  • "Opinions are like arseholes", but when you've seen 1,000 very similar arseholes you're probably going to want to see some different ones.

  • It's emotional times so I understand that rationality ends up taking a back seat in the mind. I hope you're right!

  • What do you do when people don't care?

    Jump

  • The moderate right provide a platform for the far right but I don't think that makes them default Nazi's.

    Besides that, I'm not suggesting that you can always deprogram a Nazi, but you can absolutely target the moderate right swing voters who may not take kindly to being called a Nazi.

    Honestly, your point of view is no better than the "all Muslims are terrorists" mantra and people like you will sleep walk us in to another four years of Republican rule.

  • Great comment. Trump won and the amount of people here throwing the Nazi word around still don't realise how self defeating they are.

    You can't tell someone their an idiot or evil and then expect them to try seeing things your way, you're much more likely to end up entrenching their beliefs. The goal should be to win them over, that won't be accomplished by telling them how wrong and stupid they are.

    Engage, don't alienate, no matter how hard that feels at times.

  • I'd be getting bored if it was an echo chamber of any flavour.

    As I've said in other comments, I'm here to learn and part of that means exposing myself to people that do not think alike to me. I'm not hear to circle jerk about how right we are, maybe that was fun the first few thousand times, it's just boring now.

    Ideally I'd like to get involved with a broad spectrum of people that somewhat represent the society that we live in.

    Maybe I should just get offline and go to the pub.

  • It's extremely big headed to think that only the people who agree with you are arguing honestly and have not based their arguments on any incorrect information.

    I'm here to learn and grow, not to circle jerk with my friends about how right we are.

  • In the UK there is some similarity between liberal and left wing ideas, despite them being distinct political groups. Liberalism was originally seen as very left wing, a lot of people are now arguing that there is more in common with right wing politics, small state and such.

    I'd say my experience here has been much more left wing than liberal though, just my opinion.

  • This is kind of the derision that I'm talking about. (I am assuming that you are talking about the right wing). Whilst there is some truth to it, you disagreeing with them or their arguments doesn't mean that it isn't interesting, or worthy of discussion or debate.

    I do agree that hate speech should be banned and that isn't what I'm interested in.

    I'm not interested in the MAGA point of view per se, I'm interested in a diverse spectrum of ideas and opinions that reflect a real cross section of society, where undoubtedly some of them will be MAGA people. Whereas there is a very strong left leaning bias here.

  • Thanks for this. Will definitely check out those instances.

  • Looking for facial moisturizer suggestions that will relieve redness

    Jump

  • The redness in your cheeks when cold is due to increased blood flow trying to keep your skin warm, I take it that they return to normal when you warm up? I don't think a specific moisturizer can really help with this.

    You could try a balaclava if your red cheeks are really bothering you.

  • Where do you draw the line on when to boycott something?

    Jump

  • I'll boycott companies.

    Something being technically legal doesn't necessarily make it moral or OK and whilst I absolutely agree that laws and regulations should be in place to prevent horrible behaviour, it's not reasonable to expect this in every case.

    I'll absolutely make a decision to withdraw my custom if I don't agree that a company is acting appropriately, it's the only power you have as a consumer and the only thing companies care about is getting your money.

    AITAH My brother is a Musk apologist and I no longer want to come to his wedding

    Jump

  • You've applied the label of fascist and Nazi yourself, nowhere in OPs post does he define his brother as a fascist or Nazi. Left Vs Right political differences doesn't mean you automatically get to apply labels like commie or Nazi, a lot of people on Lemmy need to grow up.

    OP bought up the Musk debate with his brother knowing that his brother is a right winger, then OP got upset when his brother acted just as you'd expect. He poked a dog with a stick and then got upset when it barked.

    Jump

  • Honestly, and I already know I'm massively against the consensus here, but you should be the bigger man.

    Tell your brother that you disagree with him but that he's family, you'll always love him and that you're honoured to be a guest at his wedding.

    If you want to draw a line and say "let's not talk about politics though" or something like that, then absolutely do.

    Don't have all your family and his friends talk about how you're refusing to attend because you had a fall out over politics, you're not going to appear principled, you're going to appear petty. You've made your point to your brother, now move on.

  • To play devil's advocate, he specifically means those who were born to foreign people staying in the US illegally.

  • To be fair, I do believe he is specifically talking about illegal immigrants and they're supposed to get deported.
