  • its not like we karma farm on lemmy

    that’s exactly what the comment i’m responding to is doing. it contributes nothing and serves only to inflate the poster’s ego and piggyback on upvotes on the comment it’s responding to. admittedly that works a lot less well when it’s not on a platform that artificially inflates votes on frontpage content.

    no one knows if its just someone trying to try out online communication for the first time.

    if they’re new to it, all the better they be pushed into good habits out of the gate and not be rewarded for shoveling slop onto everyone’s plates

    “underrated comment” “came here to post this” “so much this” i swear to fuck if we let this community turn into reddit 2.0 with trite nonsense indistinguishable from bot posts spammed all over every comment section then i will never forgive you motherfuckers who let it happen by trying so hard to be nice.













  • i fundamentally agree with you. i think it depends on how loosely you define ‘direct’. class struggle has its fingers in many pies including

    • marketing saturation / materialism
    • mental health availability
    • quality of education
    • overall day-to-day stress levels

    all of which are at odds with encouraging a more empathetic, happy, and healthy population of men. people who are angry and fearful and deprived are easier to control and sell products to than people who are kind and understanding and satisfied. a higher quality of life breeds a higher quality of people and interpersonal interactions.

    there is only one truth, and it is that there is no gender war, only misdirection from class warfare that has monetized and monopolized even our interpersonal, romantic, and sexual connection.

    when people don’t have problems, you can’t sell them solutions.
