Or they shouldn’t be indoctrinated at all but just nurtured and taught? I mean, I get both your positions but we have to face the fact that religions ask their followers blind devotion to their principles without providing proof or logical reasoning, while schools, families and societies usually are able to explain the reasons why certain things are done in certain ways (usually for the common good).

Why should we keep on sending kids to education camps like after school christian classes? Here in Italy we have loads of pupils being taught christianity because “everybody goes to catechismo” (n.b. catechismo Is the name given to these education classes where you are taught how christianity is the only true religion and everybody else is wrong about their gods and beliefs), it should be high time that these would be eliminated in favour of a more general education about religions at 360°. Children should be taught about christianity, islam, buddhismo, zoroastrismo, paganism and all belief systems to understand why they exist and which role they occupy in our lives. This or we can continue with the standard indoctrination because removing it would be harmful against the indoctrination itself as you messages suggest

The 5th point is the reason why you should be happy with yourself before embarking on a relationship with another person. Relationships are not the panacea people paint them to be, as all other human endeavours they require work, maintenance and commitment to be healthy and stable. And these can be provided once you can mainly focus on the relationship itself rather than on yourself.

Please note that this doesn’t mean that you’ll have to cancel all the work you do on yourself while being in a relationship, it just means that your self-work has become such a standard that you don’t even have to think about what you have to do to be happy by yourself, you know yourself so well that you do what is needed as if it was a second nature.

Also, avoid thinking about relationships as in your point 4 of the con-list: comparing instinctual behaviour acted by animals with reasoned choices performed by humans is belittling of our actions and an excuse to justify our worst behaviours. We are not (entirely) animals and we shouldn’t use them as a ruler to assess what is right and wrong in our day to day activities.

Best of luck for your future

I personally like the content posted by cm0002 and I’d like for him or her to go on with his or her work as he or she has been doing so far.

This makes us 1 to 1 on how he or she should go on with his presence on Lemmy.

Now, why your opinion should count more than mine?

Just block what you don’t want to see and move forward, you made your point clear and I think we explain to you we don’t give a flying fuck about your opinion, as I normally do with all opinions of strangers on the internet. Select the content you can access to and you’ll see your life improve ;)

Coward as a real nazi I see. Oh well, keep thinking the world thinks a certain way while it does the complete opposite, it will surely help with your life.

Then go to your local supermarket or jump onto a bus and do the Elon salute! He also said it was just an Elon salute, what are you afraid of??? Didn’t you think the world has accepted Elon’s way already?? Weren’t we the ones detached from reality and unable to understand how the world work since Trump won the election?

Then go out of your basement in the real world and prove me wrong, do the Elon salute!!!

These people have completely lost their compass and the truth of politics. Nazis and fascists are enemy, free speech means no censure ever, calling someone a slur shouldn’t be punished… Their beliefs are completely unhinged or detached from reality and then they ask themselves why people are not engaging in discussions with them.

Hint: you’re brainwashed scum who nobody wants to touch even with a 12 feet pole. Change your minds and you’ll see there are many people discussing the differences in their opinion on Lemmy, the only requirement is to have a normal view of history and society

He’s too busy sucking Elon’s cock while fondling Trump’s balls. One can only please so many men at one time; luckily I might add, otherwise this poor man would be surrounded by business owners and technocrats like a wounded seal in a shiver of sharks

Lmao, go make the Elon salute at your work next Monday and see how the world feels about you and your kind. If you’re lucky you could get only spitted at, if you’re less lucky you might need a good rhinoplasty.

Facists and nazists will always be despised by good people, there’s no coming back for you brown (like the shit you are) shirts after last century

What, are you scared snowflake? The big bad socialists have hurt you? Defending a conspiracy theorist who cannot defend his stance on vaccine and drugs himself is too difficult of a task for a smooth brain creature such as yourself?

Please don’t cry, conservatives should be mainly men never doubting their ignorance and capability to ignore any point contrary to their beliefs.

Thank you for your opinion, you can now disappear and never come back leaving us losers alone and ridding us of your presence

I’m not whining, I’m shitting on it

Sorry not sorry, if I see a shit opinion I’ll shit on said opinion.

Don’t like it? Don’t post shit opinions and memes!

These kind of superficial and unfunny memes can only be posted by a brainless human.

Oh, wait, I’m on a conservative instance. Checks out

I love how “get back to Reddit” is being used by both 4chan and the fediverse as an insult to lukewarm centrist-fascists who are too uneducated and/or ignorant to take a position on basic principles. Keep discussing with both sides guys, we’ll be shitting on you on both sides

Much better to have a corrupt, unelected, ketamine-fueled, egocentric oligarch in their place!! Surely he won’t use the power received in nefarious ways damaging for everyone.

Top-notch conservative “reasoning” in this meme

Italian here. After the second world war, with a tired and mostly reformed population, Italy was poised to become a modern country capable of sitting at the same table of the G7 nations. For 20 years we enjoyed a level of growth which was possible only thanks to the reconstruction required to recover from the wounds of the war. Inthat same timeframe a centrist political force (DC or Democrazia Cristiana [Christian Democracy in English]) would take control of our institutions promising a moderate model fo governance fat away from both the right and the left extremes. They effectively worked to keep the status quo fixed at the beginning of the '900, having the populace split between the ruling class (those who had the money and the means to have their son’s complete their course of study in universities) and the working class (those who could feed their families and provide them with a roof over their heads). The only incremental improvement the latter could taste was “La dolce vita” (the sweet life), a concept where Italians were able to have a 3 weeks vacation period during summer and the money allowance to be able to buy leisure goods such as refrigerators, TVs and cars.

Fast forward a couple of decades and Italians found themselves stunlocked in a cage, unable to be heard by the politics and asking for a different kind of freedom. We were requesting a social improvement by receiving the right to divorce, to abort and to arrange unions on our workplaces. All rights which were against the status quo and therefore ignored by the (very Christian) ruling party. Give the situation another 10 years (during which the state committed violence against those who spoke about those rights) and the Italian people produced the Brigate Rosse (BR in short, Red Brigades in English), a terrorist organisation with a communist background who was able to exert violence via weapons and terrorist attacks specifically targeted against the ruling class. Result of this time frame, know as “anni di piombo” (lead years) for us Italians? We can now divorce, abort and arrange unions on our workplace.

I have given you this small history fact to make you understand that, even if as a European I am appalled at the idea of owning a fire weapon, sometimes the highest hierarchies need to be reminded that a populace is not just an amorphous aggregate of single people but a force to be reckon with. And personal violence is a very direct and clear message.

From a totally non-partisan standpoint you are full of shit and I hope you’ll eat some of it in a near future.

Kick a bucket soon!!!

That’s really metal \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/

If I may spend my two cents in this discussion I’d like to also propose Mr. Hicks as one of the true thinkers and philosopher of the last century. He had a lot in common with George from a social analysis standpoint and he also saw us humans as bi-faced entities capable of producing both the nastiest and the most beautiful acts while recognising that usually the lowest and most destructive instincts were the one guiding our choices.

As George did for you he also helped me forming my vision of the world and its current state of affairs while also making me laugh manically.

A huge thanks to both these men for helping some of us finding a way to navigate through this sensless journey, you’ll not be forgotten

Well, the statue will be more than material when he will be judged by the law.

The most funny thing is that you believe the infernal potentates are all aligned and following a ruler. By definition the hellish powers are independent and individual in their scopes and objectives, Satan fought God exactly because he didn’t recognize its ultimate authority over his own free will. Confusing Satan with Baphomet is like confusing Drumpf and Putin: they both are evil and terrible people supporting one another when their interests collide while also ready to jump at each other throat should the situation require so, but I would never accuse Drumpf of having moved war to Ukraine since it was Putin to do so.

But I don’t see you as a reasonable person so I presume this distinction will fall flat at your feet. Oh well, nothing bad, the guy will still be judged for his actions and will suffer the consequences (hopefully) for his sensless violence. Keep seething in your ignorance good boy
