I wonder how many lemmings understand this is a Beach Boys reference.

Do they still get a lot of radio play in the USA?

You don’t have to be the person who overthrows the government.

Your vote is for people who incite the overthrowing.

Custoslibera OP , vor 7 Monaten an Memes in True story: I left an entire pizza in a closed box unattended for 20 mins, I returned to seagull Hunger Games and no pizza

Yes but honestly just shocked they ate the entire thing.

They must have been like land piranhas.

A large proportion of Lemmy are not pro-capitalist, yes.

I’d recommend posting a tangentially political meme at some point on Lemmy.

The amount of people who will come out of the woodwork to tell you ‘don’t post this’ and ‘don’t make things political’ will really be eye opening.

People don’t want to address systemic issues and think not talking about them is a viable solution.

Custoslibera OP , vor 8 Monaten an Memes in Buying a new car is not better than keeping an old one

My frustration comes from the fact that hybrids exist and are not used nearly as enough as they should (all cars should have been mandated as hybrids a decade ago) and this would reduce the downsides of electric car production.

I’m not defending ICEs here, I just think the overall environmental credentials of electric cars at this point in time isn’t as good as hybrids.

I fully expect this to change in the future but I’ve got entire fleets of vehicles which are less than 5 years old being replaced by electric and that makes no sense.

Also cars generally are just a terrible solution to mass transport. We already have the most environmentally friendly option known to man. Bicycles and trains.

Edit: for further information on hybrid vs electric see this analysis:

Custoslibera OP , vor 9 Monaten an Memes in When someone replies to this and says 'stop making everything political' they mean to tell you to stop challenging the status quo

I think our definitions of politics are fundamentally different.

I would say politics is the struggle for power.

Power is an underlying factor across all of society so politics affects everything.

Custoslibera OP , vor 9 Monaten an Memes in Your big brain conservtive/capitalist takes will be laughed at

I never said I only have discussions with people I know.

I actively have political conversations in real life on actual policy issues with a broad range of people.

Have you never campaigned before?

Custoslibera OP , vor 9 Monaten an Memes in Your big brain conservtive/capitalist takes will be laughed at

It’s not a place for nuanced debate because I have no idea who I’m talking to.

I’d rather devote my time to having those nuanced conversations in real life (which I do) than trying to convince an American online through a meme community that gun bans would reduce school shootings for example.

Custoslibera OP , vor 9 Monaten an Memes in Your big brain conservtive/capitalist takes will be laughed at

To be taken seriously offline I necessarily have to make well reasoned and researched arguments.

Lemmy is where I come to blow off steam and just berate my ideological opponents because they genuinely are losers.

It is not a place for nuanced debate.

Oh shit, I’m a ghost‽

Least aggressive response.

Custoslibera OP , vor 9 Monaten an Memes in Please don’t nuke me

Sometimes it’s a case of you can make fun of your own country but no one else is allowed to.

Thank you, that other meme made me think of this. The world isn’t simple people. Nuance everywhere.
