Holy shit the escalation on Lemmy is just insane. Where the fuck did Optional say genocide enablers are good? There’s 0 reason to make that claim. He said something mildly critical of certain streak of slacktivism on Lemmy and now he’s a genocide supporter.

Do you ever give even the slightest thought to considering if it would be a bit easier to take you seriously if you wasn’t so insanely hyperbolic all the fucking time?

Which of the systems allows for you to pursue your ideal system - an activity which you would probably add to your definition of a worthwhile life?

No, it’s not a tautology, it’s a pragmatic principle.

A tautology is a statement that’s true by definition and doesn’t add new meaning (e.g., “A circle is round”).

An ontological tautology would be:

A system that supports the kind of life one thinks is worthwhile supports the kind of life one thinks is worthwhile.

A lot of people are way older than I thought. Interesting. Thank you!

yeah people dogpile a lot. One person disagrees, very often with a snarky strawman and gets upvoted and people take that as a cue that it’s what they are supposed to think, instead of actually thinking for themselves (but they’re totes above groupthink)

I support it as well. In my country we already have ID verification that goes through banks. I can log into my healthcare system etc. by it.

Just branch out a service to social media sites that answers only one question: Is this person over 18? Yes/No.

They don’t need anything else. By extension, this also answers the question if someone is a real person. Which is another thing I think we need on social media. Yes, maintain public anonymity but there needs to be some verification that they are a real person.

(Also, Spokeo got nothing on me, wohoo)

I don’t mean harm but this reminds me of the political compass and centrists who just want to grill. Like, if this is your most controversial opinion lol

Huh

That just fucking blew my mind.

What, and give up purity testing? That would eliminate 90% of our recreational outrage and give us time and energy to actually do something. Can’t have that.
