You can work on both at the same time, but you can’t abandon gas from one to the other second

There is no way in which the US will be embargod. Even under trump european nations will try to keep a mostly beneficial relation with the US due to the economic reliability and US strength in global politics. Sorry bud!

I think its mostly that the other side is just so much More radical. I still refuse to believe half the americans would vote for Trump again after all that has happened

Ah I see. Good thing someone continued it tho!

What happened to Kbin btw? I used to be on there since the start but the page has been broken since a while for me

Let me give you one example: Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia. He gave the company away to a non-profit 2022 making him no longer a billionaire. Patagonia gives 1% of its total sales to environmental groups and he started the company himself by selling hand-forged mountain climbing gear. Just because people don’t make the negative headlines doesn’t mean generalizing is a good idea, even if such high positions are more likely to have people with sociopathic tendencies as ruthlessness in business is often rewarded.

There is no defending this but let’s not pretend they are some homogeneous group!

But this is the US… and its kind of a double standard if you’re not arrested for drawing but for generating it.

That’s actually a cool thing. Never knew this existed. My comment was definitely a bit salty looking back. It’s just I didn’t find any humor in the post and found this type of post to appear often. Good to know tho, I’ll look into it since I’m curious what other type of comments they ban. Still bigotry is a weird claim, since they can’t seem to tolerate my opinion. Although that brings up the whole tolerating intolerance topic. I don’t think I was being intolerant personally. I just didn’t find the satire in the meme.

Then also every artist creating loli porn would have to be jailed for child pornography.

I agree with you and think if an instance communicates clearly what they are and what they want then I have no problem.

BTW how do you no the reason why I’m supposedly banned when I don’t even know that.

I mean I feel like many or even most memes there are fine, just those few in between are annoying to me. I’m over it but I was still kinda annoyed initially

Its just that ml mentions itself being a general lemmy instance. Their description on join-lemmy.org is “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers”. I’m a FOSS and privacy enthusiast who likes Lemmy. I just happen to not like communism agenda pushed when I scroll through some memes. I definitely wouldn’t say I’m some uncivil person. Sucks for me that ml is the second largest instance and they have the biggest memes community.

You have me agreeing with you on that one!

Wait I checked and now im just banned from [email protected] but not from lemmy.ml as a whole. My comment wasn’t low effort tho. I was just mentioning how I dislike communist violent revolution fantasy getting posted over and over as “memes” when they aren’t ironic or satirical.

I share your opinion. I don’t think its worth continuing to debate that guy as you’ll never come to a conclusion. It doesn’t really matter what one thinks of the civilian tragedy in Gaza when it comes to whether or not Israel is fighting Hezbollah defensively. In support of Hamas they started sending more bombs in the northern border of Israel so the IDF followed suite to prevent Hezbollah.

Honestly I’d agree with you if it wasn’t for the fact that sadly lemmy is still really small in terms of content and I like interacting with people. Since ml is like the second biggest community its mildly annoying but I guess you gotta pick your poison. Probably better just focusing on content from the other instances thats a bit less toxic tho.

I wish you’d differentiate between instance and community. I didn’t just get banned from that specific community but from the whole instance permanently without explanation. I mean I guess I don’t mind that much in retrospect but it did mildly annoy me since I like commenting and lemmy doesn’t have that much content to begin with compared to the likes of reddit.

Yeah I feel that… I like discussing novel ideas how things can be done different. I once had a longer discussion with one of the aforementioned users but I knew there was no point once they started denying mass starvation in the soviet union and the human rights infringements. I wish it could be different but I guess you gotta pick your poison whether or not to see these communities. Also I don’t get them claiming china being supposedly communist when its really not but oh well…
