This infighting is very dissapointing and counterproductive.

I don’t really understand why we can’t give each other a little bit of grace. It sounds like everyone believes the “other side” is downright evil which begs the question what are we even fighting for ?

There is no perfect not even a good choice to make here. On the one hand republicans are extremly dangerous and everything they fuck up can’t be easily repaired, you still suffer from the policychoices under reagan but on the other hand democrats are very complicit but they at least give room for positive development.

I can’t be mad at people not feeling great about electing someone that supports israel but Palestians are probably worse off now than they would be under kamala but than again how can we expect the party to change when they get votes simply for being not as bad.

We should focus on the real problem which is a antidemocratic voting system. You can be as mad as you want about your countrymen and the democratic party but as long as you don’t have a real choice and megadonors the problems will remain, the most important part is to rally as many people as you can behind a shared believe not necessarily convince them to share all of yours.

I almost never see discussions about how to actually make your country a democracy, only infighting. In theory it would be relativly simple to impliment these changes, practically it is obviously complicated and an uphill battle but it is certainly more practical and unifying than shitting on each other.

Don’t you think the pay is comparable enough because they kinda have to match the unionionized shops?

There is no evidence. What we know is that generally, throwing money at poor people will have positive effects, thats it.

We have no idea how prices will react, we have no idea how culture around work might change when people grow up with such a system, we have no idea how employment will change and we have no idea what people will actually use their freedom for.

I am personally in favor of some kind of UBI but not because i believe without a doubt in its positive effects but i believe that the world belongs to all of us and simply being born entitles you to parts of the “fruits of the land” and if UBI really doesn’t work out i guess we might just deserve our fate.

Bei einer Rave Party würde ein Rechter der die “linken gutmenschen” nicht mag genausogut passen.

Rechte Gewalt schaut aber sehr oft anders aus und findet viel weniger mediale beachtung. Rechte und Islamisten sind sich zwar sehr ähnlich aber aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten beider Gruppen machen sie sich schlichtweg anders bemerkbar.

Wir sollten alle keine voreiligen Schlüsse ziehen.

I don’t really see a problem with most of it, 2fa is obviously a good thing and necessary bc people just don’t use strong enough passwords.

Being able to do government stuff at my own home is great too.

Most of these things are for convinience.

I see a problem if there is no alternative way to pay for things in cash.

Surveillance is a different beast alltogether but this comes down to legislation. Countries managed to cut down freedom without any mobile phones at all. This is what we need to focus on not on mildly annoying tech.
