What a loser. Not only was I alive for 9/11, I fucking planned it

Some trust fund brat traveled to EXOTIC COUNTRY and had EXOTIC FOOD probably with EXOTIC WINE and is now the unassailable expert on all things.

Part of why lemmit sucks ass is because of an underlying belief that every person should be allowed to speak on a topic and that every person is worth listening to. It’s why it’s bursting at the seams with incoherent lib screeds such as this. The culture enables the extreme entitlement they feel to speak authoritatively on subjects they know jack shit about.

Mao had the correct stance: people with the political literacy lower than that of an infant should be barred from speaking. No investigation, no right to speak. They are not qualified to speak on anything of importance, they should be stopped from doing so, and anything they do say is entirely unworthy of any thought or consideration or debate - it is the fruit of the poisonous tree of ignorance and malice. You don’t try to make rotten fruit taste good, you only eat fruit that isn’t rotten. Yes we have a duty to educate but that is initiated by getting them to form a basic understanding of the topic, not entertaining their incoherent word salads or laboring over its particulars. When they produce something that is the product of actual knowledge and understanding, that is the time for correcting errors. Until then, shut the fuck up, lemmitor. Read a fucking book for once in your life.

That link isn't working for me, but that Star Trek instance is full of a bunch of people who would be defending sanctuary districts if they were around today.

Debating whether or not to drop my hot take about why I don't think the libs should have been allowed to use Lemmy.
