Pretty much the title. I've been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.
I think it's easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?
Please list me 500 sources for your world views so I might discredit them one by one!
I don't defend capitalism further than the fact that it's the best system we have at the moment as something people will accept, considering the only alternatives are anarchism or socialism.
What I do hate is the ideas that turned my country from a first world country to a third world country in less than 100 years. But trying to explain what it's like to someone that lives in such privilege as the US is like trying to explain a color to a blind person. And my comment wasn't aimed at the validity of leftist ideals or the value of capitalism but rather at how polarized Lemmy has been in my short experience on the site.
I've blocked over 30 subs at this point trying to get politics out of my feeds. And for some reason all of those were leftist subs, like as if opposing opinions weren't allowed on lemmy
Edit: And a final comment, I've come to the conclusion that the concept of left and right that each person has depends on their country of origin. But everyone seems to think that when someone says right wing in another country they're referring to the same kind of right wing they have at their own country
Like in 1984 by Orwell, where every "other party" is the same as the other three from the tristate.
