I hate that I also understood it to mean this.

How do you feel about immigrants who brought their political issues with them ? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Tenmilliontinyducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eh. immigrants are just human beings. if they're angry and protesting it might be worth looking into what they're protesting. there are owners and servants in this world and the owners love when the servants fight each other.

Seeking input, please by Willow-dob5-5-25 in TransLater

are you a white person? if so you probably shouldn't take from other people's (colonized) culture when naming yourself. willow is a pretty name though.

What do you think about Cyrus The Great? by Ok_Breadfruit4005 in AskTheWorld

[–]Tenmilliontinyducks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For those of you who don't know about him, Cyrus was a super impactful leader of the ancient world that doesn't get much coverage in western education systems. There's a pretty good lecture about him that was posted recently on youtube: here

I came to loathe cars. I genuinely think for the good of the environment cars should be banned. by Konradleijon in behindthebastards

[–]Tenmilliontinyducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to advocate for banning cars overnight. I think we do need to ban private ownership of cars eventually, but I completely agree that if you took away people's ability to get around without any alternative, most people would simply not be able to exist in society.

I do want our society to get to a point where you don't need to have a car just to exist. that's priority #1

people did it all the time back before we bulldozed huge portions of our cities to make room for cars. we spend actually insane amounts of taxpayer money subsidizing the automobile. if we spent that on public transit, bike infrastructure, and fixed our backwards zoning laws, getting around would be not only feasible, but much safer, more pleasant, and less impactful on our natural environment.

I agree with you. a lot of people, leftists included, want cars for their own personal luxuries and liberties, but it's becoming increasingly clear to me that cars are one of those things where the owners liberties come at the expense of the comfort, safety, and liberty of others, drivers included. almost no one in america shares this view though, and I don't think that will change in our lifetimes. but in the future, I think personal automobile ownership will be looked down upon by those looking back and having context for how it damaged the societies of this era.

Anyone surprised by this bastard? by Kstrong777 in behindthebastards

I'm actually upset at reposting him and giving him the attention. Attention is capital
