Haha, well this aged like milk

Yeah, they do, because it works and because it is the more just option in some instances.

I, for example, am on .cafe allowing my account to be downvoted by rape apologists who are arguing rapists have an absolute right to participate in the community regardless of what they do and the fact that their actions put the community in danger. I oppose rape on principle and think rapists ought to be jailed for life. You think shit Lemmy users are going to listen? No, and the downvotes prove it. But will it affect or change anything? Or change their minds? Absolutely not. Because humanity is inherently evil and violent, and nothing you and I say or do will change that.

You can’t make violent evil people change their minds, and you can never stop violence just as I can never stop enablers from keeping rapists in the community.

Deontological morality like the kind you and I apply to such situations therefore doesn’t work, and we both need to rethink our approach. You want to make the world a better place? Stop focusing on changing the zoo animals and just feed and cage them, where they belong.

I am not demanding shit.

You don’t have to like it. But if humanity wants peace thry have to choose it.

🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, dream on, no one is ever going to give up the conflicts, values and issues that matter to them just because you get the icks from something that is ultimately not your business.

No one is ever rejecting violence for any reason. And you’re immoral for demanding it.

No that’s NOT the purpose of society 🤣, the purpose of society is to meet our needs, and no amount of arguing from you is going to change that.

Human society has succeeded for thousands of years despite violence within its walls and will keep doing so because humans are selfish, evil little goblins who only care about shoveling McDonald’s into their mouths.

And you can’t enforce ANY rule without protecting your people against bad faith arguing. It’s a foundation of ALL communities, whether explicitly written in its guidelines or not, because meaningful debate is the foundation of ALL human interaction and is primarily what abuse and harassment is.

The needs of your people are more important than your laziness, selfishness, and unwillingness to do your job. Don’t like it? Step the fuck down. You go find a different community to play king over if you don’t like it.

Then what good is your moderation? The whole fucking point of having you around is TO police bad faith arguing. That’s what mods are FOR.

Either you’re doing a good job of playing along or I am actually hearing about something legitimately worse than the abuse I suffered as a child. I don’t know whether to give you kudos or sympathy.

Blinding stew isn’t actually real. It’s the fact that people apparently would use it wholeheartedly, on children, that’s horrific.

That’s exactly the sort of thing you don’t want your kid remembering. All it will do is foster in her a vengeance against you, and she would have a pretty legitimate grievance. Who blinds a child, no matter how temporary?

Then watch her learn how to echolocate and then blind him permanently 🤦

Jesus Christ. Kids do stupid shit like that. They don’t even say how old the kid is. You literally could just bitch at them and make them stop if they were old enough. Or put something harmless but bad tasting on a wig or something and have the kid chew on that, breaking the cycle.

Why do people have to be like this?

13 by 2 rectangle? 🤔

Because he lost his joy at some point in his life and Disney adults remind him of what he lost, which angers him

Did you miss the part where I told you to shove it because you think post history is a valid argument that means anything?

Speaking of class: I didn’t have to resort to crying to a mod on you.

Go. Touch. Grass.

I sincerely wish you were right, but those two are specifically why I’m worried.

That’s the way you sound when you accused BLM protesters of similar things.

Sure it is, and that’s why you chose to patronize me by asking such a stupid question.

Now go play with your toys or something. Go build something with your blocks.

It = .world since your reading comprehension is so poor

White rice is bland and disgusting regardless of what you put on it.

It should, but it won’t because it’s run by corporate shills who likely were bribed by Meta and possibly even Reddit goons to keep social discourse in the hands of the ruling class.
