You don’t win people over by getting upset at them. I can only hope you find peace in your life eventually. I remember being in my militant atheist phase.
Good luck.

This isn’t a a debate. I gave someone a suggestion on how to be happier that has scientific basis showing it works in doing that. I even gave other suggestions.
I hope you can find peace in life if you’re this hostile to someone bringing in something you dislike. Good day.
Most people believe in God, so you’re arguing most people are being swindled, implying they are not intelligent enough to come to their own conclusions on the existence of a higher power. That is a very pessimistic view of reality I think, especially when people such as Galileo, Darwin, and Newton were very religious themselves.
Where did I say religion works for everyone? I gave it as one example of something that worked for me and clearly works for billions of others.
I’ve had awful experiences with the mental health system, but I think getting triggered by someone saying therapy worked for them makes sense. Sorry to hear you suffered.
My grievances? I do not have any, I voted Joe Biden in 2020. I’m simply telling you how people you clearly don’t understand see this situation.
The fact Trump was willing to do that is proof to many of his supporters that he “has their back”.
Why only sexual abuse? This is a problem for survivors of child abuse in general. By the time we realize we have legal recourse it’s usually too late. You get like 2-5 years after the incident depending on your state.
My abusers will never face justice simply because I was too young and poor to file charges. I would like to see these extensions given to all child abuse victims, not just sexual.
Good. I’m a conservative Wisconsinite myself, but the state senate acts like they’re royalty, continually ignoring they will of the people and saying that’s what we actually want.
See: Marijuana reform. We have millions, possibly billions in taxes going to other states and state republicans claim the people aren’t ready for it, even though something like 70%+ of the states population is in favor of legalization.
Meanwhile we have almost all of the top 50 counties in the US for alcoholism. But ignore that, weed crime is the real issue apparently.
We need the state congress to accurately represent the people, not this corrupt bs we have now.
Yes. Many religious people including myself feel happy. That’s one method.
Others find a purpose in their life to drive toward or dedicate themselves to. Be it art, friends, family, work, learning etc.
I would suggest looking at what you want from life, and asking yourself what the first step is to achieving that. I find that I’m at my happiest when I’m keeping on track with my goals.
My state stupreme court (Wisconsin)ruled that the covid voting measures taken during the 2020 election were illegal. That isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s just fact.
Ignoring people’s grievances with the process being illegally changed and acting as if it’s just a conspiracy theory is just going to drive many to vote forfor Trump.
Are people really surprised by this? Trump was indicted for January 6th just before an election year. I don’t condone violence, but it is prone to happen a lot between now and November 2024. Depending on the outcome, there’ll probably be a lot of violence immediately after November 2024 as well…
Goodness help us.
Talking about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the Midwest is a very big one here. Whether or not it actually makes economic sense to do so doesn’t matter, the fact is he’s saying it. People want to hear that.
I didn’t give a solution, just an observation. People are willing to be forgiving since they feel Trump is working for them more than establishment politicians are.
Regardless of what you think of it, populism gets votes.
Yes. This is the power of Trump’s populism. It’s astounding that coastal Americans still don’t understand the suffering Middle Americans are going though that continue to lead to these extreme candidates on the right, but here we are.
Micheal Moore was right.
Not hard to vote for a to-be-convicted criminal when the rest of the candidate pool are criminals who will never be convicted.
Why not go a step further and make huge education mandatory? We used to consider high school optional, but eventually we realized the immense value that comes with an educated society.
This would put us in line with other countries who give loans to college students with no interest. I think it’s a great idea, much better than the one time loan forgiveness nonsense that was tried before.
Ever hear the concept of the “house n-word”? They were a slave that was allowed to live in the house as a servant, who also got education such as reading and writing. Didn’t change the fact most slaves were living in what amounted to chicken coops for humans.
Tyson got to where he is on his own merits, but there can still be institutional discrimination that prevents other black people from doing what he did.
Another great example of this in science is the Nobel Prize. It is infamously sexist, even excluding people who such as Noether who have contributed physics insights comparable to Newton or Einstein.
Funny how the ivory tower that preaches to us about equality and social justice turns out to be racist themselves.
Lemmy.world is run by Mastodon, while lemmy.ml is run by unapologetic socialists/communists.
One doesn’t really have a political focus while the other one has at least officially associated itself with such beliefs.
Thanks to the federated nature of lemmy, if you don’t like the way an instance is run you are free to go to another instance. If you want to be in an instance that will align with your beliefs, then you have that option as well. Isn’t it wonderful?
