It was meant as a sincere question with a cynical undertone. Dumping “unwanteds” is obviously horrible, but I understood part of the definition of concentration camp to be a place where people of disrepute with the authoritarians in power are interred for various hideous purposes. Not a place where people are deported to, and are then free to leave (except in the direction they were just brought from).

I mean, technically, they aren’t concentration camps because as far as I understand those are just places to dump the caught and deported unwanted people. They aren’t being kept there forcefully, no?

Basically the first concerted spam/phishing attempt hitting lemmy, so this most certainly non existent lady is now a meme.

Certainly true, but then it is more an issue of what opinions they are fed than them not being a direct part of the conversations, no?

Fair, but ultimately also an excuse. He is the batman, he could beat the shit ouf of the entire political establishment and the corrupt big money paying them. Who else if not he, with his super advanced gadgets and tech? He could overcome the security systems and personnel those people employ better than anyone else in Gotham.

I dont like working out either

Perhaps this is a little pretentious but i don’t consider the cattle type of users, who will go where the most people are, like the most popular content, and generally follow along with the digital mainstream without much thought or personal agenda, valuable additions to online conversations. As far as I’m concerned they can stay wherever they are and if needed be fed some downstream summary of what the actual people talk about elsewhere.

Because it doesn’t matter how good they are when they are confronted with a bunch of guys just as good except they are a meter taller and have a wing span like a fucking condor. Those will simply be better at the game.

Arguing this, I realized you could answer your question by replacing “average height men” with “women” and you know right away why.

If i get god like powers, yes I’ll fix shit. If I’m a standard person trying to save the world on my own, def not.

This. Or perhaps it works like the ori in Stargate, where the worship and belief in their divinity is a source of power. The more people worship them, the more powerful they are (compared to the “atheist” gods they split with some millennia ago).

Well if you are becoming V, then yes it sucks either way. But V isn’t exactly filthy rich, they are just some random merc decked out in cyberware. I was more thinking being someone like the arasakas. Or some other nepotism profiteer living the good life

Well yes but if you get to be the protagonist, aka the winner in a world of only winners and losers, that’s fine. I’m sure I wouldn’t hate capitalism as much if I were filthy rich and a beneficent of the system

Our car centric world. We have somehow intersected everything and everywhere with death zone strips where people can’t go. And that’s entirely normal and accepted.

Why tho, lemmy has no karma. Doesn’t matter what they post or if it ends up being popular or not.

So obviously people shouldn’t be shitting all over some random new guy joining lemmy for making an innocent post, they learn the ropes around here soon enough.

Provided dipshits don’t scare them off with unfounded hostility

Imagine this: you can just say nothing. You dont have to leave a shitty, hostile comment on posts not appealing to you. Just shut the fuck up and move on.

Bsky is just another corporate venture, it is probably better than any other commercial alternative but it will inevitably go the same route as the others people are fleeing.

I really miss /boneappletea

As a daily smoker, yes.

Though I will contest that it is largely psychological, when i go on a break after a couple days of poor sleep and appetite i am back to normal.

Wait am I still on the left side

Nazism isn’t necessarily antisemitic, but totalitarian, race based fascism. Hitler didn’t hate just the Jews, they were just the most convenient and plentiful enemy available in Germany at that time (we didn’t have many black slaves in the country for example, plus the Jews were a tried and tested enemy due to widespread antisemitic tendencies in the christian population).

He also didn’t care for most other races and ethnic groups and wanted them either to serve as a subservient class to the aryans (some eastern europeans for example), deport and “contain” them in their countries of origin (iirc most asian peoples) or, as with the jews, exterminate them by various means such as forced labor.
