  • I’m not a huge conspiracy guy, but I’m sorry, there is absolutely zero fucking chance there’s no cure for cancer and a dozen other things. They developed vaccinations, antibiotics, ect before the first half of the 19th century. They did this on a bunson burners and petry dishes. These pieces of shit take in BILLIONS in donations a year and have access do gene resequencers, supercomputers, and modeling programs BUT still can’t make a dent over the last 60 years. Absolute bullshit.














  • Yeah, in that manor it’s somewhat like Reddit. Even if you have a clear and explained opinion that isn’t the narrarive the masses are trying to push you get down voted into oblivion. Once you get a few down votes, then everyone just goes with the mob mentality that it’s automwticqlly bad regardless.

    An example would be abortion. I’m pro choice, but I could see how you could argue pro life as a valid opinion, even though I don’t agree with it. I’d get lambasted because I’m not hard pushing that pro life is the worst thing in the world ect.

    Lemmy reflects real life, I taught for 20+ years and I can tell you in my experience most people think they’re incredibly smart and have the solution to everything. Once you challenge them with a valid question or give any pushback, you’re called racist, fascist, islamiphobe, ect usually because they’re just repeating something they heard from someone, possibly a lot smarter than them (sometimes not), and they never really formed that idea/opinion on their own and don’t actually understand it beyond parroting it.
