I advocate for logical and consistent viewpoints on controversial topics. If you’re looking at my profile, I’ve probably made you mad by doing so.

  • There would be no way for them to gain that knowledge. I could believe that they potentially lost their primary language and spoke a mild amount of other languages that they had picked up by osmosis…

    But I am doubtful that they would be able to have a full conversation with a native speaker.

    There’s no way the human brain could just conjure up a fully functioning secondary language that the person had no exposure to.



  • Yup. That’s why I started up a new community:

    [email protected]

    To quote our pinned thread:

    Why did I make this community? Well, mostly in response to the rest of Lemmy and the way many otherwise interesting discussion threads fall apart into downvoting and groupthink.

    I don’t like people making baseless accusations and defend people on all sides when people are wrong about their opposition. I hate it when people think they know what others think and project incorrect (and often evil) bullshit on each other. It’s important to maintain solid reasoning and conclusions, not just one or the other.

    I hate people being wilfully wrong because their group fetishizes a certain angle of the truth instead of the boring reality of the situation.

    Ideas are important and I don’t feel we can get out of the current shitty slump we’re in with political discourse unless we are able to clearly articulate ourselves and discuss the world we’re in.

    You (and all of you who feel the way you do) are welcome. You won’t always agree with everyone there. That’s okay. We talk about it. We’re grown-ups.

    I truly don’t mean to be pedantic here, but aren’t these nearly word for word the same beliefs Left-leaning people here have about the Right in America?

    Maybe if you’re being generous and want to write out the other side of these beliefs you could leave out the descriptors “lazy and weak” and replace them with “psychotic and brainwashed”, but other than that, is this meme not the same for Left and Right?
