As an Australian I sometimes wonder what this place would be like if there hadn’t been genocide and institutional racism for 200 years.
The problem is that with that line of thinking, just about nowhere on the planet has a right to exist.
No country or government has a “right” to exist. They’re given that ability to exist by the people they’re supposed to serve. If the system is not serving the people, it shouldn’t exist.
You’re beginning to get the point of anarchism.
No I’m not. Anarchism keeps getting stupider and less likely to ever be a workable solution to anything the more I look into it. It’s at best a nice thought experiment.
A world without borders sounds like a dream 😍
Until someone walks into your home
No one’s saying you shouldn’t have a safe place to sleep, and if they are then I would like to have a discussion with them
buddy it used to be absolutely standard for people to invite complete and utter strangers into their homes, offer them food and a place to sleep, and not expect any sort of payment beyond maybe them telling some stories and news.
maybe research the past before saying laughable things as if they’re some amazing “gotcha”
This kind of argument is like those anti-communist arguments “would you want to have to share your iPod with strangers?”
Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: Fuck off with this racist, xenophobic shit.Apparently decolonization is xenophobic.
I recently got banned from !Playstation@Lemmy.zip because I called out the moderator for crying about black people in God of War. The reason given? Racism, apparently, for telling the mod to stop being racist.
They deleted their account and locked the community, lol
Edit: to add on, a hexbear user saw that I got banned for “racism” after calling out the racist mod, and they also got banned, lmao. It’s really funny, the mod edited their post and pretended they were a victim for “being called a bigot for standing against DEI in video games.”
Such reactionary bullshit.
Average PlayStation user, tbh.
Yea, unfortunately, but it was strange seeing such a Reddit moment on Lemmy
Remember to report problem content even if you get banned for it. The reports go to all relevant parties; the mods of the community, (who are going to be in bad faith and will likely laugh at your report) but more importantly the admins of both your and their instance. If the home instance does nothing it will signal to your instance that the admins are supporting that kind of behavior which can kick off diplomacy efforts.
The threat of defederation keeps instances accountable, as even a bad faith instance wants to retain their audience.
I mean, racism was technically the reason you got banned. Just not your racism lol
