Are you tired of political content on lemmy? (crossposting outside of .ml)

My opinion:

I just wish someone would stop with all those leftist memes like ‘future of humanity under socialism vs. capitalism’ because it’s just, in a crude manner, cringe. They’re not very unique, and fail to underline even the basic differences between the two ideologies.

Capitalism is not understood by everyone here, and I feel like those making this stuff are extremely young, have yet to understand what the world offers.

It’s clear that socialism does have its merits but making memes simply mocking capitalism without showing crude memes… not worth it.

I just downvote those kind of posts, they’re awfully low quality and low effort.

Mint is an unironically beautiful experience. They've made it perfect, I had my uncle install mint for his personal work too and he used a lot of MS Office suite, but mint just kept him right at home. Didn't have to buy another overpriced consumer laptop.

How do you want to be remembered?

I refuse your opinion. There might be a time, a place, a random conversation where I'm remembered. I want people to take my name in a good way, not like Hitler.

It's not illegal to care about others, you will get something back in life if you help others. Build favours.

To be honest, your comment seems like a huge cry for help.

Iraq War was preceded by the largest worldwide non-violent protests in history and the war happened anyway.

So you're saying that Gandhi accomplished nothing but leading the most significant and largest non-violent struggle in all of history? To each their own I suppose.

He just didn't sit with placards, he refused to co-operate with the British establishment, and when millions followed him, they couldn't just arrest them all. He got India independence through a non-violent struggle, the basis of which lied in subjugating the British trade and administration.

They could arrest Gandhi and Congress leaders all they wanted to, but the movement they inspired couldn't be stopped.

This might just be the American train of thought, but you're wrong here. When millions follow you, and refuse to cooperate, the ruling class will suffer, because they're dependent on you for power. Checkmate.
