Say it louder with me for the people in the back.

Piracy is not stealing.

hightrix, to asklemmy in Why do most people not post?
  1. People on the internet suck. No matter what, there will be someone that is upset with your words for some reason. This opens you up to harassment.
  2. I just don’t want to.
  3. I hesitated replying to this post because you are responding by redundantly @ing the user you are replying to. That is a mega pet peeve of mine and I hate it.

Have a nice day!

hightrix, (edited ) to asklemmy in Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?

This comment and my other in the thread are gonna get a ton of downvotes, so I’m just going to own it.

Also, this is entirely from my experience with republicans in real life. I am not one, but many of my family and friends are.

First, most are not anti-LGBT at all. Most that I know are against these laws that are being out into place. But these issues are not very important to them so they don’t have strong convictions that would dissuade them from voting based on this issue. They will not engage if you call them anti-LGBT because they are not.

Second, contempt for atheist. This is a perspective that comes from the online and media representation of republicans. I’ve never heard a single discussion about atheists with republicans. This is not an issue, period. They will not engage in discussion around an issue they do not see as an issue.

Third, Christian nationalism is, again, not relevant to these people. They do not see it as real nor do they see it as a real problem. They may engage with this discussion. So I don’t see a need to reword this one.

Lastly, abortion rights. This isn’t how republicans frame the issue. They view it as a human right and ending a human life early. I don’t agree, but they will not engage with someone asking why they are against “abortion rights”.

Again, let me repeat, I voted straight dem ticket last election. I am only giving my perspective based on interactions with real life republicans.

The Expanse is one of the best sci-fi shows of all time. I highly recommend it.

I don’t fit this description, but I know many that do.

You will not get a real answer to this question due to how biased it is being asked.

Good luck on your search for knowledge.

hightrix, to asklemmy in How do you think social media platforms should work?

Chronological. Completely uncensored. Allow easy blocking of others, including blocking posts/comments from your personal feed using categories or keyword recognition.

Done.

Correct. I wouldn’t steal a car. But I would absolutely make a perfect copy of a car for free.

hightrix, to asklemmy in What is best left unfinished?

Genocide

They honestly seem like any other voter. For me, I don’t agree with every position the dem party takes. They are the same, they simply agree with republicans more the democrats.

At least that’s my take.

Yea. I see a clickbait thumbnail like this and just scroll on.

hightrix, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Don’t be silly, neither does the local church.

hightrix, to asklemmy in Why do most people not post?

Well today I learned something.

Thank you!
