I’m neither American, European, Russian, nor Chinese, and have no clear vested interest in any if them. Seeing how Americans view China as the “big evil” from the outside is just mind-boggling. Most of the bad stuff you think China did, they didn’t. Some of the terrible stuff they did, the US did as well. They do have a bad side that the US doesn’t have, but the US does some things worse than China.

Now its easy for the naive to just reply “whataboutism” to my comment and move on. But what I’m trying to say is that the world isn’t black and white. The US isn’t the “good guys”, no one is. Take a look at some communities on Lemmygrad. You might change some of your views.

Alright, so you don’t acknowledge the problem, still fits the definition.

I’d hate for our discussion to be about semantics, but I’m saying that we don’t believe in the problem. If I’d say “Hey, regarding the vampire situation, you have your head in the sand, because you won’t acknowledge the problem”, it wouldn’t be an accurate statement, or correct usage of the phrase.

unwilling to recognize or acknowledge a problem or situation

I’m saying that we are not unwilling to recognize a problem, the problem itself is greatly exaggerated, or even non-existent.

Yeah I agree. I’m mostly talking about what you’ll find on Twitter and big subreddits.

I’m almost the same as OP, but I wouldn’t call it “head in the sand”. For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you’ll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc…

Stop following the news, and you won’t notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.

When you reach the point of dehumanizing an entire population, you should stop and think about the amount of shit the media has filled your head with.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Be active on !godot@lemmy.ml, and more people will hopefully come.

Thanks for sharing! My favoriate app so far.

Lemmur is dead. It got resurrected as Liftoff.

I’ve tried Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, Liftoff, Lemmotif, and the PWA. Jerboa has the best interface/ux imo, by far. Thunder is the least buggy to use, and the developer is a machine, doing constant updates. These 2 I think have the most potential.

You mean to tell me that apps made by community volunteers as a labor of love in a couple of weeks are better than the app made by a for-profit company and has been developed for years? Funny how that works.

Even if a post is a couple of days old, I feel like I can still comment and be part of the conversation here. On Reddit, if you miss the first few hours, your comment will probably be unseen, so why bother?
