Anyone who tries to express themselves politely and rationally is welcomed.

I’m a right winger and that doesn’t affect me nearly as much as the far left communities of Lemmy users.

I am surprised that you have survived this long. I am rather moderate left, and even after blocking the main extreme left instances, I still question my presence when I see the amount of far left populism that gets acclaimed here.

The second is probably the main argument.

Do you think German police would issue an arrest warrant against a Ukrainian, while their country is supporting Ukraine in the war, if they didn’t have any solid proof? https://apnews.com/article/germany-nord-stream-pipelines-explosions-investigation-d5579ea69995e8f309ac58c588c39004

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the plan, according to one officer who participated and three people familiar with it. But later, when the CIA learned of it and asked the Ukrainian president to pull the plug, he ordered a halt, those people said. Zelensky’s commander in chief, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, who was leading the effort, nonetheless forged ahead.

Not exactly on their own initially according to this article.

Isn’t it supposed to be love rather than just friendship?

Latest versions of Firefox offer to copy and paste URL without trackers. I am not sure how it compares to specialized tools.

There is information available to make an informed choice, but they don’t. Is there really no guilt?

I’m always thinking about Chinese intellegency agency thinking 10 years ago: “How can we create a spyware that everyone will use so we can collect all the data we want without too much troubles?”. Then they looked at Facebook doing the same for profit and they understood that all they have to do is to create a well designed social media app and make it so trendy that people will be diverted enough to not think about the spying issue. And then they fucking nailed it, it worked so well, I’m impressed. The average people do happily through away their private life for a shot of well crafted trendy entertainment everyday. All the revelations about spying didn’t stop the growth one bit.

It was, just being a smartass.

I also know about 99.9% of your DNA.

So the wikipedia page about the history of conservationism is completely wrong? I’m not claiming anything more than what’s on it. Maybe it’s important for your job to read this page.

It is a divine rain reservoir.

But 2 days later the necromancer fell short of energy and she decomposed on the sheets.

Is true love necessarily until death?

More straw man arguments, I never called him a conservative.

The conservative position on national parks, at least in the west, would be that they should remain open for resource extraction.

Yes, that’s the point, but also consider that this how it started, before progressive politics made it about nature preservation. Read the Wikipedia page or the quote I have taken have of it if you’re feeling lazy.

You are simply objectively incorrect.

You are simply not trying to understand what I mean because you’d rather confirm the bias you have formed about me when you’ve seen the downvotes on my comments.

Progressive leaders created the national park institutions, but not the concept of conserving natural space, which was initially done to conserve natural resources for human use (sometimes with capitalists reasons or racist reasons), not to preserver nature as we know them today. See the wikipedia page for more details about that.

Let me know what you think I wrote that was objectively incorrect. I get the feeling most people reading this thread and following the downvotes think I’m claiming the USA national parks were solely created by conservative, which I didn’t. I wanted to point at that conservative ideas was what started what later gave birth to national parks as we know them, and not only in the USA. Maybe some national parks locations we know today wouldn’t exist if it hadn’t been protected for conservative reasons initially. Note also, that I used the word maybe, from the beginning, because it’s certainly not the only reason they exist today. I admit guilt to use a short, surprising sentence without further explanation to raise questions, but it seems almost all reactions got negatively oriented from there because of how touchy politics is here, especially if it doesn’t follow the left main stream. This saddens me because with the default ranking system, this interesting thread got buried, and fewer people could read it.
