    Got muted/deleted from usa@lemmy.ml for not agreeing with the popular college-level narrative that 'Israel=Fascism' (I was suggesting the 'Israel shouldn't exist' approach is stupid and extreme) but mods left the other guy's totally not extremist comments up. Looked up one of the mods' history. Full of anti-west/pro-russia content....

    kinda so-so, so far. shows promise but I've also run more immediately into what could be called 'reddit rot'. For example mod behavior that resembles russian bot farms, etc.

    A drought in south america has caused out of control wildfires that dumped 210 megatons of CO2 in the atmosphere, this year alone.

    That's just from wildfires in one continent. Now add it to all the CO2 produced in one year.

    The runaway effects are becoming more evident and unfortunately people will have to finally give up on huge swaths of land or be killed. Save the planet, hang a CEO

    The plan is a Christian Caliphate. These people are terminally lazy, so it's less work to be a radical sect than it is to learn how to build a bridge, or a healthy family.

    I moved from California to Texas but only stayed 4 months. Texas isn't much cheaper, and everyone was politics-obsessed.

    No, again, both sides are not the same because that, 'regardless of reality.' is not the same for both. Democrats aren't aborting live babies. That is made up. Trump separated children from their families at the border and killed them. That is a fact.

    The reason both sides are not the same is easy just follow the money. Who owns what and who do they support, both here and abroad?

    I'm sorry but this false equivalence is BS. Conservatives are eating propaganda happily and there is definitely liberal propaganda. But nobody is making up the awful things conservatives are embracing in vast majorities worldwide. You don't need to make anything up to find awful things in the right, the way the right is making things up about liberals.

    'speech' is just what modern king wannabes use to claim they are above anyone else, including a sovereign state's laws. People like Elon, Trump, Putin all want to be above any law or form of responsibility.

    25 years of organized propaganda (fox news, talk radio, etc.). I live amongst Trump supporters, they truly believe prices will come down and they will make more money.

    ‘We should have better answers by now’: climate scientists baffled by unexpected pace of heating

    I don't know exactly what to call it and I don't want to sound like my agenda is just anti-capitalism. For a brief, 250yr period, humanity (not all, but enough of) valued science and reasoned law as the highest, most advanced expressions of our civilization. The enlightenment age brought about modernity as we know it based on science and liberal law (no kings above the law). Now we've devolved back to every nation basically establishing new oligarchich aristocracies no law can touch (the historic normal), and it's definitely too late to correct course. No untouchable nobilities or kings will save this realm. So yeah, the great filter in my view is about letting elites be accountable to no one, with no interest other than accretion, rule things into the ground. And yeah that's the broad gist of my point about a pretty broad theory. Most think the great filter as an asteroid or nuke. For me it's runaway elitism that probably ends most civilizations which is why there's no one out there.

    I believe a mix of runaway elitism + ecological devastation is the Great Filter. We're at our great filter and definitely will not overcome considering the galactic evidence.

    So much for the middle class. Almost like it was dismantled to favor the rich and surprisingly, "american greatness" started suffering.
