I understand if the mods remove the post, but also appreciate other people understanding why I did post it here.

E: though as of now at least one of my replies laughing at this clown has been removed by the mod. Not the mod my post is about mind, but a power tripping buddy I guess (probably for "being a dick" while undoubtedly claiming all Europeans are just jealous of Americans magically doesn't come under that category). So maybe it actually qualifies for this community now? lmao

It's not the posting that's the issue, it's what comes once you have lol

I think I've already overextended my available energy with what this post might stir up, I might just leave it now 😂

Yeah, that was my bad, and thanks, but I'm not necessarily looking for a specifically European instance, looking at dbzer0 at the moment, though still need to look in to how much of my current account I can migrate with me, and how.

This was my thinking too.

E: also the fact that I can't block them is not ok.

Lol, I honestly just saw the French language in the side bar and assumed, it's generally not something I care about, so that's my bad for sure, but either way, the fact that they admin a non-American instance is still a cherry on top of this shit pie.

No, stop, I can't fucking breath.. 🤣🤣🤣

I find it a little frustrating that you think any of this started with, because of, or will end with cheeto.

This:

a fractured nation, a failing education system, crumbling infrastructure, and a healthcare system that leaves millions behind

has always been the case, and it is a feature, not a bug. Always has been.

And it will never change as long as you continue to focus on the things the system tells you to focus on (like team red vs team blue, or the clown at the front of the stage) rather than on the system itself (a state mechanism built on slavery and genocide from day dot, and designed and enforced by and for the rich and powerful, who are the ones actually pulling the strings) and abolishing that.

And before OP gets their underwear in a twist - all states are oppressive and should be abolished, but a country founded on and with the biggest hard on for capitalism on the planet, and who has the power to, and has been since its founding, loudly and aggressively dragging the rest of the world on a race to the bottom (if not directly with war mongering and political interfering, then with profiteering off of their enemies war mongering and politically interfering), deserves all the criticism it gets, and the fact that it's easier for you to create a straw person to dismiss the perfectly valid and long overdue criticism, than it is to hear them and sit with the mild discomfort it causes you to hear the truth and confront reality, is a you problem, not a lemmy problem.

Mandatory inbred cat

I was about to say..

This may be a good awareness spreading tool, but actually being chronically ill, this game gets a big fat "no thanks" from me lol

Lol, I got my vegan card revoked (declared "a carnist") and handed my first fedi ban by the "Real Vegans™" too, for daring to call out their bullshit and ableist militant gatekeeping.

Good luck to them and the toxic cesspit they're so adamant on maintaining, the last thing anyone should be seeking is these people's approval, especially not on being a "good" or "real" vegan, since they make it crystal clear that their top priority is and always will be their own egos. ¯(ツ)_/¯

I have to tell you, that Action Park shit is still sitting with me.. 😂

Seriously though, thanks for managing that community, it's a good 'un. I've woken up many a morning to a wiki page you led me to lol

E: also, it's 3:45am now, am feeling a little called out by op (though I had actually gone to sleep at 10pm too, it's just that I've woken up since 😭)

Your brother is on a (specifically designed and heavily funded) pipeline to being a total piece of shit (not just with misogyny, but racism, and probably queerphobia and ableism too), do what you can to get him off it. A quick search brings up what looks to be some good info to start you off:

Manosphere

Misogynistic influencers are trending right now. Defusing their message is a complex task

De-radicalising incels out of the ‘manosphere’ through Reddit

Making a Radical Misogynist: How Online Social Engagement with the Manosphere Influences Traits of Radicalization

Swallowing and spitting out the red pill: young men, vulnerability, and radicalization pathways in the manosphere

Exiting the Manosphere

There are also many youtube videos on the subject, though I haven't watched any recently, so I won't link, but look up something along the lines of "manosphere right wing pipeline" and you should see some results.

If you’re really asking what it means, an Alpha is a

pseudo scientific myth that has been twisted and then adopted almost exclusively by toxic men to try and boost their own ego and justify their shit behaviour

FTFY

And you're telling everyone here that you are an ableist.. ¯(ツ)_/¯

It obviously hit home with the bored loser, since they picked it for one of their latest account names lmmfao

(seriously though, the mods of this community need to get a grip on this spam)

So the queerphobia is gross in its own right, but the more quiet part is that ableism and abusing and discriminating against mentally ill people is a-ok too (and while sexual orientation and gender identity clearly aren't mental illnesses, there is also nothing wrong with being mentally ill, but unfortunately the readiness of some to distance themselves from and throw mentally ill people under the bus to save themselves will very quickly become apparent, and everyone needs to consciously be avoiding that trap).

Yup, same here.

Yes, but also "laziness" isn't actually a thing that exists:
