Comment on My people need me
modestmeme@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI said people, as in people in general, like to blame others. I followed that with differences between the current state of left and right wing in the U.S. And I was sarcastic about it when I used the word “diversity” in regards to the multitude of people the right hates vs the left shitting on the elderly because shitting on anyone else will be met with a great amount of scorn.

Yes, and I pointed out that sometimes blaming others is correct, and sometimes it isn’t. You can’t just say “everyone likes to blame others” and pretend this is a useful incite.

In the context of the post that was yet another “it’s the boomers’ fault”, generalization is just fine. Nuance and Lemmy don’t get along very well. But sure, “it’s not all ___ people” works. Just don’t phrase it that way….

Do you not see the irony of generalizing Lemmy while trying to flatten all generalizations as being the same?
