I'd like to see fewer angry communists. Regular communists don't bother me, but don't be so aggressive about it.
Well, whenever the actions of capitalists stop affecting me and start being more escapable, that's the exact minute I'll stop being so angry. Sound like a deal?
Giving some real "live your life however you want but don't jam it down my throat" energy and that's... Nah, fam. That's not the wave.
We all have problems.
Edit to add: yelling about them on the internet doesn't do anything to solve them. Talking about it might.
Okay, do you think people have the right to get angry at problems they have in their life due to an incredibly violent and inefficient system?
Yes, there's plenty of anger all over the world. Plenty of people who have been wronged. The type of stuff I'm referring to is more like "owning a house and having people pay you money so they can live there is criminal", but in an "all caps" sort of tone. That sort of thing.
Feel free to talk about how rent is too high, we need legislation, etc. etc., but if you go straight to some sort of off-the-wall ideology and you're very loud about it without discussing the nuances, my preference would be for the culture of Lemmy to not be that.
The system that makes housing operate that way is criminal. Housing should not be a commodity
Honestly in most discussions I find the communists to be the more nuanced of the bunch.
Well, it's a nice strawman you erected to put on a piñata show for the class. Let's hear what you think is "some sort of off-the-wall ideology"; 'cause at this point, I'd bet my left eye you're about to say some shit that eventually terminates at "I'm okay with the global north murdering anyone they need to to maintain hegemony".
