They’re the ones making the laws that companies exploit.

Too many

It’s symbiotic

The millionaires/billionaires are just sharks in the ocean of capitalism and politicians nurture the conditions to make it possible for them to eat. Unfortunately, politicians feed off of the sharks in true capitalist fashion. Why are lawmakers allowed to trade stocks?

Politicians are the only ones that can really make change outside of driving sharks to extinction.

Who is Guy Fawkes?…

Majority of Lemmy would not give money to homeless people. That’s crazy. No empathy for the poor.

Being poor isn’t hot right now. Only Gaza, trans and abortions.

My opinion is no. They can then use it to buy drugs or alcohol, which is unfortunately likely.

Maybe you could donate to some homeless shelter?
Or maybe, you could try asking if you could buy them some food instead.

wtf?!? Is this Lemmy?? How did this comment get more likes than dislikes? I’m gonna post the same thing and see what happens.

Haha sarcasm I presume. Boycotting certain restaurants or goods would be effective. I myself get take out more than I should or need to.

That’s the spirit! Isn’t that what we pay taxes for?

Unfortunately, that’s what it’s gonna take. I’m seeing it slightly in the automobile industry.

Haha I unfortunately count in the consumerist masses. Don’t use credit much anymore, but definitely addicted to Amazon Prime.

If people pay for the higher prices then it doesn’t matter. The general public would need to boycott or literally not be able to afford the prices of the good. Unfortunately, we all are very poorly disciplined in that regard, myself included.

You’re right. Most people will still vote for the primary candidates, but in an election like this past one where we could have had Harris and a white man on the Dem ticket, RCV could have swung the vote blue.

And no, alone it will not fix the problems, but it’s a key change. Yall have around 20% of offices held by third party or independent. US has none or close to none.

RCV

Augmented Reality
Virtual Reality
Security haha

I’m sorry, what? Living in reality is happiness. Pretending the world is what it is not is depressing because one day you’ll have to come to terms with reality and it’ll shatter you.

Explain to me how your country has come into existence and remains peaceful (assuming it’s peaceful) without violence.

I’m not saying peace doesn’t exist, but it’s yin and yang. The world isn’t flowers and rainbows and cannot possibly be that as our species currently exists today. If you believe that, then you are living in a bubble and willfully ignorant of human nature when peace or survival is threatened. Everything is violent when it has to be.

You have the privilege of being peaceful because of the threat of violence. We’re still just animals when it really comes down to it.
