Then do something about the problem! For fuck’s sake. If you see a problem and choose not to do anything about the problem beside complain about the problem, then you’re part of the problem.

I’m not saying any of those people are wrong or right. What I’m saying is is people put forth the energy to criticize those organizations and countries involved without coming up with solutions to improve said organizations. Instead people just say that those orgs are evil or bad. Both organizations are international coops, so how is that a bad thing? It shows a great chance, but instead of trying to find solutions, they want to chastise it.

So with that being said, what would be your solution to improve NATO and the UN?

Because nato and the UN are the first sign internationally cooperation, but people want to shit on it because they don’t have a good argument of why the structure doesn’t work, so instead of creating a good argument about the current structure, they just shit on it and say “NATO BAD”.

I will look up Scandinavian socialism because I’ve never heard of that specifically.

But with that being said, and with all due respect, are you calling me a fascist troll now?

Edit: Read up on it and found that “Scandinavian socialism” is a (this might be bad wording for it) red herring.

https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/the-myth-scandinavian-socialism

But I’ll continue to research to see that perhaps the sources could potentially be bias

Edit 2: I’ll update with what sources I discover. I will read the articles, but it started with a simple Google search of “Scandinavian Soscialism”

Edit 3: I’m done. Scandinavian socialism is not real

I know. Just saying I don’t approve. I have no control of what you do

The game is pointless imo

Haha. Sympathy troll? I hope you don’t get banned because you’re entertaining. I guess saying not to do the same thing shitty people do and to rise above it is me giving them sympathy? You got some wires crossed. You’re what I consider a left radical. And don’t misunderstand. I’m a left-leaning libertarian. We are one of the weirdest groups on the left. Like expecting personal freedoms in a social government. I get it’s odd, but you are saying that the only way to win is to troll the trolls. What does that accomplish besides vilifying us further down the road instead of continuing to let Trump’s GOP continue to implode.

And if people do decide that they feel their side is wrong and switch to the other side, it is fine. However (through experience), you are the only person I’ve interacted with who has said that. So with all evidence that I have seen you are minority in that belief. Everyone else has absolute condemnation in their mind

Fuck that lol. Curse all you want, but curse to people. Not at them

This is art

Then why prove them right?

The burned croissant appearance is a nice touch

Intention I suppose…

What I mean is anyone can be referred to as an idiot or a moron without isolating a select few. When you say “retard” you’re not only offending a small group of people, you’re offending everyone you call that and the group because you feel those people are lesser.

Don’t call yourself that. And that I disagree because those other words can be used to justify a generalization while “retard” is not a generalized word.

And I’m just going to assume what you said is an apology, but you haven’t been able to figure how to comfortably apologize to people online. Apology accepted

Whoa whoa whoa. Slowdown. I didn’t downvote you. I actually forgot to vote at all

And you’re insinuating that I’m a retard because I downvoted you? Take a day from lemmy friend. We all get worked up and I believe you’re worked up

Ha! I love it. It looks like that old, grumpy cop that’s 3 months from retirement

I’ll take half right

I would argue that it’s not ok due to the context of the word and self-deprication creates negative feedback loops

Words like moron and idiot can be used as generalized insult. They can be offensive, but it doesn’t refer to a certain person or people. Moron and idiot are both defined as being stupid and stupid is defined of lack of intelligence or common sense. The word “retard” refers to people that have mental retardations. The individual person can control being stupid, but they can’t control being mentally retarded.

And if you start a brigading campaign against them, it’ll just be used to raise their platform.
