That’s just objectively untrue. Some might have, sure, but many firms joined the fight immediately. Don’t suggest nobody else came to their aid when that is just not the case.

There is no generation war. There is a class war though, and this guy is not on our side.

I think that is an interesting thought. But it’s not necessary to be a repost to be a meme. The propagation happens not only from the reposting, but the voting. It’s more likely to be viewed more if it’s up voted by many. The theme itself can be Dawkins’ meme without being copied verbatim via reposting.

Ancient people used lead dishware for millenia. I honestly don’t think any modern lead poisoning is new or worse than it has been in most of the world. Id buy it if lead poisoning for the common person was more likely now, but there is no chance it is more severe with all of the regulations most of the world has today.

Yes, perhaps global food scarcity is less manufactured than I made it out to be. I agree with that solution, too. But the fact that people in the “richest” country in the world are dying of hunger is downright despicable, and there is no doubt that it is manufactured here in the US. We have the food and the owning class lets it rot so they can have cheaper servants.

From what I’ve come to understand, local governments are your friend. It’s the corporations running a train on them that messes up money allocation! Not to mention investors coming in and buying up swathes of land and using all of the public water for their alfalfa in the desert

I am not an expert in any relevant field, but I have thoughts. I’d love to be told I was wrong by experts.

1. Are governments actually in more disarray today than in previous periods of history? Or do they just seem that way due to the media sensationalizing the bad? Do we just not hear about wins around the world due to their inability to generate clicks and therefore conclude that the world is only horrible? I posit that we tend to overestimate the bad when compared to the good.

2. Again, not an expert, but have the richest had this much influence across history? We have never been so reliant on the goods owned by huge corporations? We (humanity) grow so much food, but let people go hungry to keep the cost of food high, because the bean counters determined it more profitable. In a post-scarcity society, we shouldn’t need to work 3 jobs or skip insulin. Scarcity is artificially baked into the economy so that the rich can exploit our labor. Late stage capitalism, basically.

I’m not new on the internet, or on forum style websites. You need to stop deflecting and examine your own thoughts and feelings or you are just going to be angry at everyone forever.

If you are constantly having your comments removed and other comments that you think are comparably bad are not being removed, leave that instance. If you are seeing it everywhere, then leave Lemmy.

You know what they say about someone who smells shit everywhere they go. If you have to ban evade on reddit and Lemmy, you just might be the problem. I opened your profile. The first and last thing I read was a suggestion that someone you were speaking to should be killed. Introspect.

I can’t tell if this is meaningless silliness or if it’s profound wisdom. All I really know is that just because my human brain can’t know which it is doesn’t mean it isn’t one or the other.

Well yeah. If people all over the world knew weeks earlier, obviously the health officials knew. But if they didn’t report it before, that doesn’t disagree with the textbook.

When is the earliest heath officials reported it though? That paragraph doesn’t disagree with your memory.

You answered it yourself. Police policy.
