Because that’s exactly what it is. It’s a way for the rich to force the policies they want while quelching any policies they don’t.

I’ll never understand how lobbying became a thing. It should have been shut down as anti democracy the second it was proposed

So you’re butthurt that people tried to make it a legitimate conversation?

Jesus Christ lemmy has some fuckin morons

What fucking comparison are you looking for?

The rest of the public has been manipulated by oil barons who constantly push these fear mongering talking points.

It is safer in every way.

You act like Homer Simpson is real and that’s how nuclear power plants operate. In the modern age unless it’s just gross incompetence it’s been safer for decades.

Oh and if you want those safety regulations to ever get better you have to keep putting money into them. You’re not gonna get progress by ignoring them.

In fact that’s the only reason nuclear power isn’t more prevalent because the average citizen is so blinded by oil propaganda they refuse anything to do with it.

Because the environmental damage caused by the largest nuclear disasters in history is still nothing like the damage from fossil fuels.

Not just that but the fossil fuel industry’s history is full of much worse disasters than any nuclear plant.

If you were to truly compare them based just off safety it’s no contest. Nuclear power is cleaner and safer

They should focus on leaving the country

That’s literally all you said…

Ah yes it’s making Russia so much money which is why their economy is in perfect condition and the ruble is worth more than ever!

Yes because that’s the easiest solution for people enduring violent oppression.

“jUsT lEaVe!!11!”

Yep it’s that simple. Forget your lives forget your families forget making where you live a better place JUST LEAVE! 🤓

Ah yes protests against the rich have never been useful before

This is how I feel about mobile games. Even the good mobile games will have some epically animated scene that shows all out war between a bunch of magical badasses with explosions and all kinds of epic shit.

Then the gameplay is some low effort turn based game where the characters barely move and the attack effects are pathetic light shows.

Y use lot word when short word do trick.

I get over abbreviation is annoying but this isn’t that bad

Not like it’ll do them any good. In fact it might make more people defect after seeing they were lied to about the rest of the world.

Good thing I’ve gotten the vaccines for all of them

Yep! No need to fix climate change! We’ll just wait for everything to evolve!

I’ve just been traumatized by water jets before 😅

As an American who’s unsure.

I don’t like the thought of water spraying into my ass

It’s productive in the sense of raising awareness. Everytime someone burns a book or a flag it sends a clear message and the outrage is usually part of the message.

The message is “I don’t care about your culture, your culture does not define me and I refuse to adhere to it” which is perfectly understandable when said culture is trying to force change in areas where people don’t want that change.

Honestly this is the answer.

The list of communities I’ve blocked on lemmy is multiple pages long. Not so bad with specific users but I don’t really pay attention to them.

You see a community or profile you don’t like? Blocked. Simple as

So the national terrorist threat level rose because a guy burned a fairy tale book.

Yeah I think that accurately sums up why he burnt it to begin with.

Religion shouldn’t have this much power.
