Considering that is that capitalistic hellhole to cause you to walk piles of corpses. Yeah.
Are you
aware
that you are spending energy complaining about the tone of online discourse
when others have it worse?
You're allowed to be critical of capitalism even if you dont have it worse than everyone else on planet earth. Shocking I know.
This is huge "hmmm, yet you participate in society" energy and is exactly the kind of thing the owning class want you to think like, probably has been paid for and spread by and for capital
You absolute fucking pillock
why is it always a piefed.ca account??
Just because someone has it worse doesn't mean you don't have it bad.
People have worse than you therefore you shouldn't challenge the systems that made it so instead of just rolling over and complying, Dog.
WTF is this shite
Would you prefer they not complain at all and ignore othersβ problems?
I end up explaining this a lot:
Just because something 'more X' exists, it does not mean things that are 'less X' cease to exist. If someone else has been murdered somewhere in the world, it doesn't mean non-consentual gropings are to be ignored. If your older sibling was given three slices of pizza, it does not mean you will starve with your two slices. The fact that we have a concept of a googleplex as a number does not mean the number one is meaningless.
Whether something is good or bad, it remains good or bad, regardless of its scale.
And complaining about things, though annoying, is the best form of feedback we can hope for. If something is wrong, no feedback leads to the continuation of the thing being wrong. If people complain, something can be done to fix the issue. If people take direct action to end the problem, that's usually violence.
By diminishing people's ability to complain, you are advocating for either ignorance of harm or violence.
By diminishing peopleβs ability to complain
No one's diminishing. A critique of dumb complaints is also a complaint. Are you diminishing their ability to complain? Welcome to complaining.
Diminishing is, I admit, a rough word choice. I actually tried thinking of something else but couldn't quite find the right word. It's... Perhaps denormalizing? Demoralizing? Diminutizing? Denaturing? I'm still trying but can't quite land it.
Perhaps I can find a way to talk you around the perimeter and you can get an idea what I mean. Complaining serves a purpose in making a problem known so that it can be addressed. Complaining about others complaining doesn't directly diminish their ability to complain in that they haven't been physically or coercively stopped from complaining, but it does delegitimate their complaints, which is not inherently bad (some complaints are dumb) but when the delegitimation is carried out based on some broad class like ethnicity/nationality/etc. rather than the legitimacy of the particular complaint, that reads like prejudice, of which I'm generally not in favor.
Unfortunately we all live on the same planet being turned into a hellhole by capitalists, some just have more corpse piles to deal with than others
Life isn't a pissing contest.
There will always be someone with it worse.
Oh you were molested as a kid. Well this other person was gang raped as a kid.
Oh you were gang raped. Just once as a kid.
Well this other person was trafficked and raped for years.
Oh you were trafficked and raped for 5 years.
Well this other person was also trafficked and raped for 10 years and also beaten every day.
See how that "what about" b.s is not helpful. ?
Injustices are not dismissed because something worse happened to someone else.
Did it cross your mind that the reason so many people have to walk by piles of corpses is because of capitalism. Because war and exploitation is profitable to those in power.
