Still got nothing. You only have fear. You sound like those parents in the 1980’s screaming about the devil when a kid dared to listen to Twisted Sister.
“Immigrants should be forced guided into places that us superior white people, who are above what I deem menial work, are needed born-in-country people struggle to live in.”
Adding onto the other poster’s comment, another reason is because the US will never pour unlimited money and resources into these people making sure they do.
Europe didn’t pull itself up by its own bootstraps after WWII.
How am I being propagandized by TikTok?
Why does China having every single last drop of my information (they don’t even, barely a sliver) matter?
You need to back up what you say. Your Western brainwashed idea of common sense and obvious xenophobia/racism ain’t an objective truth in the world.
Everyone under 40 can do this with their eyes closed, more so than all the new touch screen bullshit modern cars have these days to put on the heat.
Just because you’re physically holding a phone doesn’t mean you’re even close to being as distracted as texting.
Can you explain how? All I see are lesbians and black people.
And why does China spying on me matter? It’s better than the West, no?
“We’re just looking out for the best interest of our children!”
A bunch of 35-45 year old Lemmy users bashing something they don’t use but something the kids do. Just like their boomer and silent gen parents.
You guys fucking suck. I’d say I hope you all have sad, pathetic lives, but I know you all already do.
Even excusing the policy, the design is actually pretty shit though. We’re all just used to it so it feels default and normal.
It’s like you heard “don’t use your phone when driving” on the news one day and thought “okay, that’s because the act of physically holding a phone means you’re driving unsafely, understood newsperson!”
This is absolutely nothing like texting or fucking around on instagram. Stop trying conflate doing something that takes literally no braincells and is no more distracting than anything else you do in the car to being completely distracted and non-functional while texting, browsing the web, or watching TikTok videos.
Half of Republicans think Michelle Obama is trans. It’s a race thing.
There are mandated back doors in most message apps.
Source?
I don’t see this happening. Apple to/from Android are the only texts that the government can easily snoop on.
Link me. You’re all saying they exist. I’m seeing nothing.
Antinatalists constantly tell people to kill their offspring.
Some do, sure, but that’s what what antinatalism is. This is like saying “vegans constantly tell meat eaters to kill themselves.” Yes, some do, but the point of veganism isn’t the death of meat eaters.
I argue on the same level as antinatalists.
No, you argue on your deranged level by justifying it with your antinatalist boogey man. You’re like those YouTube conservatives who put up a picture of a blue haired teenager on screen and saying “this is who the liberals are.”
If the cause is to end the suffering that humankind causes then there is only one solution.
This is like saying the way to end violence done in the name of religion is to kill off all religious people. There’s more that goes into getting to an end solution than just immediately jumping to it. And it also seems like you think antinatalists entire existence is about making antinatalism, like there’s nothing else besides this.
If my notions of the world are wrong, and humankind really is only a burden, then youre indirectly also calling for genocide.
You seem to not know what the word “natalism” means. It’s about bring people into the world. It has nothing to do with people who are already living.
And killing off all living people isn’t a genocide. It’s “speciocide.” Completely different things. Comparing antinatalists with people who commit genocides is unbelievably unhinged, but I should have seen it coming from someone like you.
You think that isn’t fucked up?
The only thing I think is fucked up in this discussion is people who only believe in antinatalism-lite for eugenic reasons and, of course, you.
You straw man the position and say following the conclusion of the straw man, humanity must end based on their logic.
How isn’t having kids selfish? You’re not having a child for this child’s sake. You’re having the child for your sake.
Do people think they’re funny and/or smart leaving comments like this? Literally anytime someone questions something, there’s this comment.
So if you were truly commited to your cause and you wanted your bloodline to die with you, then you could also [i do not condone selfharm, this is purely for argumentation].
I don’t have a cause. You’re putting words into my mouth because you don’t know how to argue in good faith.
You’re literally telling me to kill myself because you’re personally offended someone dare challenge your preconceived notions of the world. You’re a truly fucked up individual. I pray you don’t have or ever have any dependents. You’re a danger to society.
I think you might be glamorizing it a bit. Talking about politics was until “recently” considered very rude and taboo. There’s been a big culture shift in talking about politics in the past maybe 15-20 years or so. I don’t have any hard data and this is just my view, but I think a major turning point was when a lot of the country realized how fucked up the wars in the Middle East were. This put people squarely into two pretty emotional camps, pro-war and anti-war. Everyone* had an opinion. Everyone* was open about sharing that opinion. Over those few years 2003-2008 was probably the biggest shift in openly talking about politics among regular people. And since being open about politics was now in, here came the wave of loud and proud racism from “centrists” and conservatives once Obama was elected and it hasn’t died down since.
So, yeah, it’s real easy for discussions to get “hot” when one side is openly calling for all the -isms in the book and people on the other side finally realizing what’s happening.
I said parents are selfish for having kids. You can try to downplay it all you want, but you don’t have a kid for this future magical mystical kid. You have a kid for your own wants and needs over everything else. Just because having kids is an accepted action in society doesn’t make it not selfish. And since you think of “selfishness” as a bad thing, this makes your brain scramble and your cognitive dissonance go into overdrive causing you to come up with completely inept retorts like I’m “selfish” for simply existing and using resources that the Earth clearly has as I’m using them.
Just because you can change the temperature in your car from cold to warmer doesn’t mean you should either, but it’s a risk we, for some reason, think is reasonable. Not because it’s not potentially harmful, but because this one person should get a tiny bit warmer even if that means running over a bunch of school children. Why?
You could make the case that what OP is doing is far more beneficial to society, bringing attention to people not using their headlights in the rain with a very clear example showing its effects. This could be spread to thousands or even millions of people to make them realize how dangerous this is. This could potentially save tons of lives.
