Apparently the right has a concept they are pushing called #remigration, trying to force nonwhites to leave Europe.

Imagine how they'd respond to native Americans or Palestinians pushing that. I mean they'd actually be fine with it cause they know the power differential is what really matters. But good God would they make sure everybody knew the people they hate were saying that.

#MoralDoundationsTheory makes sense. Conservatives have empathy but progressives are kinda obsessed with it. See how the right now talks about empathy as a bad thing.

Anyway, great art comes from people who can't turn it off. Being connected to the experiences of others often kills them. So of course lefties dominate culture.

With all this concern over #GrahamPlatner and Dems in #Maine, I got to wondering what's the point of #RankedChoiceVoting. They have RCV but use it poorly. They should get rid of partisan primaries and just have an election where the top five vote getters advance to the general RCV election. Maybe one of them is GP but the Dem party wouldn't matter. And his presence wouldn't preclude somebody lots of Dems like.

Our civics sucks to a large degree cause our political system is broken. Media too.

@nprofile1q...

rights have always been bullshit because they can be taken away with enough votes to amend the constitution anyway. and they don't come from a creator.

we have to talk it out, often with people who disagree with us. as bad as they seem, most of the jerks have just had limited or bad life experiences, education, media and art exposure etc. hard but not impossible. fedi can help overcome the power of money and troll shit if we don't bubble ourselves.

imo #IFTAS is trying to do too much.

A healthy fedi federates widely but prevents people from being forced to see what they don't want to. So please help us know which accounts are bothering others and which servers don't try to prevent their users from doing that. Like how email servers share lists of spammers.

But please don't spend time tracking bullshit and hate just cause it was posted on a server running AP or AT and not just a regular web server. Most of our relatives are not a threat.
