It must be nice to have such wild self-belief.
- Comment on Reform given record-breaking £72m by two crypto billionaires 2 weeks ago:
I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re saying. I believe that Reform represents a cancer on society; but you don’t build a better future by writing a huger chunk of people off as beyond understanding.
- Comment on Reform given record-breaking £72m by two crypto billionaires 2 weeks ago:
It has been proved over and over, UK and overseas, that the non-millionaires/not wealthy people voting for right wing populists (MAGA, Reform, AfD, RN) are doing so for emotional not logical reasons. You can’t argue people out of a position they didnt use logic to get to.
This implies that everyone else used logic to arrive at their points of view. I don’t believe this is true for the most part. I think it is almost impossible to make a logical political choice given the complexity of the world we inhabit.
To argue that your position is grounded in logic whilst the ‘other’ group is ground in emotion is an ego-inflating fantasy. You are more like the reform voters than you would like you believe.

I think this is a dangerous view to hold. It feels nice to tarnish them like this but it leaves open the risk of never actually allowing us to understand their motives.
A large swathe of the media did this with Brexit, and those dragons were never put back into their cage.

I think they do see it, but they see themselves as realists; some of them see it as refreshing that the corruption of democracy is out in the open rather than being hidden.

- Comment on Record 128 people cross Channel in one small boat 2 months ago:
Except there’s not one person crossing in a small boat who is a good person.
I mean this is such an outrageous statement that I will not engage with you further than to say this:
These are clearly desperate people. In my view there is nothing so inherently great about Britain that it is worth paying tens of thousands of pounds to get into it on a death dinghy.
There are no good and bad people, no good and bad immigrants. You’ve bought into a lie.

I know this is No Stupid Questions, bu has something happened to Lemmy?
Is someone inflitrating lemmy with a load of troll accounts designed to rile up outrage?
- Comment on Record 128 people cross Channel in one small boat 2 months ago:
I prefer to call a spade a spade.
Also, I’m not sure that people in small boats are making anyone look bad, I think it’s more the rhetoric and latent xenophobia.
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

It’s all about context. Deliberately exposing yourself without consent to someone could cause similar harm.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Maybe google the word “Consent”. It might do you a world of wonders.
I think that is one thing the original post is missing and I am suggesting is necessary.

Imagine trying to tell everyone else that your culture and belief system is right and others are wrong.
Quite imperialist.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
So in the same vain you think it would be acceptable for the protagonist of this meme to start cutting themselves as an act of self-harm infront of other people? No matter if it made them uncomfortable?

feeling sorry for lots of the people in this thread and their prudish mindsets
Well why try and shame them for their culture?
