Pretty poor article. On the assertion the title uses, there is no references just authors opinion.

Immigration is beneficial in many cases but you won't see them in this vague article mostly about public opinion.

There are many Lemmy servers. If the largest isn't performing. Try another. lemm.ee is great

I think unfortunately the one theme we are missing and the one most important is solidarity.

In my experience, everyone is focussed on their community and furthering their cause. Rightly so in many cases.

One of the starkest I always felt was when talking about men, children and family courts. When I discuss this online, and even occasionally IRL with feminists. The conversation usually is one of acknowledgement of a problem followed by a cold "we'll support that when we get the things we need". It's a cold brutal unsympathetic view that doesn't help that feeling of isolation and hardens that "us vs them" division. Many feminists don't see that the division sewn is intentional, to stop us uniting and fighting for the rights of the working class. Be it trans rights, gay rights, women's rights, freedom from racial discrimination and men's rights. They are human rights. We have to stand shoulder to shoulder and make our voice heard in support. We also have to hope that folks from other groups will support us.

There is nothing more isolating than fighting in the corners of others and then when the time comes get a cold rejection when they come for you. It pushes folk to these liars and snake oil salesmen from the right. We need to remove that oxygen from the fire so those bigoted views can wither and die. Right now, we're losing that battle. DEI initiatives are being rolled back. Under the guise of fighting positive discrimination, they take more. The destroy awareness of bias, fair selection processes and opportunities for all.

I fear that the true strength of men fighting for fairness is you need to fight for others, extend the olive branch of friendship and then hope when we fight some will join us even if at times it feels like we will fight alone.

I've lost bigoted anti-trans friends who've swallowed the snake oil but to some, I'll always be seen as a part of the patriarchy, purely because of my gender. So will our sons. I hope they don't have the same experience of where they cross from innocent child to evil propagator of the patriarchy despite doing nothing wrong other than being born male and becoming an adult.

Maybe mandatory return to office mandates is the solution to this... /s

I thought it was proposes by the Liberals, not the Tories.

Social media users triggered more frequently by algorithms designed to trigger to boost engagement. Ground breaking research right here. Next piece, "water is wet".

Why oh why do they post on x only and not say threads or bluesky?

The engagement drives profit and funds Nazis.

I don't think anyone who considers their self decent should be using xitter anymore. They just normalise the acceptability.

We live in a world of fakeness, and if you're not standing out, it's probably because you're a genuine person. Your boyfriend sees that and loves you for it. The goal is to learn to see it in yourself. Forgive your mistakes, accept your flaws and love your strengths.

The online world is all smoke and mirrors. Lies without joy. Looking like perfection.

As I got older, my circles got smaller but better. I cared less about a lot of the noise. Just focussed on being the best me I can be, flaws and all. It took years to get to the point where I love and accept me. Where I forgive my mistakes and can just focus on being better in the future.

Don't be hard on yourself. You're going through a tricky time. You'll come through this. The fact you feel this shows you're not a void. You're human. You deserve love.

I don't know you, but from here I can see you're very introspective and candid. I like that.

You don't have to hide from society but you can choose when you deal with it and when you need a rest. That's cool. No one has unlimited social energy.

I agree with the start of this post, and then it got a were bit unhinged.

I'm not acting anything, I was responding to your weird post that seemed to insinuate this place was communist central and everyone here was Hamas sympathisers.

I don't know enough history to understand why Hezbollah are seen as worse than the IDF. Even when I researched, I couldn't find anywhere near the civilian body count. I thought that was the hallmark of terrorism.

You think caring about Palestinian's is a communist thing?

I'm not a communist but I say a few things loud and clear. Free Palestine. Fuck the IDF...

They bundle it in laptop purchases. M$ dominate because of the b2b stitch up.

Take direction from a board, formulate a plan, no matter how bad or wrong and be confident of it. Sounds exactly like AI.
