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!

If art doesn’t have a message and is ‘untitled’ in a museum. Its not art, its practice. It does not belong there.
if it bothers you, and you have to consider it for more than 10 seconds, it’s provoking and it’s art. sorry but you don’t get to be arts gatekeeper
But you can gate keep it with your arbitrary 10 second rule?
it’s not my rule, it is a standard for understanding
just look it up yourself
For my own beliefs, I think that family relationships are important. My siblings will always be my siblings, and even after arguments, we have to come together in the end. We are stronger together!
Of course, I understand some people have family who aren’t very nice. Simply being family shouldn’t be an excuse to be mean I think. I’m very lucky to have mine, they push me to work hard and help me achieve my goals!
I also believe that people of all backgrounds, cultures, etc. should have equal rights, no one group of people should have more than the other. Unfortunately, this is not the case in most places in the world. Women are still underrepresented in many fields of work, racism is still a large problem in most parts of the world, the rich get away with crimes while the less fortunate are punished hard, etc., and we should work to achieve equality for all!
I wanted to write something but let’s say basically star trek. 😂
I don’t feel like arguing so, today, I’m just here to see who worships/follows Khorne (imperialists, “might makes right/fuck you I got mine/survival of the fittest!!!” freaks), Slaanesh (druggie hedonists, sex addicts and “nothing matters but my dakis and miniatures” folks), Nurgle (lethargic nihilists who spread the “rot” and push others into the same hole) or Tzeentch (dishonest, conniving people who think they’re smarter than God, and for those reasons they probably won’t admit to it here, lol).
😁
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.
Based solely off face value of the person’s initial comment. It’s the judgeyness after ‘making the world a better place’ that I found interesting. I’d prefer someone to be neutral than someone ‘doing good for the world’ and being cunty about it lest the action and attitude cancel each other out lol
Oh it turned to shit because of you.
Guilty as charged.
“This is fine.”
And then you die.
Okiedokie. I don’t like you, if that makes you feel better. ❤️
I have learned to not care what a person thinks of me, or whether they like me or not.
I am not so sure. You spent some effort here to signal yourself.
Oh no, anonymous person over the internet doesn’t like me.
People’s religiom does not matter, only the political emanations from it (hello catholic church or Pie X brotherhood).
Capitalism was better than feudalism, does not mean it is a gool thing for humanity. Personnaly, I lean in between anarchism as an ultimate goal and communism to fight big companies before anarchism.
One value that really shapes most of my other beliefs is that my moral system should be internally consistent. It’s caused me to try to consciously rethink all of my beliefs and values, and discard or refine any that are inconsistent and add others that were missing.
I don’t really think I’ll ever get to a point of all my beliefs being conscious ones and all my values being objective, that’s not really my aim (or even realistic imo), but it’s changed a lot about how I act and view right and wrong and it’s a process I don’t plan on ever stopping.
A little bit of ‘Be Kind’ with a twist of ‘Kill billionaires’
I’m no politician. I’m just a fella. I think that beer should be cold and boots should be dusty. I think 9/11 was bad. And freedom, well, that’s just a little bit better.
Literally watched this episode of Community tonight. Perfect use of the quote :)
Be excellent to each other.
And party on, dudes.
one person’s excellent is another’s shit.
An example of this, mayhap?
Easy. In Germany being late is rude. In Argentina being on time is early, and rude. They typically don’t start things until 30-60m after the stated time.
Different cultures have different standards of time and the associated ‘correct’ behavior.
Some folks think flattery and lying are excellent, others find it rude and off-putting and prefer honesty and sincerity.
Kindness, curiosity and a firm belief in treating everyone like they are actual real human beings who can do what they want. It’s important to ask people why they do things.
Anarchist with a small ‘a’ (that is, never going to be vegan, and I’ve had a managerial position [no, I don’t think anarchism means no leaders but I do feel gross about taking part in the paramilitary office structure, and how much I loved the money and status and power]).
The controversial one is ’if you have disposable income, your day-to-day problems won’t be real problems’. Most problems are not real problems because money addresses them. Existential, emotional difficulty? Great! You can afford to go to therapy whilst still not suffering any real day to day problems because you have the money 👍.
I’m also fed up of weird consumerist attitudes around ‘if I dont get to do everything I want, I’m struggling for money 🥺 I’m poor’
That needs to go fucking yesterday.
spoken like someone who has never dealt with problems money can’t solve.
like your loved ones suffering
No, no, that would come under “real problem” because money can’t solve it.
Woah! I read tuhat part of their message as sarcasm and was surprised by the sudden change of to be… But they really meant it literally!
Therapy won’t help instanteneously. It also will alleviate the suffering, but not remove it.
it also won’t help chronic diseases or disabilities.
Again, those are real problems that money can’t solve
It’s fine to change your mind. The world is to be understood through the lens of power and money, but that doesn’t mean that you have to agree with it. Assume good intentions. We’re all hypocrites to a certain extent and it’s okay. Be kind to yourself. You’re never too old to learn. Being right all the time gets you nowhere. It takes time to get good. Adopt a thankful mindset, even if you don’t believe in a higher power. Never give up. Say ‘yes’ more often. It’s your life and you’re in the driver’s seat. Live and let live. Worry less. Kämpfen bis zum Verrecken.
I believe that men wearing shorts/trousers and women wearing skirts/dresses is abhorrent and a crime against basic logic.
Quite simply, skirts are for people with testicles. They’re kept outside the body in a special climate controlled sack that’s kept at a lower temperature than the body. Skirts and dresses allow airflow in the groin area, assisting this process.
Conversely, shorts and trousers restrict and insulate the groin, perfect for people who don’t have to worry about keeping their genitals cool.I don’t care if the hegemonic gender paradigm disagrees, it’s categorically incorrect.
Politics: practicality before ideology. My (your) favourite ideology has flaws. Policies that are effective should be enacted, policies that are ineffective should not, regardless of being left or right.
Religion: Don’t care.
To add onto this, an ideology is an ideal to be strived toward, not a goal to be jumped to.
you sure you are on lemmy? most users here seem to think an ideology is an excuse to murder others if they don’t agree.
¯_(ツ)_/¯ I don’t know about others, but that’s not how I roll.
Most people would rather cooperate & help than compete & hoard
