It makes me sad. If they just spent a fraction of the effort they use to tear things down to build something worthwhile up instead, we'd be much better off.
Don't be sad! There's people of all political groups and belief systems working hard right this moment to improve things, they are just quiet and don't draw attention to themselves... Join them and we can literally make the world a better place! ๐
Your comment was not nice. Please, abide by this rule when using Beehaw.
Uh, I'm not using Beehaw and didn't choose to follow their rules. It's fine if sites connect with each other, but Beehaw chose to federate with me, not the other way around! Follow their rules? Fuck that nonsense...
If you are commenting in a Beehaw community, yes, you are using Beehaw. Please be nice in our communities -- it's the one rule we have, and by posting/commenting here, you're subject to that rule. If you don't want to do that, you're more than welcome to find other communities and instances to participate on.
Oh my god, we found that douchebag American tourist other countries complain about
You're absolutely right. :)
The problem is that their idea of making things better usually involves ranting against and/or hurting people they don't like. I honestly can't think of a single thing their ideology would encourage building up that wouldn't be exclusionary or else harmful to multiple groups of people.
