      This is anywhere, period. You can do that with letters, you can do that with speeches, or in casual conversations.

      And you’re not always wrong about it either.

      If you’ve played Disco Elysium, “Welcome to Revachol”. If you haven’t, play it. It’s an amazing game

    Me: “I like pancakes”

    Lemmy: “Only a shitlib western imperialist would think that. Read more Lenin.”

    -“Russia should not invade a sovereign country, murder its citizens and deport their children.”

    -“Umm, actually, the US were doing crimes in Syria and you should not support them.”

      But by contrast

      “We need to negotiate an end to the war on Ukraine.”

      “Oh so you want to let Russia kill all Ukrainians?”

        And then some people comment:

        “Yes, we should allow Russia to cleanse the Ukraine. I’m being nuanced, I swear!”

          We’re allowing endless war right now, which means fighting to the last Ukrainian. All the aid we give them is meant to keep the war going as long as possible, not to help Ukraine actually win.

      i can’t speak to the frequency but the tone is definitely different when it happens here compared to on reddit, probably influenced by the demographic and field of interest differences. the ml roots of the place really have echoed throughout the tone of the space, so most of the arguments have a really cynical, high alert, almost superstitious affect to them that i never really encountered on reddit. (some random account i thought i was cool with is trying to like psychoanalyze my recent posts to find my true intentions? i gave up on that convo)

      your mileage may vary, of course!

    What…. This is on par with any kind of internet discourse. It’s pretty much why I hardly ever post prior to Lemmy. It doesn’t matter how well articulated the post, SOMEONE will find the need to correct or clarify unnecessarily.

      it’s really sad because i take great pride and pleasure from reading other people’s thoughts and posts. but when i try to give back, it’s immediately jumped on by dogpilers and “oh you actually meant something else…” people. and when i do the bare minimum to defend myself, they slap back with the “okay buddy, sure” and downvote my defense so it’s invisible to other readers.

      needless to say my blocklist is nearing 100 users.

    One time I said AI porn was unethical (because it is) and people here thought I was calling for a ban on all porn. At no point did I say that porn was unethical as a rule, and if I did believe that I wouldn’t have mentioned AI at all.
