I wonder why religious conservatives are mostly synonymous with capitalism supporters ? I mean arent most religions inherently socialistic ? What makes conservatives support capitalism , despite not being among the rich?

Success = hard work.

Hard work = not lazy.

Not lazy = good.

Rich / successful people = good people (unless they're involved in godless entertainment, of course)

Not successful = not working hard enough.

Not working hard enough = lazy.

Lazy = bad.

Poor / unsuccessful people = bad people

They do not think hard enough to see nuance. They just don't.

An old friend of mine once ranted to me about how poor women will keep popping out babies to get free government money & food. Like.... bitch, do you know how actually difficult it is to get """free money""" from the government? Are you seriously mad that children are being fed? Do you think that poor people fund their "lavish lifestyles" off government funds? BITCH, POOR PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT!!! RICH PEOPLE DO!!!!

Does anyone else see "removed" in this comment? Is the instance editing comments to censor certain words or is it just the user?

[-] lukzak@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

The puritans at lemmy.ml censor "word-for-female-dog-beginning-with-B". All comments that you see as a member of that instance are censored before being shown to you.

Are you serious? That's actually egregious.

[-] lukzak@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah. Lookup this thread on lemmy.ml and you'll see how all the B-bombs are censored. Also, I believe that when a lemmy.ml user uses that word, it is blocked for all viewers on other instances. Because it is censored before being shared to other federated instances.

Is the entire comment removed or just certain words?

I did use the word "b×tch" in there a couple times.

[-] VulKendov@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

I don't see anything removed. All your bitches are in there, as far as I can tell.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Thank god my bitches are safe.

[-] stringere@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Hey, don't [removed] us! We're just having a bitch session. That's what you call it when discussing bitches, right?

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
