What’s a shame is that, for all of your words, you seem to know very little about WW2 and Nazi Germany. You’ve reduced it all to basically a straw man so you can win an argument no-one is making. Honestly, if I was a nazi, I’d be insulted by your reductivism. As someone against nazis, it’s insulting too.

In the end, it’s a lot of words to say you’re a) ignorant as hell and b) probably qualify as a nazi

that’s not what deflecting is… but that was.

please explain - spoken like a nazi sympathizer.

you are the yikes.

lol

mango is both retarded, and unrelatedly correct.

re: Tankies: I’m 90% sure that’s part of the inexperienced and immature crowd; they - like the vegans and the anti-renting crowd - all have super tunnel vision. Zero nuance or discussion. They fixate on one point to the exclusion of any sanity (which is heavily a spectrum symptom).

HOWEVER, I should add in my rant, there is one other odd / good thing about Lemmy: significantly higher ratio of non-Americans. More language/ communication barriers I’ve encountered from it, and they are still mostly the aforementioned groups - but hey, not 99% Americans here.

re: Asperger’s: heh, I get you. Honestly, imo: own it. Like the LGBT crowd taking the word “gay” back, I see no problem with “Aspys” reclaiming Aspergers.

Linux, vegans, anti-renting, autists (literally, not a slur); it’s a good mix of the worst of Reddit, without the racism & nazis of Reddit. The biggest longterm difference is that almost no-one on Lemmy has any skills or experience. Flying Squid is 47 and only discovered that coupons existed on the internet last month. There aren’t knowledge experts on topics like Reddit has.

Honestly, Reddit has been looking better and better. Overall, conversations are more wholesome than on Lemmy. Which is weird as fuck.

I mean, don’t get me wrong: r/conservative and plenty of places are cesspools of filth, but you can get banned from reasonable subs by posting or joining garbage subs. It’s done a lot to make things less shit.

CEO is still garbage, mods are mixed, etc.

that would be the correct, nuanced approach, yes. But that isn’t how things are on Lemmy.

basically, Lemmy doesn’t think people should be allowed to rent. You either own a house or live in a hotel. No inbetween.

Still struggling with English, I see?

dude, I’m literally begging you to understand nothing I’ve said is “my idea”, but how things actually are outside of your house.

that makes it worse.

A European who acts like they’ve never left the usa.

no.

no.

lol. no.

and you’ve never left the usa.

lol. no.

Except for Dave. Someone should say something to him.

There are more cashless options than using banks.

In some countries you can use phones (and phone credit, more or less) as your payment option. Doesn’t even have to be a smart phone, though that makes it easier.

Beggers on the street with QR codes printed out. Or their phone number on cardboard.

And in other countries, you can use the local equivalent of the Uber app instead of a bank account.

Cashless is good. Safer for the homeless (harder to rob) and still easy to give money to them.
