  • I disagree they're fundamentally the same. Dems are more ambivalent about war compared to full throated support on the right (with some minor exceptions like Massie, Rand, etc.)

    Kamala Harris would not be bombing Iran right now.

    But yeah people should be doing a lot more than voting, there we agree.

  • Wow great comment. But I'd have to figure out who is going to host a local server first. I'm not super tech savvy personally, especially compared to Lemmings.

  • Isn't that what locking is for?

  • Oh wow this would be huge. The local sub is the main thing that keeps me coming back to Reddit.

    However, it probably will take some local organizing to get it to fire in each area. Getting a critical mass for these is tough by just having randomly distributed global internet users join. Even with thousands of users, the California community on Lemmy is way less active than the sub for my city on Reddit.

  • Well, I had this issue from drinking too much orange juice. I did drink it often but not an extreme amount I'd say. But even lower levels of acidity can cause your teeth to weaken over time.

  • Yeah I thought the headline was silly as well. I'm not sure what Kamala has to do with soldiers murdering people today. Maybe she normalized it with her positions and statements but she's never had particularly much influence over any US military actions, and people who voted for her had even less.

  • The quality of the food only matters because our bodies can't handle it. If we could improve our teeth (and other body parts) to be more resilient and adapted to available food resources then it wouldn't be considered poor quality anymore.

  • Acidic food can dissolve your teeth. I'm aware of the involvement of bacteria but I didn't want to go into too much detail for this one-liner. The point is our teeth are very poorly designed to stay intact in the face of the dietary environment they are used for.

  • When do we get teeth that aren't made of a substance that our food literally dissolves? Seems like a major design flaw.

  • Nah that's only for the fascists. See Alex Pretti vs Kyle Rittenhouse.

  • Honestly if world leaders would just focus on killing each other and leave the rest of us out of it that would be a large improvement.

  • "Let one in"

    What do you think I, personally, should have done to stop Trump that I did not do?

    I get you're angry but this is a braindead political analysis. The US is a highly undemocratic country. Very few people wanted this to happen.

  • I'm not defending soldiers. I do think the position that it's wrong to join or support the US military is obviously correct. But of course that doesn't change the fact that we have no direct knowledge of why people do these things on an individual basis. Since you brought it up I thought I'd point that out. But I feel like now we're arguing just to argue.

    It seemed clear to me. If that wasn't the intention then I don't know?

    I'm just really sick of all of the finger-pointing between people about very insignificant actions people did or didn't do that may or may not have led us to this moment. I'd rather talk about how we get out of it.

  • I'm just making a statement about slacktivism. I don't have a problem with criticizing American troops.

  • I mean the title is clearly directed at random American civilians, not just military folks. Although yes, they are ignorant about people who are in the military too.

  • They're in the same position of ignorance about the people they're arguing with and criticizing online as I am.

    What kind of solidarity would you like to see from me that you feel is lacking?

  • Everyone shares blame, that's just the reality, whether people want to admit it or not. It means me, yes. But it also means you.

    I don't know why no one will admit that yes, they are partially to blame. I think that IS the first step to working together. If people don't feel responsibility to act because it's someone else's responsibility, then they won't.

  • The fact that they're lecturing us from the same position lol. That's what made me want to comment in the first place.

    But it's fine, I was trying to get past that with my edit calling for everyone to work together. But I guess as usual leftists working together proves impossible. Big part of why the world is so shit.

  • What criticism? You can't even criticize me because you know nothing about me lol

    I already acknowledged Americans have a responsibility to stop this so I don't even know what your objection is.
