Interestingly, your post history shows that you are very interested in skin color yourself.

Feel free to dig thru it and post it here for everyone to see.

There is no more consensus about anything between MAGA people than there is among the left. People are individuals and they have different values. Voting for a party/candidate doesn't mean they agree on everything. There's likely greater differences in views and values within the groups than between them.

Sowing distrust on the election system is exactly what Trump wants.

Title says 40% of posts but the article says 40% of long-form posts yet doesn't in any way specify what counts as a long-form post. My understanding is that the vast majority of Facebook posts are about the lenght of a tweet so I doubt that the title is even remotely accurate.

Edit: itt: brain, dead, and fascist apologist Facebook Earth, who just refuse to accept that their platform is one of the biggest advent of Nazi fascism in this country, and they are all 100% complicit.

This is some Facebook quality content you're bringing to us here. It's so great seeing this kind of posts on my feed first thing in the morning. Shows that it's not just AI poisoning our social media platforms.

Life is a sandbox game and nowhere it says you need to play it like other people do. I look at the lives of the "average person" and I don't want what they have so I also don't see why I should do what they do and expect a different outcome. Ofcourse one doesn't just choose to not care about what others think - it's not that easy, but there are small steps you can take towards it that you can do every day.

For example: I like looking at things. Virtually every day I notice something and go: "what is that?" A normal person would maybe look at it while walking by without stopping but not me. I'm the guy others walk by wondering what the hell is he doing. Just yesterday there was this fascinating chain mail curtain that a store uses to close in the cashier window at night and I spent a solid 2 minutes there twiddling with it while the staff was wondering if I'm going to buy something or not. Nah, I'm just studying this thing here.

Yeah I don't want to be that guy telling others to install an app to stay in contact with me. That would be extremely hypocritical on my part as I'm the one those people who refuses to install any apps people tells me to and it wouldn't solve the issue anyway as then I'd still be using WhatsApp as well but now I just have one more additional app to communicate with certain people.

Nowdays doesn't seem to matter where ever you go there's always an app you need to install to do XY and Z. I don't even have a Lemmy app as I only use it via browser. Same applies to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Pixelfed, Reddit and so on.

It's inherent feature of human reasoning across the board. Everyone does broad generalizations about other people based on more or less unrelated information about them. Just yesterday someone here was getting upvoted for implying people driving lifted trucks are racists. It's the same logic at work there. It's othering. Us vs. them and so on. It may have been useful when we still lived in tribes but doesn't quite work with how society is today.

That was a draft. USA has never had a concription system.
