Whether it's economic, cultural, political, religious, ideological, whatever, what are some ideas that you believe in? I think friendly (very important!!) discussion of these could be good as to understand the views of others. Pluralism and the acceptance of many beliefs is generally a good thing.

As long as you don't believe in implausible conspiracy theories or say anything that is listed on the rules of most Lemmy communities and instances (in which case, don't say it), I think the opinions of others should be respected!

Please don't devolve this into a hot political argument, holy war, or similar. It ends badly for world powers (all of them), and it will end badly here with no winning sides. Friendly debate is ok as long as you don't go nuts, make sure you give good supporting arguments with evidence!

Inaction is still an action. Not improving the world around you is a choice to accept it. You need to choose your battles, of course, but choose none and I will judge you accordingly.

I choose to switch off and let it turn to shit. Judge away.

lol lemmy doesn't care that it might be because of depression or trauma, or even simply because of a well-reasoned position. They're so hopelessly conditioned by political talking points that they will write you off without even trying to understand. Sad.

Okiedokie. I don't like you, if that makes you feel better. ❤️

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I have learned to not care what a person thinks of me, or whether they like me or not.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I am not so sure. You spent some effort here to signal yourself.

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

Oh no, anonymous person over the internet doesn't like me.

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh it turned to shit because of you.

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Guilty as charged.
