Lemmy world is more right wing than reddit

1>1

Most of world could just be a multireddit of r/worldnews and r/politics. Reddit has been doing all the same but is a bit better at dressing it in respectability politics imo and doesn't have commies on the brain as often. Usually, the commies arguing on that site aren't outright saying it and a lib wouldn't recognize them without the giant "I'm a commie" sign instances suffixes give. I saw two people arguing with some chuds and then went into a digression about the contradictions of capitalism but without the "That's a commie" sign no one noticed they were discussing theory.

un formidable choc en retour is a hallmark of imperialism.

I mean, anything I hear about either of tends to be more than I would like to hear but both continue to plague reality at the same time as my existence.

It was the most economical choice

I mean, the obvious motivation here is racism, as other commenters have pointed out.

Oh definitely but I do think there is a separate ideological move at play as I believe I have seen similar things used to disparage white folk as well. I have interacted with a lot of people who genuinely believe not monitoring your kids for most of the day is reckless behavior and some people even have reported the cops have been called on them for letting their kids play on their own lawn unmonitored. (Which if that is a crime my family needs to be sent to the prison camps).

Heck, I grew up in the 2000s and was not allowed to go more than 2-3 houses away excluding the occasional B-line to a specific friend's house who lived just outside that radius until I was about 10 or so. I had assumed it was a one-off thing at the time and my family quickly relented randomly after I hit double digits (I swear some people just place arbitrary markers for what is allowed) but saw it apply to more and more kids as I was a teen and several members of the cohort just behind me had similar if not stricter rules than I did.

I don't think it is just racism as play, there is a very push towards the idea being outside is extremely unsafe which has been happening for quite some time.

I mean of course, what they did they are not culpable for as companies are at the behest of shareholders and cannot act against them. What's that? Apply the logic to the shareholders then? Well, they aren't culpable as they didn't tell the company do to this, just to maximize profits, it's not their fault this company acted so unethically to do so. What's that? Then the company should be to blame? Well, they aren't culpable as they didn't know (they did) that they were doing such atrocities. Or if they did know they were really given no choice but not to seek to cut costs and corners and the shareholders pressured them hard to do so. What's that?...

And if you do find somewhere along the lines someone has a hard time denying culpability with our little death spiral, we have to slap a fine on them and call it a day. Jail? Well how could a company go to jail idiot, are you dumb? Break up their company? Think of all the jobs and the economy and how poor you'll be with expensive gas. We would really truly love to but it would ruin all of us so has to be tolerated for the greater good. Besides this fine which is 0.00001% of their profits will totally deter them. (If that is the case tickets should be a few cents logically).

That'd be fun, wouldn't it? But we all know what this truly is intended as is a rallying call to keep them chained to an iPad inside.
