Probably at least try lol. But I’m not sure we’ll have quite the political monopoly the boomers did as we’re proportionately smaller and also I think more diverse, so we have less of a singular vision for politics.

Culturally irrelevant in terms of what? I think we’ll be culturally relevant until we die, just like previous generations. For example, despite their age, boomers have dominated politics for almost my entire life.

Loud cars. So fucking lame.

Probably didn’t develop fully yet. Eggplants are picked before they fully ripen. They could also be aborted seeds that will never grow too.

Interesting. It always amazes me that all across the world politicians lie, victimize, and manipulate their people, and we can all see it in other countries. Yet in every country, so many people think “but not our leaders, they are different, they are better!” It’s quite sad.

We should never respect those who enforce that respect through violence.

Is it respect or fear? To me those are different.

Why are you being so hostile?

I think maybe it would have been clearer to just ask this question directly and openly. The way you phrased it is the way a lot of bigots do to try to start trouble.

You don’t know what a woman is? Or is this some kind of attempt at trolling?

Unfortunately it is niche right now in the fediverse based on the stats. That could change but probably requires a different approach to achieve.

I’m amazed that anyone would think this isn’t real. It’s so incredibly obvious to me, even in myself though I try to work against it.

Very clearly no.

One of the nice things about getting older is that you eventually realize people like this are pathetic and it’s actually you who should be looking down on them, and not vice-versa. But I don’t think I had figured that out at 22 yet either :)

Because the economic conditions of the modern world allow for tyranny and the people haven’t figured out that we need to unite and overthrow the tyrants to build a better society.

Maybe pixelfed? Never used it but I think it’s more or less designed for this purpose, and it’s on the fediverse.

But that never happened. We never decided that. No one even asked me. Again, I never opted in and there’s no realistic way to opt out. I’m far more afraid of the state than I am from my neighbors, and if I had a real choice, I would opt out immediately.

I think there can sometimes be tension between these two ideals, as with any two disparate goals but I think they are often more aligned than people think. Freedom from terror and violence is an important freedom as well.

Social contract theory is statist propaganda. Even before I knew anything about politics or political theory I was so confused by this idea.

It’s just there to create an illusion of consent for state oppression. Even though there’s no realistic way to opt out, and we never even decided to opt in in the first place.

What kind of crazy contract is that?

People seem upset about this. I’m over here wondering wtf is an echo?

This is just not in any way accurate. Free speech means the government cannot penalize anyone for speech with specific narrow exceptions. Deporting them for such speech is obviously penalizing them. Laws or no, this is unconstitutional.

All means all, it’s not meant to be curated.

That said, it sounds like you are suggesting more of another sorting algorithm. Could be a neat idea.
