I mean, I don’t have the energy to discuss specifics, but I think at a very base level we agree here that people should contribute to society as much as they can and get what they need and that nobody should just get passive income.

We must ensure nobody gets absolute power, because power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

You keep wealth distributed evenly among a population and have their needs met and these things don’t happen.

I mean, blackmail is a pretty good reason, but also to money launder effectively you need to track the actual money, idk thats the best i can come up with

God thats sad, I’m sorry

These people are adults? Jfc.

Oh that’s just the Oldest House

You got me there

The weird dick to fascist pipeline is REAL

You missed a golden opportunity to say “shit-berg” just thought you should know

There are far more moderate views on here that keep it from being an echo chamber that we don’t need to include nazis

I think its reasonable for me and those i care about to not want to be pressured to debate the morality of our existence in every space, and that is exactly what they want to debate, and for them it’s fun because it does not affect them, but for us it just means another fuckin place that is not safe. It’s not easy to ignore them, and they make sure of that, and tolerating them just enables them to take over spaces.

There are enough liberals (read: centrists) in here that this is a controversial discussion, thats reason enough for me to believe defederating won’t cause this to be an echo chamber.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This was starting to sound like the next rendition of “we didn’t start the fire”

I wasn’t gonna comment but for sake of diversity I feel you deserve at least one good one. I’m actually quite close with one of my exes from 13 years ago. We dated when I was graduating highschool he broke up with me (very respectfully. He basically just told me I deserved someone who liked me as much as I like them, and he was right).

Anyway, he and I didn’t really hang out much or talk much for a while but we were in the same community and would see each other at metal shows all the time and weren’t unfriendly but would just kind of live our own lives. Once my ego healed a bit from being dumped we did hook up a couple times. Then some time passed and I met my partner of now over a decade. Anyway, me and the ex still chat, he’s met my partner and they get along very well. My ex is a genuinely kind and funny guy and I would be a reference for him any day and I consider him more my friend than my ex at this point.

I really do think time apart is important because they need to become not a constant fixture in your life before you can repair the relationship to “friend” level.

But my issue is how does one debate someone who doesn’t care about truth or debate regulation or debating in good faith at all? All they do is bowl over people and that just makes them more confidently wrong.

I know you’re not arguing that we should remain federated with them, im just curious why you enjoy debating them because I get so frustrated and I’d much rather not raise my blood pressure unnecessarily so I just don’t get it lol. It feels like a losing game.

Completely agreed. Also history would dictate that giving literal nazis a space/platform with which they can influence people is a bad fuckin idea. We don’t owe them tolerance and they should be censored because they are a cult and don’t intend on good faith discussion.

Call me radical, I’ll say hang loose 🤙

I’ve literally never gone on that instance and have blocked it for obvious reasons, but I’m curious where you got this information from. Like how do you know this, or is it speculation? Or is this a joke that went over my head?
