I think you’re being too sensitive. Obviously there are some opinions that are overrepresented here, and that’s a real undenyable thing you’ll have in any community, and that’s what OP is asking about. Hivemind makes for a more catchy title than “opinions held by either a majority or at least a very vocal subset of the community”.
Monopolies are bad except when it’s steam.
Same direction? Why would it change?
It’s literally in the tld. Did you think it’s an instance for Mali enthusiasts?
No you don’t understand, everything is fine now. The right folks are in power, we can go back to brunch.
What the heck? They’re one of the most patient posters on here! They always back up their claims with sources and actual arguments. I much prefer it to the more common way of arguing here, which is to build a strawman, attack that, and then when presented with real arguments either drop off or say some prejorative about leftists or liberals, and then drop off. Cowbee is one of the better things about lemmy.
I really don’t think your post is acceptable. It’s some personal vendetta type stuff, it feels abusive. I think it’s ok to acknowledge that leftists are loud here and that it generally bothers you, and plenty of people do, and you won’t hear me about it. But to focus on one specific poster like this is pretty toxic.
Le epic troll, well played kind sir! Have my upvote
I wish they would all switch to submarines
That’s five victims too many. Thank God no one on the ground was hurt.
No science! Zero!
EDIT: Ok so I thought arabs invented 0, but it turns out they didn’t. This comment would’ve been a real winner though.
Are you actually though? Because if you were actually wondering this, it wouldn’t take a genius to figure out that you can very easily stop wondering by googling something along the lines of “what websites were downed on account of the recent php vulnerability”. But you clearly haven’t. So why the fuck are you even in this conversation?
D66 and Volt oppose the US
This is not true in any meaningful sense. Their words are a bit fighty, I guess, but they vote and advocate for everything that the US asks for.
PvdA,GL,CU
Social democrat is a very, very strong term to describe these parties. PvdA has been neoliberalized since Kok, and GL since Halsema. Not sure about CU. They’re basically the Clinton and Blair of their respective parties, and the parties haven’t recovered since.
Doesn’t NL’s government also suffer from the neoliberalism-slash-nazi plague recently?
Nothing recent about it. The Netherlands has had a liberal government for at least three decades, with all the cuts to public services and overtures to the private sector that come with that.
This argument always brings out the armchair lawyer in folks, but they miss the point entirely. It’s not about what’s legal (especially when the notion of “legal” has been shaped by years and years of lobbying by big corporates), it’s about what’s good for consumers. And an 85% market share is a huge risk to consumers. It’s as plain as day.
