No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I gotta be honest, if you ever want to make a point land with anyone, starting with "... privilege" is about one of the worst ways to do it. It's just an insult: you have such a cushie life that you can't conceive of whatever.
And then, given the opportunity, you should probably actually answer their question instead of simply condescending.
Are you really tone policing me when OP is calling people children and infants? I'm also very privileged, I'm not trying to own OP, just trying to point out the origins of their beliefs. Their situation isn't due to a lack of barbarism, it's due to successful barbarism. It's not even all in the past, the US commits atrocities every decade, and has its own border crisis.
They are correct in saying I'm privileged, being a middle class white American male is 100% an advantage in life. Doesn't mean I can't conceptualize feelings from a different viewpoint.
North America went from undeveloped to world leader in what, 300 years? Israel and Palestine have been habitated by humans more than 6000 years. Both equidistant from European hubs of industry and innovation.
So the fact it hasn't developed into a world leading pair of nations is on the people.
Please educate yourself, you're embarrassing yourself and your people.
The US is just as propagandized as Russia and China and it shows.
Dumbest shit I've ever read. What do you think about Africa, oh enlightened adult? Africa's been inhabited for over 100,000 years. Is their lack of development "on the people" too?
