probably because it’s a bit rapey…
- Comment on This woman has nothing better to do 4 days ago:
okay, you know the owner of this franchise is more likely to align with the video recorder than the trans service worker, right? Likely, she was trying to end the interaction in a way that wouldn’t necessitate any real follow up with some other fuckass property owning piece of shit.

Hey, read the sources I provided.

That was a lot of words for, “yes, I forgot.”

Literally the most famous video game instance of it:

Maybe read a bit eh.

I guess Zionism is a bold innovation in video game storytelling now.
- Comment on I'm not sure they will 3 weeks ago:
Right so, this is definitely related to what “purity politics” means, but not what I was referencing. I’m talking about the (liberal) tendency on this site for people to supposedly challenge purity-based political systems and ideologies like fascism, white supremacy, and settler-colonialism one minute, and then accept “piece of technology corrupts the human soul,” as an explanation for something better explained through systemic analysis or cultural critique.
- Comment on I'm not sure they will 3 weeks ago:
The whiplash between apparent anti-fascism and purity politics on this site is wild.
- Comment on It's porn 3 weeks ago:
Right, so, do you think “meeting a racist at their own level” as a white person is justifiable? Can you maybe think about why it would be a problem to presume that you can say bigoted shit about groups you clearly aren’t a part of just because you think people who infamously don’t give a shit about what you say are going to be hurt by it?
If the impact of your actions is that you reproduce the cultural devaluing of elderly, disabled, and queer people, what the fuck are you even mad at this guy about, exactly? This is why we have the saying, “scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds,” because despite the purported difference in politics, there are shared hierarchal, bigoted cultural values between the people who subscribe to each ideology respectively.

How convenient, they get to he bigoted because the bad guys are bigoted, guess that means nobody has to not be bigoted now.
- Comment on It's porn 4 weeks ago:
“It’s just a joke.” Uhuh.
- Comment on It's porn 4 weeks ago:
I get some of you will get pissed off by this, but I’m seriously disappointed that people are still using “haha he gay for Russian man,” and “incontinence is why he’s bad,” as their primary criticisms of an actual fucking fascist pedo rapist. It’s homophobic, it’s ableist, it’s bigoted. I wonder why that’s what they focus on, like, where would they learn to take note of those things specifically?
Guy’s a pedorapist in charge of nukes y’all, stop dunking on your gay grandpas like you’re doing something to him.
- Comment on It's never been about helping people 4 weeks ago:
Right, well, I certainly think my comment is fitting. Original commenter called for violence against unsheltered and disabled people, so I find it kind of strange that my comment would be too far.
It’s certainly a joke, not intended to commit them to commit, but I am genuinely telling this person to consider the gravity of the morality they just advocated for. The problem with the violence they just committed is that it is always just to respond in kind, and I don’t think this person seemd to understand that. If they’re the one that reported, even funnier. I guess I ought to stick to vague calls for genocide rather than meanness.
- Comment on It's never been about helping people 4 weeks ago:
Pretty simple explanation: It isn’t uncivil to be mean to fascists.
- Comment on It's never been about helping people 4 weeks ago:
Literally state policy as represented by the article this dipshit is commenting under.

Cool, kill yourself and go ask whatever god about it to be sure.

Maybe that’s why you don’t sign up for their murder squad.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 4 weeks ago:
Well deserved.
- Comment on Every Landlord I've Had In Australia 4 weeks ago:
Straight up, hiding issues with a rental property should be punishable by barring the landlord from owning any property. Y’know, so long as we’re not abolishing property ownership, seems fair.
- Comment on A reminder 4 weeks ago:
Sure, but many people who aren’t really grappling with where they are in class struggle will still see that and believe it makes intuitive sense because of some aggrieved entitlement. Lemmy is a great platform to find people who know some element of socialist or Marxist politics, but then think the problem is “oligarchs” who are just exceptionally naughty and greedy and not like, a system that produces food and fabrics for insanely cheap and specifically to their benefit.

Same priorities as they’ve ever been.

Yeah, a mom from London Ontario would tell their kid this is cool.
- Comment on Innit 1 month ago:
Guess it depends on your favourite strip mall.
- Comment on Innit 1 month ago:
I wish, there’s always some dickhead whose liable to make you tbone them if you try because they think they’re more important.
- Comment on Innit 1 month ago:
But, correct about London Ontario’s horrible infrastructure and city planning.
- Comment on Innit 1 month ago:
He’s quite gracious, all things considered.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 1 month ago:
I think this is a really good start here. Lemmy is mostly populated by early- to late-middle-aged men in STEM fields, so it makes sense why many of the comments are focused on asserting how much better they are at parenting than actually talking about what the main topic is, which is how do we process this kind of situation. It’s true that the reality of our society means that people who are legally adults are expected and, really, forced to be responsible for themselves whether or not they are prepared even if just by merit that nobody is guaranteed the material security to take care of all their kids after that point. Many of us find a way and find more lessond of use to ourselves for having done so, so it isn’t very reasonable to only focus on these parents, though they do indeed seem like bad parents.
What you and most other people here have missed is the ableism element in this. This is very possibly an autistic person, and our society is extremely hostile even to well-equipped autistic people who have a reliable support network. Everyone here seems agreed that this ought not happen, but many if not most of you have chosen to go the route of finding individualized moral liability rather than identifying how this fits into a system where anyone is in this situation against their will.
Even if the guy was merely parented poorly, or is just a lazy bum, or disabled to the point of needing this kind of care, we should always be thinking about the fact that nobody should be fearing for their life because they don’t know how to get a job or take care of themselves.

lol, I think you misread the original comment and can’t admit it.
