Is Lemmy a Leftist Circle Jerk?
I don't see how fediverse is responsible for solving echo chambers. I would say it's on the individual to explore new ideas and to challenge everything.
Like an instance can just be 4chan offshoot that isn't federated and complete echo chamber and hypothetically be the biggest instance. I would want any government telling them to federate, I wouldn't want them to be forced to to federate, I'm perfectly fine with them having their party and inviting whoever they want, I can go somewhere else.
Plus fediverse is about giving control of social media to individuals
Is Lemmy a Leftist Circle Jerk?
Circle jerks are only bad if they're right Wing. Leftist circle jerks are fine
Yeah messed me up that queue, que, and cue sound the same in English. Que was close enough to cue anyway
Lol what are word what does "caller" mean
Unmarked ICE Vehicle Burning.
Can't find any new stories there is one 11 months ago that an ice vehicles was on fire but no one claiming it was arson
Why is it stressful to call into a show?
I tried to call into the majority report two days ago, and I just get some serious stage fright, didn't help that a national news story broke. I was stressing waiting for que to call in, calling in and getting voicemail, then getting put on hold. Like it was weird that I was high strung to the point where it was hard to form words.
I might try again after things calm down I'm America
I don't have the mindset that people disagree with socialism but I see socialism as copying what the rich do "seizing the means of production"
Reminds me of when I talked to the right wing German guy about their post. Like I thought they were gonna be more articulate about their position
I remember encountered an IDF soldier online and attacked both him and his message, openly said he wasn't convincing, I believe whistleblowers over him, and that I actually hated him.
kind of weird that they call a 12 year old a seducer.
Reminds me of how a great Dane would bark at me for punching a punching bag. Bruh it's not alive , I'm not hurting it.
Damn that's one scary toad-rrorist
Violence seems to get the working class a lot of advantages
That's cool, but you're still commanded to hate in the biblical sense by jesus what you changes but you still have to do it.
You can look at Jesus telling you to both sell and/or give up everything as a test, but you still gotta do it. Like you can say a litteral test to get a certificate is there to test your aptitude but you still gotta pass the test.
I also had a revelation that ownership is a time/culture dependant and God's deciding after people been owning things for thousands of years at that point to say "give up everything"
Did anyone think this wasn't a distraction from the Epstien files
I figured someone would. I was thinking of using a stone to break a nut or stand up a pot. If you leave the stone were you found it, it's not like you own the stone.
But then we're does it go from using something to owning something. Seems ownership would be more of a legal distinction or ownership is emotional attachment
Ikr. Like offer the other cheek wasn't meant to show you passivism but like this way to get people you don't like to use a other hand in a taboo way. I guess I have to assume it's more correct interpretation since it's relevant for that culture.
At this point Jesus can "you have to do X" and it get interpreted as a point for how you should live and think.
I was also thinking that followers must have been super poor. Since massage of give up everything and you'll be rewarded would resonated to literal beggars or people who had nothing. Comes off as high yield return for the poor
Jesus kinda is weirdly enough. Like give up everything kinda explicit and the reward in heaven implies that however you live in this life will only be temporary suffering. So you could die in a ditch and life again in heaven. Heaven and God is what really matters.
But it's weird like you can use things without owning them. Like they could give the shirt off their own back to someone that needs it just like they could presumably get it and I wouldn't consider them owning the shirt just using it. Same goes for the phone too.
I'm not complaining about them having anything. It's just odd that Jesus says give up everything but there work arounds because you can still use things without owning them
He was since money and clothes are included in everything
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Jesus being more explicit to his disciples about selling everything.
Like these are explicit things Jesus is requiring people to do. It's not a metaphor to hate your family and your own life. Your actually supposed to do it.
If I learned I would forget over time
Have you met a Christian that sold/gave up everything they owned?
Im still a salty biznatch about a street preacher saying they didn't have to sell everything they down because Jesus said to one disciple and in that context yeah Jesus said it to that disciple.
Turns out that Jesus did say that you have to give up everything luke 14:25-33
The Cost of Discipleship (Matthew 8:18–22; Luke 9:57–62; John 6:59–66)
Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them, 26“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple. 27And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it? 29Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
Or what king on his wa
