Me go back to Reddit? Whoa. Reddit is polluted with left wing crazies. No thanks.
Yes, blue states are cesspools of humanity. San Francisco has been destroyed by your precious left wing politics. Stores are leaving , chaining up products, etc. all because a certain faction of society just can’t figure out how to get it right and live like you’re supposed to. Im not a big fan of pickup trucks myself. Not sure where you got that from. But petrol cars must remain available as the electric wet dream of the greenies isn’t going to work and they know it. How’s the slave labor driven lithium mining going for those precious batteries? Uh oh!
Communism sucks. We all know what it is. Are you really still one of those people trying to sell that turd? Show me where communism has worked… provide a link. LOL.
Lol I couldn't be as clueless as you even if I got a lobotomy.
Lemmy is founded and created by leftists and the entire fediverse concept is a very socialist idea. Some of the biggest instances are literally communist. I am not sure how you could possibly be here without noticing this.... Meanwhile reddit has been overrun with alt right dipshits for years but you think the opposite lol
Yeah San Francisco has problems. Totally proves the left wrong!! /s There is a a reason you people always use that example. Out of hundreds of cities worldwide, it's the only one you have. Doesn't stop SF from being a highly sought after place to live with some of the most insane rent in the world. Because unlike your Podunk town, people actually want to live there. You don't know it, but all you really said here is "I'm a huge pussy, afraid of cities because they contain black people and I'm pretty racist"_
I don't give all that much of a shit about electric cars really but every major automaker is betting their companies on electric cars being the future. So, lol, yeah I'm sure some dipshit on the Internet is smarter than all of those companies combined.
What I'm making fun of you for regarding communism is that there are many morons out there without a fucking clue what communism is, but they're still obsessed with it. You definitely seem to be one of them.
Hmmm. Reddit is way more left leaning and it’s is the center or center right people that get banned there. But, oh well.
Our Podunk town is quiet, friendly and doing quite well. We don’t want more people to come here, thanks. You act like that’s a problem. Amazingly, people like open spaces, limited noise, no WalMarts, etc. We even own an acre of land! Wow. Imagine that? But, please do insult us as your kind excels at. There are numerous blue cities that are in serious trouble. But, please ignore it. People and legit businesses are fleeing such places. Criminals are coddled, the police are hated, etc. OK then, enjoy the Wild West. This is what you wanted. Maybe you can personally house a few migrants and homeless dudes? Be part of the solution, right?
Communism is a guaranteed way for everyone to end up miserable. Just take a look through history. It isn’t hard to decipher why it’s unpopular.
Lol Russian trolls rarely get banned spreading lies (that you endorse), but yeah somehow that's more leftist than a literal socialist platform. You must be new. You'll find out that magats are not welcome here.
"We don't want more people to come here" lmao... As if the racism-with-a-smile dynamic here isn't the reason people absolutely do not want to move there. That and the economic wasteland that is small town America. I would know, I waited until I was almost 30 to gtfo of a hellhole like that. Over the years I've almost never heard of a story from someone from my high school who stayed in the area who didn't die, ruin their lives with drugs, or go to jail. Even the rich kids followed this pattern for the most part, unless they moved away.
Funny you mention Walmart like that's a city thing lol... "People are fleeing". Yeah I'm sure that because the pandemic happened I'm sure that will undo 150 years of trending toward life in cities.
Yeah you can have your acre. I'll take having employment options, culture, not being a fatass, and not just the false sense of security, an actual one. Crime is far higher per capita in small towns. Which again, my life is 1000 times better because I left. I don't have to be poor and surrounded by misery, obesity, and insanely ignorant takes. I'll never go back. But if that's your thing enjoy it. Try not to get shot by a meth head in the middle of nowhere...
Lol just noticed that you are literally joined to a literal COMMUNIST lemmy instance. And you do know you're not welcome, you've been here three weeks and have a lot of negative karma...
Now it makes sense that you're here. You're just here to talk about cOmMunIsM, which outside of China and your Lemmy instance, isn't really even a thing in the world. All leftists usually want, at most, is more socialist policies.
Practically no one is wanting to destroy capitalism. Not because it doesn't deserve to be or isn't evil, but because we aren't total morons who want to tear down a system without a good replacement for it. There could be some balance in the world if it weren't for people like you...
Enjoy your straw men though.
You're literally using a communist instance. The ML in lemmy.ml stands for Marxist Leninist..
I must have joined the wrong one. You're right. I can tell by the posts. I assume Lemmy has a "normal" version? Ill find it. Thanks.
