Rules:

  1. Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

  2. No racism or bigotry.

  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  4. Post titles should be the same as the article title.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.

I’m so sick of humanity.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

it’s not all of humanity doing this, it’s fascists. don’t use the rise of fascism to hate all of humanity, just fight it.

edit: “all of”

But fascists are a part of humanity, I don’t get this?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

no. fascists choose to act inhumanely towards others while wanting the benefits of humanity for themselves.

Centralized systems lend themselves to fascism, and our species is undergoing it's most all encompassing centralization ever.

It's like if you hate mushrooms. You don't say that you hate all food, just mushrooms.

inhumanity is guaranteed when a right-wing political party forms the government.

From the article "Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, made anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric a cornerstone of her campaign for office. She opposes allowing same-sex couples to adopt as well as marriage quality, calling civil union “good enough” for LGBTQ+ couples."

It’s hard to fathom how the people who enact these laws can fall asleep and feel like they’re doing something positive for the world.
