    I honestly don’t know why you’re getting down voted. You’re basically just saying anyone born between a certain number of years should’ve seen the writing on the wall. And anyone born after a certain year should’ve seen and there’s really no excuse to not have seen the writing on the wall. You’re basically just saying don’t rely on the government to have that money because the government isn’t going to. Again I’m not sure why you’re getting down voted.

      Because it sounds like I’m a stupid fucking Republican saying the bootstrap bullshit. Everything has to be pigeonholed into either Republican or Democrat these days, and I live in the middle as a (GASP!!!) centrist…

      If what I say is Republican sounding, I must be a racist rednecky dude that drives a big ass diesel pickup and lemmy downvotes because lemmy is left biased AF, and if what I say sounds lefty, then I probably hate America and will vote for any sack of shit with a D next to it, and lemmy upvotes…

      Reality is I kinda just hate everybody these days, because absolutely nobody gives a flying fuck about anybody except their tribe members…

      Lemme guess, you’re not in the US? Live in one of those other places where it’s still socially acceptable to speak neutrally?

      Don’t sweat them votes man, I don’t ;) you read it exactly the way I meant it.

        Dude u obviously have no clue what an Overton window is.
        People say you probably sound Republican because you are by your own definition. “Centrist” in America is right wing right leaning.

        You’re the last person to give advice on anything. You don’t even know what you are on the political spectrum.

          So stop bitching and go back to fucking reddit.

          None of us think Lemmy is “cool” we just prefer not having a corporation dictate how we interact with the internet because they’re concerned about profits and an IPO.

          We like Lemmy because it’s run by volunteers who aren’t here to make money off of our data. That’s all.

          Seriously, this simple minded thoughtless bullshit belongs on reddit so fuck off back there, please.

                This is what I mean. All you’re doing is hurling insults. Maybe it is you who should return to Reddit.

                  No, I explained to you why people actually like Lemmy and pointed out why claiming “everyone thinks Lemmy is so cool” is literally a thoughtless statement.

                  I insulted you after because instead of reading that, understanding it, and digesting it, you were like “yup. just like reddit.”

                  But I mean, that’s literally what I expect from someone who can only shit out short simple statements. You can’t be fucked to actually think about anything and instead are just “Nah everyone sucks because they think it’s cool when it’s not.” which isn’t even close to a thoughtfully considered statement.

                  Sorry, not sorry. I don’t feel bad insulting people who deserve to be insulted for their abject fucking stupidity. Especially when they continue to choose to ignore the stupid shit they said, the fact that they’ve been corrected, and continue to double down like the dumb motherfucker they are.

                    First off, I have not hurled any insults towards you. But let me explain what I mean when I said, “Just like Reddit.” You pretty much are the example of Reddit’s toxicity and social media’s toxicity in general. Instead of just ignoring my original post or down-voting like a few have already you respond with straight negativity. “Stop bitching and go back to fucking reddit.” (emphasis mine) Blah blah blah. Rage rage rage. That response is what I think of when Reddit comes to mind.

                    Why are you so angry over a comment some random guy made over the internet? Actually I honestly don’t care, whether you’re having a bad day or have anger issues doesn’t matter to me.

                    Finally, you said that you explained why people like Lemmy I agree with the reason you stated, but you started with insults so fuck off.
