That is indeed a considerably worse option.

This is true. I don't know how often everyone individually posts and looks at these things. I'm just going off my scroll through the "r/all" (is it just called Lemmy everything or something?) of this site. It's like every other post and in the comments of each post are similar comments all saying variations of the same things.

Considering how Lemmy appears to have a HEAVY left wing bias I feel fairly confident saying that most of the people on this site spend too much time thinking about Trump and interacting with content around how much they hate Trump. However that is a generalization and I shouldn't be doing that.

Like most things. The extreme ends of “I’m gonna complain about him as much as I possibly can at all times”

I would agree with this if it was one person. But this is the Internet so it's a collection of everyone posting stuff. It really could be that one individual posts something about trump twice a month, but with everyone else posting at a similar rate it is "constant," but not the same person. At that point we'd need to have a Trump meeting and decide who gets to post what and when so we don't pile up too much Trump content lol

I don't feel I have been vitriolic in the comments. If it's comes across that way I do apologize.

I have already admitted in another comment that I am wasting my time trying to have discussions with people who are clearly not open to changing their minds.

Just seems like a massive waste of time and energy from so many of you. Much like this is a waste of my time.

Again it is what it is. Oh well.

Majorllama

Again there is a big difference between paying attention and making hating someone a major part of your identity which I know for a fact is true for many people who are chronically online and on the far left.

And good on you for ignoring me. As you should. Exercise free will and don't give time or energy to things or people you can't do anything about.

Why would I shout at people who aren't obsessing over a situation they can't control and letting it bleed into their daily life?

I would say the same things to any far right nutjobs that were posting how much they hated all the liberal snowflakes or Joe Biden every day, but those people don't exist on this site. So yeah its gonna appear like I'm only calling out one side of this coin because this site is almost exclusively the left side of the coin. I can't really call out people who aren't here now can I?

Majorllama

I totally see your point and I completely agree. There is no way for me to know how much each individual user on this site is posting about or interacting with "Trump bad" content. Just scrolling through the front page or whatever it's called around here it really seems like it's an obsession from multiple people. Somehow more posts about Trump than on that other site which had a comical left lean already. This site from my limited time here seems to be even farther left and almost entirely void of moderate or right leaning voices.

So you can see how I might have gotten the impression that people around here really are obsessed around hating the guy (which I feel I must remind people I do completely understand to an extent).

I saw a post from awhile back where someone asked if this site was a left wing echo chamber and if that was a good idea. The fact that any comment on that thread that was even remotely moderate was downvoted tells me that the grand majority on this site are far left and unwilling to even entertain a single thought that isn't also far left. Which is very sad. Because that's how you lose all perspective and fall into endless echo chambers.

I don't agree with many people around here but I am still very glad that I am able to have conversations with them and hear a perspective besides my own. I used to be further right on some topics, but after talking to people all along the political spectrum I found that I didn't actually agree with my old stance anymore and I changed it.

From what I understand, before the reddit exodus Lemmy was very concentrated with leftists so we have that as the starting point. Those that left reddit generally were on the left as well as they tend to be the types that have more sensitivity to corporate bullshit so "unfortunately," depending on your perspective, Lemmy will definitely be more concentrated with those on the left than elsewhere.

I think the same thing will happen or already has with Blue sky, and whatever tictoks replacement will be. It's pretty sad to see us pretty much self selecting into echo chambers, but it's our sense of morality that drives us to do it, not really a specific desire to want to be in an echo chamber. I can't stand Musk or Fuckerberg so I actively avoid their platforms, but right wingers tend to flock to places that either are openly hostile to those on the left or at least allow/incentivize hate against the left so we end up separating ourselves. I don't come to Lemmy to be away from right wing content, I do it to avoid "helping" Musk, spez, Fuckerberg.

I definitely value trying to understand opposing opinions as well which is why I never block anyone and thankfully haven't had anyone deserving of it for harassment or whatever.

People said the same thing about Clinton, Bush Jr, and Obama regarding a third 'term' and beyond. Do you recall what actually happened?

Majorllama

I respect that. I also refuse to block people even I I really don't like them. Only people who spam me or bots ever get blocked. I refuse to silence voices I disagree with because then I'm just bumbling through life completely unaware of an entire perspective which I find unhealthy. Doesn't mean I have to agree with other people's perspectives whatsoever but I am glad that I heard them.

oh man, you're really into that

do you think that Trump is more or less ethical than Clinton Bush or Obama?

Majorllama

I don't even understand what you're trying to say with that picture. I do thoroughly enjoy someone deep throating my dick. Are you offering?

[email protected]

That's a difficult one.

Clinton had a plane downed to keep testimony quiet. Bush had forewarning about 9/11 and chose not to act. He also lied about WMD to invade Iraq. He also purchased the 2000 election with the help of Daddy, Jeb, and Katherine Harris. Obama said the word 'hope' repeatedly, got elected, killed civilians with drone strikes, then accepted a Nobel Peace Prize with a straight face.

Trump is a traitor who committed treason multiple times. He is a lifelong thief, conman, manipulator, sexual assaulter, tax evader, etc.

All of them work with/for the Saudi and Israeli governments

I guess that doesn't really answer your question. I think all of them are completely devoid of ethical behavior. What do you think? Are you expecting a ranked list?

This is gross

Or just "oopsie, accidentally left a GPS locator beacon while I was on the Airforce One one day, it'd be a shame if it somehow got leaked to some Iranian general and they tracked it and shot it down ‍️"

Hitler has only got one ball,

Göring has two but very small,

Himmler is rather sim'lar,

But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.
