That’s quite the clever tactic. Just throw together a “salad” of an argument — so incoherent and lacking in logic that no one can make sense of it. Then say, “if you can’t understand it, you’re proving my point.” Win? Somehow?

I think suicide should be legal for all ages. If one didn’t ask to be born, why should one have to wait many many years to exit?

And while I am of the opinion that suicide should be legal and freely provided, mental health (and all other forms of health) should also be provided freely.

I think this is the one thing that is impossible to defend. In my opinion, not being vegan is impossible to justify, on ethical and moral grounds. And I am not vegan currently (I was in the past).

I think if people had to pay for every software package, it would get very expensive, very fast. I am against having to pay for FLOSS. I am, however, of the opinion that FLOSS devs should be paid. Professional use should pay them, and big companies using FLOSS packages should pay the devs of said packages a substantial amount. Facebook uses something free? No way, you will pay.

Basic Income would also help FLOSS.

I am lost at your comment. Seems like a word salad in which you say absolutely nothing of substance.

What does being an organ donor have to do with capitalism, or with the western society? And what does it have to do with “humans as physical entities in terms of the value they create”? What are you talking about?

I’m opposed to your perspective because it creates the precedent for Westerners to continue rationalizing the dehumanization of people under the safety umbrella of good capitalist business practices.

What???

Why? But why are you not an organ donnor and why would your wishes even matter? You will be death. Your organs can either decompose in the dirt, or help save a life and reduce suffering. Why do you want “someone in your court” to decide?

It is, indeed, very selfish of you. Why?

Your takes are way too mild guys… Yet again, I will go even further:

I am an antinatalist:

• Having kids is unethical in all cases. It is always an egocentric act. You may have many reasons to have kids, but none are for the good of the child. It cannot be, since the child does not exist yet. Hence, it is egotistical.

It is always better to not exist.

“Better never to have been”, by Benatar, should be mandatory reading.

I agree with you, but I go even further. I think suicide should be legal, in all cases. There should be suicide booths that provide a humane, painless dead, for free use by whoever wants to kill oneself. And I am of the opinion that this would improve society. If the “slaves” of today’s society had an easy way out, perhaps the CEOs and the billionaires would have to start paying living wages and wouldn’t be able to take advantage of people and ruin the environment/society.

And another interesting scenario would be: You kill a CEO, run to a suicide booth, kill yourself.

I, also, am against the death penalty. I don’t trust anyone with that job. However, at the same time, I also believe some people should be killed. People who gravely endangered humanity and caused immense suffering to everyone who exists and will exist, for example, pro-capitalist and pro-modern-slavery people such as Elon Musk. Or the guys from the Volkswagen emissions scandal. People like those should not exist.

That is really helpful. Thank you for posting!

Dunno why he didn’t link sex forums. I am sure there are some nice ones out there!

I stand corrected! Thank you!

Why is this in the “memes” community? It is not a meme, is it? We should have a general discussion community for topics like these! (if it doesn’t exist already).

Can you source (links) where you took those numbers and all that info?

That tweet is so weird. He hates several groups of people (trans, etc), can’t they hate him back? He never physically hurt anyone? Well, no one has physically hurt him as well. So far, quid pro quo…?

No? In that sentence, it should be “to” and not “too”. Am I having a brain fart?

Is this really the case? I find this unexpected. Lemmy seems to be friendly to the LGBTQ people, namely trans.

If what you say is true, we should probably address it somehow.

I don’t think gym goers usually listen to podcasts in the gym. They probably do it outside the gym. But again, they could just as well listen to someone like Peter Attia or Mike Israetel. It doesn’t really answer the question: Why is it that gym goers are generally right wing? Maybe they are not and I am just suffering from a selection bias.

Oh. This is one of the reasons I hate the anime culture…

My favorite anime is One Punch Man. I just like the vibe of the character and his depressive outview. I sympathize with Saitama, such a well written character. However, go to the onepunchman subreddit and god damn, most of them are drawing children in minimal clothes. What the fuck is wrong with everyone.

Really? Cryptography people are generally right wing? I did not expect that!

Oh ya… Gym goers are notoriously right wing… It is annoying.

Even in Europe (where I am from), most gym goers are people who would have voted for Trump. I think it might be due to the fact they are generally younger? I don’t know. I do know that it is annoying trying to befriend someone and then you find out they are right wing. God damn.
