do you think the only way it can be non eugenics based is if they shared those same sentiments to every country in every language in equal proportion?

yes

edit: and the sentiment needs to be conveyed in a way that is equally weighted culturally and linguistically. which is to say there is no method, to my way of thinking, to advocate for antinatalism that is not eugenics.

the suggestion that you are a best in class mental gymnast isn’t a thought terminating cliche

it is, and saying it isn't doesn't change that.

by your rationale there would be no way to mention any activity without it being a suggestion that all current recipients must immediately perform said activity,

they are advocating for a set of actions. not simply mentioning them.

Stating something is true with no supporting argument other than “I said so” followed by some shaky(at best) logic doesn’t leave much in the way of conversation points.

that's not what happened. what i said were all truth claims. you can decide whether i was wrong about any of them (i'm not), but no argument at all is needed.

no. i don't think that. but i think the propaganda they've produced can only have that effect.

only people who speak english can read that comment. they are only talking to english-literate people.

edit: ... english-literate people who are on lemmy.

i'm not pro-natalist, but i am anti-anti-natalist, if there is any room for that.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago

Only a small subset of people who don’t have kids are antinatalists.

i'm not talking about people who don't have kids. i'm talking about people who advocate for people not to have kids.

Environmentalism is the opposite of fascism

ecofascism is a real phenomenon. there is a cure for political illiteracy.

 

I fucked with the title a bit. What i linked to was actually a mastodon post linking to an actual thing. but in my defense, i found it because cory doctorow boosted it, so, in a way, i am providing the original source here.

please argue. please do not remove.

 

i don't know how i got linked to this channel but i kept clicking on videos because i like him and his style and his politics.

and i just gotta say

i saw some highly dunkable libs saying things like "don't link me to people who make an argument. you need to use your own words or i'm going to block you." and now i want, desparately, to link them to this video in particular.

the end bit is the best where he says (im paraphrasing) "if someone says that we can't show solidarity with palestine because then our team won't win, then you can say 'fuck your team' and just be in solidarity with oppressed people because the people saying that are dum-dum doo-doo heads" and i really felt that.

 

It's happening.

 

I use youtube across different devices with the same account. sometimes, i even use it in multiple browser profiles or apps on the same device (with the account logged in).

the ad reminder got me. it actually stopped serving any youtube video on my laptop. so i made a new profile in firefox, logged in, and it was fine. for a couple days.

so i made a new profile, logged in, and... was foiled. but not to be deterred, i did what any reasonable person would do: i sought out one of the DOZENS of alternative frontends and used youtube's recommendation algorithm on the main site to pull videos from the alternative frontend.

for one day.

today, on my laptop, with my old profile, never changing logins or browser settings, youtube started working again.

did we win?

 

don't dogpile them. i just wanted to vent.
