I believe that the massive scale of corruption that exists within the capitalist system necessitates rebuilding from the ground up. Part of the solution is going to be intentional communities (I hope anyway) where we’re building communities with the intention of solving some of these large scale problems (scarcity, pollution, racial injustice, etc) in the community. There’s a collection of already existing communities on ic.org where you can find resources on how to build a community or where to find them. There’s every flavor of community whether you’re looking for a commune, a spiritual community, an eco-friendly community, permaculture, etc.
The economy is doing better precisely because regular people’s lives are harder. A “strong” economy means more and more off the backs of everyday laborers. Not to mention intentional raising of unemployment rates to combat inflation. The system is fucked. There’s nothing in it for me and you.
The main suspected causes mentioned are poor diet, alcohol, tobacco, physical inactivity, and obesity
exactly my point. the atheism subreddit used to be exactly like this too. it’s chock full of anti-religious circlejerkers that want nothing but to own believers and it’s just pure brainrot.
but that’s my problem with the current state of lemmy in general. it seems like there’s a lot of reactionary bullshit and no actual discussion. people will just assume that you believe certain things if you disagree with what they’re saying.
duh. saying i’m not a fan of the founding american government doesn’t mean i’m pro 1700’s british monarchy
forgive me for not caring too much but 100 bags of waste on the moon is not only nothing, but there’s not even an environment to destroy there. i’ll worry about moon waste after we start taking care of all the waste here on earth that’s actually affecting us.
while you’re defining quaint, have a go at defining “content” and make sure it includes fatwas and religious killings, since you consider those to be content.
or perhaps you’re just circlejerking with the other antitheists here and it doesn’t matter as long as God bad Science good.
