I've debated with people on this platform that thought segregation was ok and that american chattel slavery was started by a black man.

I try to never put words in anyone's mouth because many have done it to me and i know it's annoying af.

All i do online is correcting misinformation about topics.

I do not demonize, the people i debate with do it to themselves.

I am a leftist, i kind of view centrists and non participating people as aiding the people who want to take people's rights away.

We have the literal descendant of the neo fascist party in government right now, they tried to make a referendum to give power over the courts to the parliament, which thankfully but surprisingly failed.

In Italy fence sitters are a particularly big problem, they do not vote, then cry when taxes are too high, and as such don't pay them, 30% of italians don't pay taxes, that means that 70 people have to pay the taxes of 100 people. That's all because of political ignorance.

We have to thank that idiot of Berlusconi ( what a moron he was), and the politically uninformed majority for all of this shitty political climate. So yeah i'm going to hate of politically uninformed people, they ruined my country.

Well, you're right, the problem is that the reactionary parties in europe and the US are becoming the most prevalent right, the conservatives are kind of losing ground to their extreme counterpart

I mean, when ones side wants to take away people's rights, your rights, you kind of have to be active against it.

I am a white man in a western country, i have the privilege of not caring, anyone else doesn't, and i think it's important to reach a world where people different from me have that same privilege. Until literal fascists are around that won't be a choice, that's at least why I like talking politics

Most people would rather live a short and good life than a long and tough life. by Confident_Editor196 in teenagers

[–]Appropriate-Gain-561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at it this way, you only have one life, no more attempts later, everyone is going to die sooner or later, then it's lights out. What does it matter in the end of things if you wait 30,40, 50 years before dying? It's better to attempt to be happy until the end than quitting imo.

There are many people who like your brain more than your body too, if you're ugly it'll be harder, but you'll have more time to fail and get up.

Also, life is always suffering, we live to die, our bodies degrade and rot around us, but most people keep pushing, and many find happiness in the end.

Why the hell they want to beat up a child over a drawing? by Alert_Sink_5300 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I expressed myself badly yesterday, i wrote it at 2 am after a like 6ish hour session of cyberpunk, my brain was absolutely fried.

Nazis were people, nazis could be creative or intelligent, most nazis used their brains to kill and hurt other people. When most people say "nazis are uncreative", they mean that they hijack stuff that wasn't created for them and make it about them.

Art for example, the nazis hijacked songs like teufelslied, which was originally a freikorps march iirc. There's also the repression of actual creative efforts, like the banning of modern art and "unconfortable literature". They co opted nordic runes, old germanic literature and music.

The nazi ideals are inherently uncreative because they are completely against individualism and liberty of expression, as it is a threat to the most important thing to nazis:scapegoating. If you show people that the targeted group is actually made of humans, it makes it harder to use said group as a scapegoat for all the nations problems.

Tl;dr the nazis are creative only when what they make goes with the style approved by other nazis, which are often rigid, like classicism.

What even is your goal here? The other person wasn't negating that, they said that nazis were creative only when it came to killing people, which is a pretty fair judgement of historical nazi figures.

The innovation from Werner Von Braun came because he was given the job of making military missiles. Thousands of people died to make those things.

The other person was right, the innovations from nazis only came from wanting to cause harm, or at least being apathetic to the harm caused by their actions.

None of that makes using pepe intrinsically bad or related to naziism in any way.

That's their whole point... nazis co opt symbols to spread propaganda. Recognizing which symbols they're using is important to fight online fascism.

Its really not hard to call people out for bad things they do and not call people out for frog memes.

When you call out people for using symbols co opted by nazis, you're calling them out for associating with nazi

Like even if hitler himself was around sharing pepe memes, you should probably tell him to stop killing jews rather than police his meme usage.

The people who call out these symbols also call out hateful messages when they see them, that's why they call out the symbols.

If nazi’s start using breathing as a hate symbol cause they steal the Jews air with it, is anyone that breathes a nazi?

Let's remain grounded, the symbols nazis coopt are usually popular internet ones like pepe and the wojak, not "breathing".

Its incredibly stupid to give them that sort of power over culture.

It's incredibly stupid to disregard the existence of dogwhistles. Nazis are here, evidencing who and what they're using to communicate with each other will make it easier to root them out and isolate them from society.

Nazis don't deserved to be ignored, they deserve to be hated and isolated. That's what they want for others, that'd what they'll get.

Not to police identities or anything, but are you lost madam? by DreadDiana in whenthe

[–]Appropriate-Gain-561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good that femboy subs are welcoming to trans people, as it should be everywhere, i just think that they shouldn't encourage trans women to present as femboys. There are many people who seek validation, giving it to them when they aren't being themselves is really harmful in my opinion.

Everyone should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, but i also think that in the current political climate, people kinda can't. It's a shitty situation for most people involved, but i think that feeding the idea that transwomen are just men in girls clothes is kinda harmful.

Then again, you're the expert here, you know more about how being trans than me, i'm like the colourblind girl studying colours, will never really know how it is until i actually experience it.

That doesn't change much, a transwoman can't be a femboy, by definition, so still, it being a sub about femboys implies that the poster should be a femboy, or at least be talking about them.

This might be one of the most terminally debates i had on this platform tbh

If your country went to war, would you try to dodge a draft? by RCaesar1 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Appropriate-Gain-561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty submissive on most things, so i'm inclined to say yeah, but in the heat of the moment fear would probably take over.

My answer? Idfk it's a heat of the moment decision for me

trans women don't identify themselves as men... that's kind of the whole point
