    Lunar landing deniers are worse for the gene pool than people with Down’s syndrome.

    What if people on lemmy shitpost are suffering from long bouts of constipation and not realizing they are taking things way to seriously?

    Honestly, when I encounter people like that, I just block them and forget that they ever existed.

    I usually attempt to either confirm that they are trolling or evil or misinformed, but once I have done, you know, 20% of the amount of effort to get to the bottom of things and I still don’t really feel convinced one way or the other, I just block them.

    Oh well, we won’t have any further conversations. Oh darn, oh no.

    Rage bait is the generous interpretation. The “no one could be this stupid and awful” interpretation.

    So what then? I guess you’re stupid and awful then.

    Authoritarianism is the more efficient governing model.

    It is far more beneficial and productive to society to dump more money and research into countering the negative health outcomes of eating terribly unhealthy food than it is to try and undo entire socioeconomic models and human habits that are geared to consuming the unhealthy things.

    Some people are so stupid they should be chemically castrated. Depending on them to raise a future functioning human being will fail and ultimately will be a drain on the over all system.

    Some people have done such horrible things beyond a shadow of a doubt that even death is too much of a mercy. They should be kept alive and tortured mentally and physically every day until they die of natural disease processes.

    No one is actually going to post a controversial opinion in this thread, because lemmy is just as bad as reddit at cultivating groupthink, if not worse.

    Also, while unfettered capitalism certainly deserves some criticism, anyone here criticising it is mostly just creating an untouchable boogeyman to blame for their problems so they don’t have to admit that they could actually be happy and successful if they tried. Anyone who was seriously trying to create a post-capitalist world would be organizing their neighbors in real life, and would rightly see lemmy as a waste of valueable time.
