The same people have been predicting we are all going to die from an Ice Age or Global Warming for decades. And they seem to come up with a new angle of bullshit for every generation. In your situation, in 10 years absolutely nothing will change in global temperatures, but these same people will have a news bullshit story to tell you. Those who have been around a while have seen it all before. And hopefully you have a long life and will experience the cycle of bullshit. And hopefully you will finally recognize the scam for what it is

You just are never going to get it. I listen to all sides. I do my own research and form my own opinion. When was the last time you read something factual that goes against what you believe, did your own research and changed your opinion? I have done it many times.

LOL 99% of the media has a leftist slant which is why you are firmly in the hive of misinformation. And peer reviewed means that they agree with you

Did you bother to read the rules of the group?

No need to discuss a fact. Just deflect it.

I agree most social platforms are leftist hive mind wastelands. What is funny is how 99% isn't enough for the leftist. They must eliminate all debate. But if I couldn't defend my position in a debate I guess I would just call the other guy names. So much better to live in the hive and never have to think for yourself

You are clueless. Conservatives want to be left alone. I couldn't care less what you do

No sure what you are saying. But Conservatives don't care what you do. Just leave us alone. The Left HAS TO impose their beliefs on everyone because if they weren't imposed the majority would reject them

Excellent point. Let's make lemmy a one voice, one opinion paradise. Just like any tolatarian govenment that we all love. And remember that anyone who disagrees with us is bad. Interesting how some so much fear open discussion with those who hold opinions different than there's. Not surprising why people on the left despise debates of the issues.

Good point. Why have a place for all points of view. Much better to have an echo chamber

thank you. makes sense

Still trying to figure out what "local" means

good question. wish I knew the answer

I agree with a prior poster that very few of them there know anything about lemmy. I was recently banned there and stumbled upon lemmy. As a former mod there I know that I could get many to migrate but have lost the ability to post there. Anyone have any ideas how to get a reddit account unbanned other than the usual appeal process.

I now almost exclusively read books online. Check out Hoopla or ICloud. There are various ways to search fiction/nonfiction new/old releases read or audiobooks. I get free access via my local library.

there is a famous quote that comes to mind. "there are none so blind as those who refuse to see". And the basis of that quote is exactly what those currently in power count on.

Great let them terrorize the sane on city streets

LOL. Reading some of the comments here I am starting to believe that there are multiverses and we have visitors from them to the one that we currently reside in

I will agree with you on most of what you said....but these people need to be isolated out of society. If they want to slowly kill themselves that's fine. But no one should allow them to turn our cities into shit holes as they live on the street.

So you are saying that if everything was equal and this was one of Trump's kids the outcome would be the same?
