Canada has a lot of immgration that has brought about increasing inequality.

The only reason their society is that way is because it’s not diverse.

all the scandavaian counrties are having issues because of increasing immigration is destroying their social harmony. the natives don’t want to give the new immigrants the benefits they get, and the immigrants dont’ want to assimilate to the scandavian values/lifestyle.

None of them.

Pretty much all high quality of life countries have large economic inequality, and life is great if you’re in the top quarter of the economic strata, and everyone else is often struggling.

Also if you want to emigrate, you better have a high paying specialist career.

cars like that already exist. you can’t afford them.

I’ve been independent since 18. I don’t maintain my independence… it’s never been an option for me to be a dependent on anyone else.

what does anything i said have to do with what you said?

the fuck?

the interface. of which there are many, and many are quite poorly designed.

they need an enemy to cohere around. so leaving it open for men to comment and vilify helps them build group solidarity.

ironically i can post there and nobody calls me out. because my comments pass as a woman. i am too feminine to be a threat or something.

my experience of lemmy is groups 1 and 2 just attack and insult group 3.

at best they try to ‘educate’ you about how stupid you are for not being a communist or anarchist.

groups 1 and 2 don’t seem to have much tolerance for anyone who doesn’t believe in their ideologically rigid world view

80% of the comments i get screaming at me how i am a fascist pig are .ml users.

the major benefit is there isn’t enough of a dipshit brigade to drown out the genuine smart people who are saying insightful things… yet

but i’ve been here over a year, and the dipshit brigade is growing rapidly. soon enough they will become mods and start banning anyone who doesn’t agree with their dipshit agenda. but at least their power will be limited to only banning you on their particular instance.

reddit used to have lots of cool diverse voices, and that all ended once it became popular enough that your parents new what it was and corporations were desperate to use it to shrill and advertise.

personally i felt like anytime i sub went over 100,000 subscribers it rapidly went to shit. if it was under 100K it was usually a pretty cool place that allowed productive and interesting disagreement and various POV. then once the userbase grew the mods would always become ban happy for anyone they didn’t like who didn’t agree with their agenda/beliefs, and would hypocritically start lecturing users on tolerance and diversity and non abusive behaviour, while banning people over personal disagreements they had with users. i remember i once got banned in cycling subreddit because is said I thought Doritos were gross and the mod basically told me to go f myself for not like the same snack food as he did. lol

people like that are everywhere. they are probably your friends and neighbors.

most of my girlfriends who claim to be liberal progressives were rabidly racist or anti-lgbt. because i was their boyfriend they could ‘tell me how they really felt’ while they lied through their teeth in public to other people. the hypocracy was mind-blowing, but it’s incredibly common for people to do this.

why would that bother you? i see shit and piss on a daily basis on my subway. it’s not a big deal.

does seeing rats/pigeons on the subway also offend you?
