minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down2·1 year agoAny argument based on “us vs them” is flawed by default.
minus-squareShardikprime@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down3·1 year agoYeah, like, who are “they”?
minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down6·edit-21 year agoNazis, terrorists and/or communists. In abstract, no definition or distinction. Just don’t think about it too much. “They” will fit one of these. But for sure, trust “us”, because we’re definitely not either of these.
minus-squareShapillon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI don’t know many communist per se (mostly other flavor of leftists/marxists) but most of the folks around me hold wikipedia in high regards.
minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI definitely do. Wikipedia is amazing. But. Unfortunately, everything is political: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816 My point wasn’t even judging Wikipedia. I just think “us vs them” is a horrible framework for reasoning.
minus-squarechicken@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoHow is OP using that reasoning though I don’t get it. Just by using the word ‘They’?
minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoIt sparked from me wondering who’s this “they” OP was referencing to. Pretty much impossible to pinpoint. And then, I associated that with “us vs them” rhetoric lines. I didn’t even accuse OP of anything. I just wrote what that shower though made me think about. Maybe it was just another shower thought.

minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·edit-21 year agoYou got 1000 upvotes. At that scale everything is a political statement. 🎉
minus-squareDaft_ish@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year agoBrah, I was just happy that Wikipedia hasn’t joined the enshitification train.
minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI agree wholeheartedly. :) My commentary was an observation about “us vs them” way of reasoning, only. I’m happy for your lemmy karma success!
