Tax by weight

No excuses

No exceptions

This is great suff and I agree for the most part.

I have not been occupying right spaces online. Don't have the time / energy. And I don't really put in the effort to try to change anyone's mind Online because people are change resistant online.

But

I do argue politely IRL for things that would help. Better infrastructure, trains, good jobs, love everyone, let people do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt others, transparency in money and government, and make good things in America. Still unlikely to change minds but at least making friendships with people different from me.

I guess my overall thesis would be: online discourse is has proven unproductive. I'm tired of reading vitriol and "other side is so dumb wow."

Disappointed to see the echoiness of the echo chamber on Lemmy

Thanks! Good response. I think it is always worth the effort to try and understand and talk to people and use words to convince them. I think everyone can be convinced, we just have to pull the right levers.

But if it's the community's opinion that that is not an option, and only violence is the answer. I have very low hopes for our country's future.

I would be cautious about writing off an entire side's viewpoint as overdramatic. When they do that to the left, does anyone change their mind?

This is all about division.

We need to work on understanding the root cause of issues and working towards fixing that.

I think economics is actually at the core of the problem.

A lot of people don't have the basics right now, and they lash out at anything they can to try to fix it.

The Overton window has shifted dramatically in the last 10 years. He represents aversion to that

Not everyone has a coke budget 😞

Tbh I don't care about votes, I am more interested in the discussion haha

I like you but unsure how this contributes to the discussion haha

Not trying to be a dick though

Then you will be strong and healthy

No overhead storage, just under seat! Standing room for all

Yep air travel and the DMV make me wonder how we survived this long as a species haha

If they need to haul more stuff, then they should just check the bag.

Carry on is for stuff you need to use during the flight. That's it.
