Until someone links them to a tiktok account that breaks down marxism into 15 sec soundbytes they can understand.

God forbid OP try and make an effort to learn about something… that’s too much bro.

your profile makes me think you are not a human being at all. nothing about you seems real. you write like child.

Are you AI? You write like it.

You have a masters, in what?

The median salary for a MA holder is 95K. More than enough to afford a nice home in most places in the USA outside of HCOL. And a good quality of life.

None of those things will end human life. It will simple be reduced. It has happened before.

Bullshit. That’s just doomer hysteria. Short of an asteroid impact there isn’t going to be some apocalypse.

Climate change is just CHANGE. Things will change. Species will adapt, or die, and new species will emerge.

Sadly, change terrifies people. This is also why they refuse to ‘make things better’ even though we have the means, because that means CHANGE. ooo scary!

Define better. Net worth or something?

My parents had a way worse life than mine was. Maybe yours had a better life than you?

The only people I know who seem to legit feel this way are the rich kids who are mad they won’t be richer than their parents. Like temper tantrum butthurt they won’t own a big house and a giant SUV car their parents drive. But they spend all their money traveling and drinking and eating at expensive restaurants anyway…

When Putin goes it will be another 1990s scramble for power and the Russian people will follow whomever is the biggest thug who makes them feel a sense of pride and stability, which is precisely how Putin came to power.

People forget that before Putin Russia was in economic collapse throughout the 90s. And that all of Russian history the central government been authoritarian and corrupt af

Sounds like you should run for office under those talking points. Good luck.

is freedom bad?

Because they are expensive, stupid, and annoying and most people think they are obnoxious. I’d be embarassed to every fly a drone in public with how noisy and invasive they are, I’d feel like a total asshole.

right, you’re not a the bigot here. not at all.

my cell is mostly just numbers.

no, man is not a label. i use it for women and queer people too.

typical lemmy. ‘if you disagree with me or challenge me you are just a hateful bigot’ straight to the personal attack because you have nothing of substance to say.

No, life is pretty easy for me. I don’t agonize over the labels of things. I mostly ignore them. Just like I ignore lazy relativism arguments that think words have no meaning… but who hypocritically get very defensive about those very same words.

None of those things are arbitrary, but keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel smart i guess? Jesus. Not everyone is so divorced from a physical/objective reality as you are.

I say ‘hey man’.

I don’t really use my name or other people’s names when interacting with them, no. I also don’t really use labels and I avoid socialize with people who are obsessed with them because I mostly find them to be massively self-obsessed jerks who lack respect for others and arrogantly insist they know shit they don’t.

Because I don’t really give a fuck about these weird arbitrary definitions of 150 pride flags that angsty teens on tumblr made up to feel special. anymore than i think anyone’s given name is some sort of ‘identity’ or horoscope of their personality.

anyone can be potentially attracted to anyone in the right circumstances…

Yes, you are ace. So you are making up a false narrative about how other people work, that isn’t true.

Very few people are like that. Most people are not attracted to most people. Most people are not attracted to others solely based on looks either. There is also a difference in recognizing someone’s beauty, and being attracted to them.

And I’m talking real world attraction, not sexual fantasizing.

the people you are in relationships get to decide what is valid to.

but if you never engage in relationships, yeah you can be an attack helicopter. but if you do feel that way, don’t be surprised that nobody else wants to interact with you.

that’s interesting, where is that distinction from?
