In other words, they’re only interested in punishing the ones that get caught, and they’ll only process it well after it’s happened so they can just deliver a slap on the wrist.

By definition, you can only punish the ones that get caught.

I understand that’s what people need to believe.

Did you read the entire sentence “the British occupying forces in Berlin”

British. In Berlin.

Who do you think had lots of curry powder?

Actually, I’m going to add something to my last reply.

“not wanting to be drowning in ads” is in no way shape or form a political decision.

If you mean “because adverts are capitalism” then you’re part of the deeply naive problem.

It’s perfectly plausible - because it literally has happened - for people to construct a platform under our system (which is also hybrid anywat) that allows for social media to exist without adverts.

You’re literally the kind of person when I mean when I talk about trying too shoe-horn politics into things when it doesn’t belong.

I see you can’t understand the difference between zealotry and normal discussion.

“I don’t want ro drowning in ads” doesn’t have to mean “but trump is Hitler evil Jews did this blah blah everyone who isn’t of my opinion is a murderer”

The British do too. Like we have to top five healthiest teeth in the world.

Americans need to stop confusing their memes foe actual knowledge and experience of the world.

Like, we bought and sold spice… For money.

People obviously wanted spice and paid for it.

That’s how trade and industry work. We didn’t just bring back exotic rocks.

British invention anyway. Curry powder from the British occupying forces in Berlin.

Gern gesehen.

That’s the main thing I hate about Lemmyverse is that the zealots and puritans came over too.

They always think you mean someone else when you say “please stop constantly trying to shoehorn your politics into everything”

Russians have become masters of knowing how to lie in such a way as their answer tells the real truth.

You plow his British people can be very polite and they mean “fuck you”. A bit like that.

Not all Art has the same value.

You think someone who delicates their life to musical excellence should get the same as someone who sticks seashells onto things?

What t about if they only produce one seashell covered mug per week? Per month?

If only there was some mechanism to objectively measure the value of what we produce.

Well that’s the the point. They don’t want to take Palestinian refugees because they’ve attacked Egypt and caused various problems.

The point they are making is “we don’t want them, and neither do you, so don’t try and take the moral of high ground”

Israel has tried to give Gaza ti Egypt. They won’t take it.

This is all utter nonsense though.

The reality is for some reason people they are considered “white” and some people are considered “black”.

It’s because of the colour of their skin if you skin didn’t notice.

Why are people like you just falling over yourselves to invent more facile nonsense?

This meme highlights the real difference between the gay rights movement of the past, and the modern “lgbqt alphabet” movement of now.

Gay people just wanted to be given the same rights as everyone else, and told is that they didn’t have much choice in the matter.

With the current movement, they want everyone to change their behaviour and the way they think about things.

You’ll often see criticisms of the modern gender movement labelled as “homophobia” but they aren’t.

They are two different movements and should separated.

I moved to Germany from the UK, and Americans here are almost always lecturing everyone on their bullshit politics, and cod psychology nonsense.

I wish they’d fucking shut the fuck up.

It will be like that, plus political posts.

Because people are addicted to spreading their political opinions like evangelists of old.

And they never think you mean them when you ask them to stop, becuse then other team is evil, and inserting their political opinions in to everything is their personality now. It’s tut only way they can get them likes.

Social media changed society and sadly, I don’t think escaping to the Fediverse can out run the political borest.

Material Conditions lead them to that drug abuse

This is how I know you have exactly zero life experience, and clearly never given the topic more than a moments thought.

You call me dumb - but are you seriously saying that the only reason people become substance abusers is because of poverty?

Think about that for just thirty seconds.

What a stupid snivelling American sophomoric bullshit opinion.

The bottom problem is drug addiction, not capitalism.

The top photo isn’t about what it’s like to fucking look at , it’s about what it’s like to live in.

And I can tell you that there is plenty of crime there.

It bothers me when they just do it in every sub. Star Wars memes? Star Trek memes?

There’s no fucking escape.

The annoying thing is these people never see themselves as the insufferable bores always taking about local politics.

It’s always really important.

It’s always that you’re a nazi if you don’t agree.

It’s just modern born-again Christians, who aren’t knocking on your door, they’re posting in your social Media.
