  • How would you feel if something you couldn't change about yourself was used by your peers as an insult? You really don't see how using the word "retarded" as a stand-in for "stupid" is still an insult to people with mental disabilities? If someone was acting stupid and you said they were acting "like a Chinese person" that's still insulting to Chinese people even if the person you're targeting isn't Chinese.

    Also I'm calling shenanigans on "the 1980s definition". I am the same age as you and I was taught it was cruel to use the word that way back then.

  • Thank you for the explanation. I essentially agree with your position, but also fear most of the people upvoting this meme aren't appreciating a distinction between choosing "no ethical action" and "inaction". Things inside the US are slowly, but unquestionably moving in a better direction today than they have been the past century. It's upsetting when people who claim to care for their fellow citizens advocate for surrendering the already extremely limited power they posses to turn the steering wheel.

  • But the sonic meme says voting is unethical

  • The way to tell MAGA propagandists from real lefitst activists is that propaganda will ignore primaries and local elections. General elections in America are for forming coalitions, not rejecting them.

    Anyone making memes telling you not to form a coalition against MAGA is working to further the goals of MAGA.

  • I am not a right wing troll. You are a right-wing troll pretending to be a leftist.

  • Reply with "Deep!" if I'm correct about you being a Trump supporter.

  • You are a Trump supporter pretending to be a leftist on the internet.

  • You are only pretending to be left wing. You want Trump elected.

  • The comments here prove it's no strawman.

  • "leftists" like to pretend the primaries don't exist and then they are all "wah wah how did we get here?"

  • Most of the "communities" are just endless meme reposts like reddit,

  • Meanwhile Apple does this every few years and nobody cares.

  • "I'm not defending rapists but there's no reason women can't educate themselves on how to make it so they're less likely to be raped.

    Yes what rapists are doing is bad. But the person being raped can’t be completely blameless."

  • Not the files themselves at least

  • "The real harassment is when someone I don't like reported harassment in the community I moderate"

    My heart breaks for what he has endured 😢

  • Imagine this guy at a strip club

    "You expect a bribe simply to view your buttocks madam? You are in the wrong line of work if you require money to perform your duties. No, I don't use Reddit it's called Lemmy actually why do you ask?"

  • That's not what charity means, they're quite literally performing a service for that money.

  • Oh I didn't mean to imply it was unpleasant, just certainly not as attentive, you'll have to ask for refills on water or spend spend a long time waiting. Though that said in Tokyo the service was on par with New York and they don't have tipping culture either.

    In Europe though, the waiters get healthcare and good wages so they have reason to be happy.

  • Tips supplement incomes so restaurant owners can pocket the profits that would have gone to paying their staff better.

    I hate to defend small restaurant owners because so many of them are complete assholes but they are not exactly Scrooge McDucks dealing with Elon Musk levels of money. Elon Musk could cover the tips of everyone in America.

  • It's kind of true. If you've ever been to Europe, the service is good but not anywhere as attentive like in the states. The problem is not greedy waiters taking tips, it's the CEOs who don't pay their employees enough to dine out more than once a year.
