If we block and ban everyone that thinks differently from us, we can create a utopian paradise where everyone thinks the same. This might go on for years-decades maybe-until Elon Musk perfects his Neurolink protocol. At that point we will merge our thoughts, creating the ultimate Unity.
There will be no more hunger, no more pain. Dissent will be unthinkable. We will become…One.
I’m not sure what my argument is exactly; I looked up the definition of civilization because I was bored and was shocked when Trump’s statement made literal sense.
Civilization (noun):The stage of human social and cultural development and organization that is considered most advanced.
The definition Oxford Languages uses is:
“they equated the railroad with progress and civilization”
I hate to say it, but Trump used the correct definition of civilization in regards to his destruction of civilian infrastructure. It doesn’t imply genocide.
Let me reframe my comment. Tell me if you still think it’s trolling. Assume I’m responding to:
“Those woke people are getting what they deserve at the gas pump. They voted for Sleepy Joe Biden, they get what they deserve.”
…I’ve never met a “Woke” person in real life. I know a bunch of Democrats, but not the stereotype obsessed over on social media. It’s reminiscent of the McCarthy era and communism. Everyone talked about communists all day, every day, but they were sooo good at blending in that nobody saw them.
What does “Woke” even refer to? People who think the benefits of diversity outweigh the negatives? People who are annoyed with the people online ranting about the right to life and abortion? If this were the case, then a lot of the Republicans i know are apparently “Woke”.
…if you no longer think I’m trolling, then you just don’t agree with my original opinion.
I haven’t met many people that conform to the MAGA stereotype. It seems to mostly be used as a slur to dehumanize Republicans. I’m a centrist; I’d have made a similar argument if the majority was dehumanizing Democrats.
This is my opinion. I’m sorry if you don’t like it. Out of the hundred simple comments that were insulting Republicans, my comment was the only one that didn’t agree.
The value of social media lies is in it’s ability to change thoughts, opinions, and long-term behavior. The public underestimates how effective this technology is, especially when it comes to children. In the absence of regulations, these platforms can make people believe just about anything by exploiting perceived peer pressure.
It makes sense. I live near the border, and I’ve worked at quite a few places that used Canadian imports to make finished American products. I’m glad I found a new job since them; God knows it my ex-boss found a new supplier of steel tubing. Every car part we manufactured was a product of Canada.
I agree with you there. At the end of the day, the Democrat candidates personally benefit from conservative policies. It isn’t a well balanced two party system.
…I’m not necessarily against Trump posts, but this shit ^ is obviously marketing or propoganda. It’s bots talking to bots taking to bots. It’s dystopian as fuck. The tone is always negative, which says alot about the orginazations that propogate it.
I don’t get why nearly every post on Lemmy involves Trump. You’d think it’s democrat propoganda, but I haven’t read anything positive about the Democrats on Reddit or Lemmy in the last two years.
As long as their physical anatomy was identical to my gender of choice, yes.
