Lol, go back to what exactly? I remember the overwhelming majority of parents had literally zero clue how to deal with the internet when it first became a thing. Children went online and saw all kinds of traumatizing shit.

I mean, at least people warned you to never post your name, age or pictures online.

The status quo sucks, but going back doesn’t sound great either.

Great answer, thank you.

I don’t, I’m within the group of privileged people who can pick and choose. I work part-time as of recently and feel alright about my job. I assume the same goes for you?

If you have no dependents, no pre-existing debts to pay, are preferably young, live in a country with a good economy, got enough money or access to a decent social security program, then the internalized worldview might be the main problem.

Not saying this doesn’t apply to quite a few people, but there are a lot of others who don’t have that luxury.

social anxiety has entered the chat

Let’s say we decide that morals what is right and wrong is decided entirely by ourselves. Then it makes perfect sense to defend your own opinions and to disagree with people who disagree with your stance on right and wrong. You chose those morals after all. It’s kinda part of the deal that they can’t apply to you alone (example: when is it just to kill?)

So I don’t see a contradiction.

I guess this post is about Inability to engage with a different set of morals. But assuming that their is an absolute truth for right and wrong wouldn’t solve that issue, so I’m not sure why they brought it up.

I don’t disagree , but there’s still the issue of different natural day-night rhythms. Night owls vs early birds.

Some people will need less discipline and motivation than others to achieve this.

Not to undermine the discipline of anyone who actually makes it happen.

Care to take some of my hours, lol?

I need to sleep 10 hours, every night, otherwise I’m actively depriving myself of sleep. I’m not ill, got confirmed that that’s just how it is. A 40 hour work week really wasn’t made for this.

If someone gets abducted and put in a stolen house with stolen furniture, are they to blame?

Like, I get it, we enjoy the privileges and share the responsibility to change shit. But responsibility and blame are two different things.

The original commenter said that burning down Teslas might destroy the owners life. This is a car that costs somewhere between 40000 (?) and 150000 dollars. Someone who can afford that is highly likely to recover. That’s what this commenter pointed out.

Stating that isn’t saying that it’s cool to burn down a random person’s car.

I do that in reverse, lol. Except I’m also not a native speaker. “Rephrase this, it should sound more scientific”.

I hear they’re pretty good at driving local birds extinct right now. Think about what would happen if they got this much time to hone their craft!

Probably, but I’d only believe that there is really nothing to be done once I see someone actually left-leaning attempt everything in their toolbox.

I believe Sanders would have tried to change as much as possible in the US. I also believe that he would have failed regarding a lot of things. Would have really liked to see him try though.

I get it and I don’t disagree, but- Well, I for one wouldn’t mind some radical change. Just not in the direction that it is going right now. Radical in itself is nothing bad, when the status quo is as bad as it is.

It’s terrible advice if you struggle with it.

I however cry quite easily. In hindsight all this “don’t suppress your feelings” advice honestly always felt more directed at boys and men.

Learning to turn off and distract yourself from bad feelings is also a skill. I think quite a few people - especially women - struggle with that, me included.

Now this is fucking cool! Sure it will probably take some time to become affordable, but that it’s possible at all is awesome.

I mean, I was super curious what Sanders could’ve done if he had the chance. Instead, we got the opposite experiment.

If democrats in the US vote for stuff like Biden, then they’re not voting for any radical change. Trump isn’t comparable to that.

Aye People, recommend me some funny communities!

Just noticed that it shows how many days ago I joined. The babies are taking over this thread. This is a baby-thread now.

This. A lot of the earth doesn’t look like this. And a lot of normal jobs are actively making it worse. Like, unfortunately you don’t need to work for Nestle to be a part of that.

I’m not blaming any minimum wage worker at Amazon or retail or in factories of course. They got no choice. We live in a system where unemployment is ultimately better for the planet than a significant portion of jobs.
