  • I have no goal here. Just sharing my opinions. Not failing to do anything.

    Yeah being aggressive is good for driving people away. And yknow given that your goal is actually to drive people away I was wrong to say it’s immature.

    I just don’t like aggression. I don’t go on the internet looking for fights.

    It’s just polarizing. You’re just making people more staunch in their beliefs or just annoying people who would rather not deal with aggression (like myself)

    If your goal is to drive people away and make a space where everyone just agrees with you all the time then it’s effective.




  • Yknow I’m talking about on social media platforms, right?

    Frothing at the mouth raging at someone on a social media platform doesn’t do anything but cause more radicalization, so I just ignore people instead. I don’t spend most of my life fighting with people on the internet over politics.

    You didn’t present any ideas or solutions to argue against. There’s no argument happening here.

    Nor are there strawmen because there’s no argument being made.

    You said that there’s generally a lack of imagination with regards to this stuff and I was just sharing my opinions as to why.

    I think most people (correctly imo) don’t see how a large enough company can operate without some hierarchy, which seems to run up against the idea of being entirely equally employee owned.

    There’s always going to be leaders (manager or just someone who others listen to) That person necessarily has more responsibility and control than his peers and is justly compensated more (otherwise nobody would put in extra work, say, to train as an engineer or doctor)

    That person has their own interests that don’t always line up with the company and may use their influence to guide the company in a way that benefits them.

    Suddenly you have a worker class and a bourgeois-esque class.

    Most people (incorrectly imo) think that the “unbiased” checks and balances in government counteract that.

    If there’s another option that accounts for hierarchies in large employee owned and operated companies let me know…. please

    EDIT: large as in number of employees

    I usually just ignore them.

    I find that a lot of crazy right wingers do it to “own the libs” or get a rise out of their supposed enemies. It’s all just a sports game to people like that.

    If you ignore them they get bored and stop being so staunch in their awful beliefs. When you fight with them it makes them feel like they’re right. You end up forcing them to rationalize every shitty position.

    Almost nobody posts on the internet trying to challenge and reconsider their beliefs, so it’s not like you’re going to change their mind anyway.

    I mean that’s what I think, at least
