  • Hmm. Well, I can explain it to you, but I can't comprehend it for you.

    You believe that you are right, and can't, or won't consider that you could be applying an overly rigid perspective to a problem that requires a great deal of flexibility. Moreover, you seem fixated on punishing those who "break rules." That's simply not a very effective way to affect change across human society.

    Best of luck to you.

  • The "normalization of speeding" is because human beings didn't evolve to travel at the speeds available to anyone with a driver's license. In other words, you're asking for a revision of human nature, which is simply not a practical solution. What would be practical is a system of public transportation that makes individual cars moot, or at least less of an intrinsic necessity, but in the US, there are moneyed interests who will fanatically push back on any alternate options. Car makers, insurance companies, bars and restaurants, and even the "healthcare" industry all profit from people having to own a car and use said car to navigate living in this country. You'd need to provide a broad and low-cost alternative, while dismantling those entrenched interests to make a new paradigm stick.

    So, in the meantime, it sounds like your driving habits are stick-in-the-mud and you likely create impediments to the flow of traffic, as others adapt around your unwillingness to modify behaviors to the situation. The fact that you see yourself as some kind of shining example of driving purity and hope that other drivers get into an accident as some weird punitive recourse is really troubling. Maybe you should talk to a professional about your moralistic judgementalism and anger issues.

  • Nah. Drive by the flow of traffic.

    Unobservant people who are "following the rule" in dynamic situations usually create more danger than people adapting to the situation.

    Especially when they get all the way in the left lane to drive 65mph while others are passing them on the right.

  • I really enjoyed the prior Lemmy wherein people led with their expertise, or approached conversation as an opportunity to learn.

    This new paradigm of "my emotional impulse is equal to your knowledge" is definitely a decline, imo.

  • The pandemic frightened the status quo because for the first time in decades the working masses were forced to pause their grind and consider how we live. And the vast majority of people realized they absolutely hate it.

    Which is why "the money" immediately began pushing to crack the whip ASAP to get people back in line, back producing surplus value, and back focused only on the myopic necessities of now.

    The pandemic should have been a watershed moment for Labor, and maybe it was- but the Trump administration is actively imploding the economy on all sides now, so there's very little hope for economic upturn in the next few years. We are in a dark time.

  • The shift in conversations on Lemmy after people fled Reddit is so glaringly obvious.

  • The government should have been taxing the Corporations that made enormous profits from the surplus value their employees generate and then requiring said Corporations to invest annually in pensions matched to Cost-of-Living indexes.

    In the US, instead we got 401ks so the poors are required to cheer the stock market and pretend they're temporarily embarrassed Capitalists, rather than the scornful reality of being wage-slaves.
