Can relate tbh. Like, I’m not going to turn the pages for you, all ya gotta do is ask and do it.
But fr, I’ll talk about anything that isn’t small talk. But I really don’t like carrying a conversation that A: doesn’t interest me, and B: has no ultimate goal (see: smalltalk).
Critiquing someone for liking musik that was made by Billionares is kind of stupid. Most Pop and other musik is produced and distributed by big companies that are owned by Billionares.
Why post if it coukd get deleted by some faceless bureaucratic nerds who think people should and do read “the rules” before posting. What I’ve been doing lately is to write the comment to get it out of my sysyem, and then press the back button.
Not lemmy’s fault, this is just what going to reddit does.
the disparity between posters and subscribers is larger than expected.
in the community i moderate, there are just 2 consistent posters (including myself) and about 3000 subs, of which a good 150 seem to be active in total. that’s 0.05 of the aggregate subscribers.
Ugh seriously it’s so often these dipshits who think their race makes them special. Like I get that they probably are reaching deep into the barrel to find anything that makes them special it’s not like they can fall back on their personalities, intelligence, appearance, or achievement. So they’ve got to brag about not having much melanin when for other folks it’s just a physical feature we have that’s unfortunately got several centuries of baggage to it.

This one detail is responsible for the kernel of sadness I feel for many on the far right. These are despicable people who were once kids who just wanted to be grownups and do grownup things. And whether due to genetics or due to upbringing, anything else that might have given them a sense of pride and competence is not something they have. As you say - all they have left is trying to push others down, hoping this lands them on top. Damn it’s truly sad.
Exactly. Like I’m not going to pretend that racism isn’t a problem at all levels of society. But at a certain level of doing shit with my life worthy of pride people building their life around racism went from wrong and stupid to also being pathetic. Either your skin color is all you have going for you which is fucking pathetic or you’ve achieved something with your life and you still manage to think that your whiteness is one of your most important features which says something is seriously wrong with you. There’s no pride or specialness in being the cultural default.
Like my family immigrated to America recently enough that where we’re from is slightly relevant to my life experiences, and so it has some value to me. But how could I be such a delusional jackass that I can’t see that in others. If grandpa was an immigrant well then I oughta welcome folks here like he wished he’d been welcomed. I appreciated getting to celebrate grandpa’s culture, so maybe other people would like to too and maybe I’ll enjoy celebrating other people’s culture. If America is better for folks like my family being in it then who am I to say other families can’t make it better too.
Nail on the head. Racism now stems from people feeling like they’re no one, but they have an excuse to feel better than this person for an arbitrary reason so they take it.
There’s a reason most of the racists are poor uneducated white people
The thing is - I feel bad for them for feeling like they are no one, for feeling like this is all they have. I can pretty easily get myself into a mindset where I want to give some of these folks a hug, and tell them they matter. I think many of us have felt worthless at times, either due to circumstances, due to depression, whatever.
But then I see what their voting habits are doing to this country and to our governing bodies, and that gets buried under piles of anger.
To be fair this is not the first infamous fascist with a bad hairdo, but this one certainly raised the bar. It looks like a bowl cut, but with different size bowls used…
