I’m a pleasant human but find myself often downvoted for what I consider an average social democratic view; taking the viewpoint that, in my country, cops are generally trustworthy, the market works when regulated by a well functioning democracy and it’s ok to be wealthy, but expect to be properly taxed.

    cops are generally trustworthy

    Oh man, you must not deal with cops a lot.

    the market works when regulated by a well functioning democracy

    I see you believe in fairytales

    Or I live in a country with better cops than you?

    In terms of delivering the highest proven outcomes for the broadest amount of people I’ve not seen evidence that anything beats a well regulated market. If new evidence is presented I shall gladly revise my opinion.

    Not sure the country you are referring to exists. Maybe Japan?

    Japanese cops are fucking useless. Which is really nice coming from America.

    They said theyre trustworthy, which in my experience would generally be true in Japan. You probably wont get shot in the head for your skin color, which may not seem like much but we are living in strange times.

    You really need to stop saying "average" when you mean "well off, white, westerner".

    those views are considered heinous on many lemmy instances, that's why.

    the lemmy hivemind is largely socialist/communist, or at least anti capitalist. it's also intolerate of anyone with moderate or conservative viewpoints on social and/or economic issues.

    just accept that and ignore the haters. most instances desperately need more diversity in their viewpoints.

    the good thing is unlike reddit, you won't be banned for having a different point of view.
