People of Lemmy, I dare you to name ONE billionaire that's done anything good.

Reply in thread

His EMPLOYEES build reusable rockets. His EMPLOYEES built electric cars. Even if he participated in this process he would be on a supporting role. Similar to a janitor on spacex, a guy that maybe enables the real pros to do good stuff. (the janitor may actually be more important than musk tbh)

He did NOT restore free speech on twitter. Many activists a still being silenced every day. He gives their data to authoritarian goverments who have journalists executed. Free speech is about freedom from goverment retaliation and he actively aids goverments in suppressing free speech.

Vaush being homophobic rule

Vaush is amazing and a great advocate for Trans rights and the left in general. I see so mny people hate on him but he has generally very good opinions. I dont agree with him on everything (he's very US centric and that limits his perspective).

This kind of hatred towards one of the best trans friendly content creator is bad and you should stop. I recommend you actually watch him because he is none of the things you accuse him of being (maybe a bit mean and abrasive).

Also r/enoughvaushspam is a hate forum that has sent multiple death threats and organized hate raids on vaush and his community. Please don't go to these kinds of hate fueled places.

How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?

Reply in thread

Why would ppl from other countries know the internal division of the US. Thats like asking ppl to know brazillian regions. Or russian ones, or Chinese ones. Those are equally big countries but ppl are not expected to know those internal borders and names.

People make fun of Americans not only because they were ignorant of global geography, but also because they didnt generally show much interest in it. It is a response to american exceptiolism i think. Making fun of those that think that the USA is the best country and all that really matters.

Still i dont find making fun of Americans for that very funny. Specially because its not that true anymore.
