Quick, let’s list all idiotic euphemisms due to social media. We already have

• unalive

Who the fuck uses glazing that way? That’s not an image we needed in our minds.

What is the first thing you said to me? You do not know what you are saying, but it feels right to you well that is because you are accusing people of things you are guilty of. You’re basic and transparent, try logic.

Buddy, you need to look up ad hominem fallacy because there’s nothing to debate there. You’re just making a fool of yourself.

So you are trying to ague they went to another country

England is another country from England?

active government building

Filming permits?

how detail oriented film makers are

Do you need explained that different people aren’t the same person?

the connection between the characters and their location

A pre-existing building whose floor they used unmodified. Did they search every building in existence until they found one with a star on the floor? Implausible. Unless you have credible evidence, your claim is unsubstantiated speculation that you only accept due to motivated reasoning & confirmation bias.

Furthermore, no link or references to shit to substantiate anything you wrote: ipse dixit fallacy. You were rightly criticized for lacking a valid argument and this is no different. Respect logic & argue better.

Non-evidence-based medical guidelines caused the spike as explained here.

And that’s no coincidence as explained here.

This is unsurprising to anyone aware how the peanut allergies blew up. Medical guidelines organizations issued a pediatric guideline contrary to known science that wasn’t evidence-based, then later course-corrected^[1]: they fixed their fuck up. It’s pretty well known by the evidence-based medicine community.

So, this isn’t some miraculous achievement: it’s the correction of a self-inflicted setback.

It’s surprising those organizations haven’t been sued into oblivion over this.

fuckwit. You are either incredibly stupid

Again with the ad hominem fallacy: try logic.

I don’t expect you to acknowledge when you are wrong.

No, that’s definitely you. Your video has nothing to do with your particular claim that the star on the floor is a Star of David: digression fallacy.

We aren’t talking about antisemitism, we’re talking about your insistence on that claim despite failure to substantiate it, disclosure that the design belongs to an actual building unrelated to Judaism, the implausibility that its appearance in the film is due to an author who didn’t direct the film & whose book likely didn’t specify that detail. It’s classic motivated reasoning & confirmation bias drawing hasty conclusions lacking adequate support.

We aren’t disputing your other claims. We’re disputing this one & criticizing your poor reasoning & lack of integrity to admit it’s unsupported. Like the typical discourse at lemmy.

Dumbass

Abusive ad hominem fallacy.

look around you

Did you? All you have are unsubstantiated claims, inability to substantiate them, and lack of integrity to admit you can’t. Typical for people on here.

you people

Yep, the terminally misinformed (like you) are people. Too many of those on here.

The more I read about state capitalism, the vaguer it seems.

an economic system where the government plays a central role by managing key industries and manipulating market outcomes

is the most coherent definition I can find. Examples

• the centrally planned, command economy of the USSR with wage labor
• the liberalized market economy of the PRC with some large state industries, a strong private sector, foreign investment, market-based trade
• the Norwegian economy with state ownership of the oil industry & some companies and ownership stake in large, publicly traded companies
• United States with its publicly funded bailouts & recent state ownership stake in some publicly traded companies.

Some economists argued it’s merely state socialism & planned economy relabeled.

Whatever it is, communist states like USSR & China have long claimed they’re transitional.

Communism is by definition a stateless, classless society.

No, that’s a communist society, a purely unsubstantiated, speculative, moneyless, post-scarcity utopia that has never once been realized & probably never will. Belongs in the realm of mythology.

Communism is the ideology whose goal is the creation of a communist society. Much like Christianity with the 2nd coming of Christ, adherents insist it’ll happen someday inevitably. No possible way their great prophet Marx was wrong.

A communist state (also known as a Marxist–Leninist state) is a government consisting of a socialist state following Marxist–Leninist political philosophy with a dictatorial ruling class that promises to achieve a communist society. Unfortunately, while belief systems like Judaism had the sense to warn adherents against trying to force their dream utopia prematurely, Marx lacked such sense to urge the crazies against it.

Regardless, the overzealous failures here are some strain of communist: they follow the ideology.

They’re rarely here because they get quickly defederated.

I think it has more to do with their not wanting to be here & online communities voluntarily segregating themselves into their respective ideologies^[1].

Defederation is not an effective control against the individuals you want to contain. As we can see with tankies, their annoying conduct rarely rises to the level to result in bans from the unblocked instances they join.

As for spreading their poison, I don’t think people are mindless automatons who must become awful when exposed to offensive rhetoric all day. If mere exposure is all it takes, then they probably lacked decent principles. Sheltering a fragile position that disintegrates at the slightest challenge due to ignorance is a weak strategy that doesn’t build a firm, reliable foundation.

A better solution is to develop a sturdier position on principles everyone is keenly familiar with to effectively defend. They acquire that familiarity through observed & practiced success to defeat challenges. The best answer to speech we dislike is better speech that condemns & challenges it. People need robust principles to do that & acquire them by doing so.

I want Lemmy to do a better job than reddit at keeping fascists from being free to spread their poison.

What fascists? They’re rarely here.

Tankies, too? They’re already here.

• Enforcement of accessibility.
• No reddit-style moderation: the moderators at reddit are unaccountable tyrants.
• Minimal moderation preferably little more than legal compliance & accessibility/usability standards.
• Rejection of loaded reddit moderation concepts such as
  • brigading
  • sealioning
  • calling anything annoying harassment
• Freedom to openly criticize moderators.

Honesty is never wrong. I think the best approach is to assure a bitch you love them, explain you know they meant well but this gift is not for you, and to suggest returning the gift in exchange for sharing an experience you’ll legitimately enjoy together.

Each subreddit is a HOA run by toxic, power mongering dickheads. They really need a system to rate communities, moderators, and publicly air grievances or to just burn that shithole to the ground.

Maybe annoyance. It depends on culture & whether nonthreatening passionate expression & yelling is normal. Latinos think gringos are weird for acting alarmed over a bit of argument & yelling.

I’m surprised anyone read this & thought it was anything more than frivolous banter between siblings.

Maybe instead of listening to mom, listen to an ENT or hearing professional. Better yet, look up scientific resources.
