    Yeah, I think maybe we should start quarantining these struggle sessions somehow before they gain traction and snowball to the point that they consume everyone’s experience on the site.

    Like three to five posts? Cool maybe I learn something. 100 posts? Cringe

      ban anyone who feels the need to start a new one

      ban anyone who feels the need to blame individuals for things instead of systems, and parody anyone who doubles down on the idea that individual choice will solve systemic problems

        Are you not kinda baiting another one by framing your reply this way?

            I've literally never replied to one of your comments before I don't know what you're talking about?

              yelling at people that we need universal health care has been extremely successful in the USA, let's take that same rhetoric to animal liberation

                  the discourse changed away from yelling which is why it's popular

                  turns out making people feel guilty about things doesn't inspire them to want to make change, but instead causes them to disengage

                    it's not individual choice that keeps for profit health care going, of course CEOs and board members of insurance companies aren't going to feel guilty, they're sociopaths.

                    your comparing apples to plastic bottles.

                Here's the thing, if your health and finances allow, you can make the choice to opt out of consuming animal products, not so for universal healthcare.

                yeah, but enough people haven't individually made the choice to go on general strike, which is the way we actually get there.

      I think that the mods just need to be more aggressive about containing this stuff to megathreads. If you create a comm for arguments with other chapos then people who are angry will just not use it.
