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!

I didn't think that's sad.
