  • True. Also, core beliefs are all equally unbased and irrational. The desire for growing trees and saving lives is equal in this way to the desire to nuke humanity away. There’s no rational foundational ground to either of these things, we just evolved to care for ourselves and our surroundings because it ensures our survival and passage of the genes. That’s how the concept of good won, not because it’s any more rational than evil.

    Personally, my core belief is that all people are fundamentally good and should be treated equally with love, care, respect and dignity. Thereby, I adopt ideologies that promote full economic and social equality, namely socialism/communism.


  • There is an upside to the rigidity of thought that ideologies bring - a person is less likely to be confused into something batshit crazy, at least if their initial conviction ain’t that.

    Most people are not history/politics grads and their opinion can be manipulated relatively easily as they don’t have a very solid knowledge base to counter the presented evidence.

    Without ideology, we’d have people switching between socialism and fascism in no time.





  • Subsequently, I did look for activity elsewhere. While it’s not of my direct concern, I didn’t find anything special in there, too, nor the direct evidence to tie the two accounts.

    You can read that in my statement in another comment, I have tagged you.

    Case closed. You are welcome to be or not to be anywhere you like. If you think this decision is wrong, you are free to address instance admins. I’m a community moderator.

    I’ll look into the accusations made here, but in any case, it’s not in my capacity as a community mod to decide, as long as rules here in particular are not broken. I’ll escalate if I find behavior suspicious enough and leave it to @[email protected]

    On the point of ban evasion - I didn’t monitor the activity of DonaldJMusk outside lemmy.today, and within its bounds it’s all good as far as I can tell.

    For now, however, I ask you to move your debates elsewhere. This is not the right place.

    I also warn @[email protected] that your behavior breaks the community rules. There are better places to raise awareness of someone being a troll. For now I kindly ask you to halt it and never have it here again, while assuming you’re acting in good faith and respecting your effort to keep Lemmy nice.
