Race/ethnicity is an immutable physical characteristic. Culture is a set of norms and attitudes that people choose to (or not) adhere to. Nobody would fly off the handle if you said new yorkers are stand-offish. It’s generally true - even if it doesn’t necessarily apply to the whole.
“Judge people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Not a wild take at all. I’d bet money the guy you’re replying to thinks America’s evil is unique to it alone.
In reality, evil is just part of the human condition.
Wow what a bunch of freeloaders!
What has science ever done for me?
Actually sir, have you considered that religion bad?
I have read a quote by Marx, and am very smart.
“the question of “should Christians strive for a classless society” is a complex one.”
Not to the early Christians it wasn’t. The early Christians movements (before they were co-opted by Empire) were radically egalitarian.
What do you think that chart would show?
(Aside from a huge drop in democratic popularity following the anti-israel media blitz following the Oct 7 massacre)
Do you think Republicans are the only ones susceptible to propaganda?
I’ve only been here a couple days, but from what I’ve seen so far, lemmy is significantly more left wing than reddit at large (which is really saying something), and I’ve seen basically zero pushback on that.
Obviously we don’t want to encourage extremist right wingers to come in and trash the place, but it also wouldn’t hurt to have some more mainstream appeal.
You’re tripping dawg. Your argument is weak, which is why you’re trying so hard to twist people’s words into something they’re not.
Culture is a set of norms, attitudes and behaviors. It’s not racist to predict behavior based on whether said people self-identity themselves as members of those cultures. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp, so stop intentionally misinterpreting what people are saying. What you’re doing at this point is trolling, and you know it.
