Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Everyone have their own "hot takes" that either work as a valid opinion, or ragebait for drama. Personally, I have one that if I'm saying it to you all, maybe considered to be "too serious😈🤡". The hot takes itself is . . .

God Never forbid man to do their [hobbies/fun], (toxic) society did

How about yours? I like to hear alongside the reason why ;)

(Edit: I'm aware that some takes may kinda too far and too deep, so let's keep it casual)

"The state can't make a utopia"

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Humans can't make a utopia. It simply isn't possible, because satisfaction always requires sacrifice. The closest we can get to utopia is a world in which every person has their basic needs met, either through personal effort or collective effort. Food, shelter, safety, healthcare. If those needs are met, every person is fully free to pursue their own destiny without fear of mortal danger. Some people will still try to take advantage of others, because some people are never satisfied. So it will never be a utopia. But it will be objectively better than anarchy.

based. some people are just dicks and will do nothing but seek to exploit everyone and everything around them.

also people inherently need to feel superior and to control to other people, this is what drives so much social conflict.

You realize indigenous people were providing these way before the concept of a state.
