FYI you’re not going an unbiased answer to any political question on ml

Not to mention the rise of vehicle violence, running over protesters and such.

Oops

Not the person you replied to but I also used to be a hardcore Christian conservative.

Honestly just talking to people with different viewpoints than me. Back when Reddit was decent I would troll with conservative BS to get a rise out of commenters, but occasionally people would reply with points I couldn’t refute. Making IRL friends helped a lot too. I realized people actually have nuance in their opinions and there’s a lot more gray area than I realized. Leaving religion was the last step for me. Once my identity was no longer my beliefs I was able to change them.

Its part of what scares me about the internet now, we all get locked in little echo chambers. Nobody’s viewpoints get challanged and there’s no honest debate any more. Defederated social media will only make it worse as there will be 10,000 different Lemmys, each one for an exactly specific set of beliefs that will never be questioned.

Leftist ideology is at its core about people. Even when it is wrong, it’s wrong trying to help people.

The right is just about power. The only mistakes it makes are actions that cost it power.

Not for readability it isn’t

To be fair Worf went from “Klingon” to security chief in like half an episode

I think the mirror universe arc was the best. The idea of going into the far future was good, if poorly executed. I also worry they’ve written themselves into a corner now. It’s going to restrict any media set post TNG but pre Discovery.

I actually met a real person in meatspace who said Star Trek is “woke” now. I thought they were just memes.

Orville is better than anything post DS9

I was SO invested in that mystery. Only to be utterly let down.

Ehhh I appreciate what they’re going for but I hate how they constantly have these long drawn out speeches about their feelings in the middle of battles.

Honestly I understand better now why old people complained about computers so much. We don’t even know what we lost.

Talk of raising wages or organizing collectively, or not agreeing with US imperialist foreign policy gets you labelled a commie / tankie by its witch-hunting, McCarthyite majority

You’re telling me this statement is about Lemmy and not the US in general?

I hope you realize Lemmy does not represent the average American…

Nobody gets labeled a tankie get out of here with your projection lol.

Commie tho, all the time.

This is literally a community for recommencing cheap games to buy…

Then quit complaining and accept your choices

Then sell it
