Almost like when a platform is developed by an open an actual communist and all the people jumping reddit’s ship are leftism braindeaders, the hivemind keeps rolling
Making fun of rural/suburban cavemen who have forgotten or decided not to know how to live in society is universal humor for anyone that isn’t choking on their own drool as they rush to vote against themselves in order to “own” some other group.
The alternative is to try to explain to these tryhard intellectuals why safe and healthy communities are a good thing but that’s just a waste of everyone’s time.
The amusement comes from the special boy alpha males who don’t need no gubmint telling me that “socialism” will ruin America while I’m surrounded by “socialism” here in Italy with safe walkable communities not full of guns, frequent transit and available health care.
American conservatives and their fantasies are longer my problem though so it’s pretty satisfying to watch the intellectuals work so very hard to make sure the streets are full of homeless people, guns and the mentally ill who can’t afford healthcare. Keep telling the rest of the world how it’s impossible to do the things they’ve had for decades 🙄🤣
Bro right now, Italians have stagnant wages since the 80s, terrible real estate, no minimum wages and increasing costs of living and necessities. For young people, it is even worse, so many young Italians are leaving the country, a bleeding of fresh blood that is not going to be replaced in any way. Studies have shown Italy is going towards a demographic crisis because young people cannot afford to raise a family, so they either leave or stay with very low wages.
Not sure what any of that has to do with my post…?
Italy is still much safer, cleaner and friendlier than anywhere I saw in 8 years of living in DC, despite all the problems you just mentioned. Seems like strong social safety nets (sOcIaLiSm in the American dialect) are keeping people who are struggling from becoming desperate enough to turn to crime.
Ok, I understand the “Lemmy is left biased” posts now. 😆

You sound like the exact type of tryhard intellectual you seemed concerned with but hey, internal biases are a hell of a drug
