I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.
Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.
The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as “we’ll just handle it”) plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.
Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
Just keep in mind most of the people repeating this stuff are teenage edgelords. Every now and then you get a true intelligent person but it’s usually just a kid going through a phase.
Almost all of it just seems like contrarian meme bullshit. The same shit that gave rise to MAGA but for lefties.
That doesn’t make sense because Lemmy’s user base is probably almost entirely 40 or older
Sauce?
I don’t think this has much to do with age. I guess it’s more because formulating actual arguments takes some effort.
I mean, from my experience their posting history almost always gives away that they’re still in high school or middle school.
