Anyone who actually likes cars should want cars to be less of a primary mode or transportation. Less traffic makes for a much more enjoyable driving experience.
You know, the really important part of free speech.
Lib successfully owned
We say “own the libs” specifically for this reason. It’s never alone, and always followed up by dozens and dozens of good faith posts and responses that attempt to peel back the “liberal” facade. Owning libs isn’t owning people, it’s getting people to abandon the fence and actually come to terms with or reveal their ideological positions.
The two options are either “oh shit, you’re making good points and I’m going to pay more attention” and “fuck you, we need more genocide”. Without fail we either convert fence sitters or force fascists to reveal themselves.
Hexbear is the Thing test for Lemmy instances. Which is why you should be weary of any instance that defederates us. Especially because the reasoning of “oh were niche” is bullshit seeing as how we have an active mycology comm and I’ve never brought up a topic there that didn’t have people engage with me.
The fact that we’re so ideologically consistent and coherent and have diverse interest groups is what scares fash. Because we can come into your Warhammer miniature comm, talk circles around you in your own topic and also call out the fact that you painted a panzer division emblem on one of your Repulsor models and then drag you out of the community kicking and screaming.
