You’re telling me to kill myself? And you’re getting upvotes? Lemmy has changed. Then again, Lemmy has always had a hard-on for politicians. Enjoy the circlejerk.

That’s the silliest thing I’ve heard in a while

I think the rates of ethical people across the two are the same. Just have to relate the politicians to the same ranking as a CEO/board member.

Why aren’t we seeing this type of energy towards politicians? They’re the ones making the laws that companies exploit.

Too many

It’s symbiotic

The millionaires/billionaires are just sharks in the ocean of capitalism and politicians nurture the conditions to make it possible for them to eat. Unfortunately, politicians feed off of the sharks in true capitalist fashion. Why are lawmakers allowed to trade stocks?

Politicians are the only ones that can really make change outside of driving sharks to extinction.

Who is Guy Fawkes?…

I keep thinking I have some bitcoin sitting on my dad’s old laptop somewhere

Majority of Lemmy would not give money to homeless people. That’s crazy. No empathy for the poor.

Being poor isn’t hot right now. Only Gaza, trans and abortions.

My opinion is no. They can then use it to buy drugs or alcohol, which is unfortunately likely.

Maybe you could donate to some homeless shelter?
Or maybe, you could try asking if you could buy them some food instead.

EDIT: this was a test. This comment is a copy of an original comment on this post. This copy received 90% downvotes while the original received 36% downvotes. This is evidence that the majority of Lemmy would not give money to help a homeless person despite being an ultra liberal (democrat, not leftist) social media platform. Hmm…

wtf?!? Is this Lemmy?? How did this comment get more likes than dislikes? I’m gonna post the same thing and see what happens.

Yeah other harsh penalties and strict laws. US death penalty is not a fair comparison because it varies state to state as do gun laws.

That’s a nice theory, but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be the case here. Their violent crime rates are wayyyy below most other countries. The numbers speak for themselves. I’m not supporting execution, just saying that whatever they’re doing is working.

What do you mean? Some of the lowest crime rates in the world.

This makes sense. Somebody else gotta do it. Bad optics.

They know how to stop crime

Edit: you may not like the method but it’s seemingly way more effective than many other developed countries. Of course lots of factors at play here.

I was thinking when cell phones first became foldable

I was confused but In the article it says foldable smartphone.

Haha oh man that sounds infuriating. Of course it could be worse, but def could be better
