"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it." - George Orwell. He has a lot of good writing, I would recommend.

Listen to criticism, if the criticism seems valid react, if it doesn't move on with your life.

The fact that it was legally mandated is good evidence that it is [necessary].

P1 If X was legally mandated then that is good evidence that X is necessary.

P2 Slavery was legally mandated (in the USA)

C1 There is good evidence slavery is necessary.

P3 [insert other silly/abhorrent thing here: ICE in general, state murder...] was legally mandated.

C2 There is good evidence silly/abhorrent thing is necessary.

Personally I'd reject P1, the law isn't an arbitrator of mortality, or truth. Due to C2 I'd side eye anyone who says it is.

I quite liked lemmyNSFW for not federating downvotes. Now they're/we're/I am on PieFed I've been looking for a way to hide downvotes. My engagement can just be reply/upvote/ignore/block/report. I understand why people downvotes, I'm happy you all have them. I'm just not personally interested in them.

Harris could have stood in the middle of 5th avenue, and shot someone, and still not lost some people's vote.
