Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

and they are willing to change what?
The topics of discussion.
We can now shift the topic from asking "What is causing all of our problems?" to asking questions like, "What would a post-capitalist economy look like?" "What is the most effective and least damaging way to dismantle capitalism and agree upon another governing system?
i'd love that. discussions are great.
just as a game of thought i'd like to point to hans rosling real quick here!
are you for a more or less fair/just world?
how many ppl on this planet have access to a washing machine?
are you willing to give up your washing machine now that you know there are not enough resources for a washing machine for every human and you wanting a fair world?
i do not take yes for an answer here as extensive studies show not even the left in the west that owns a washing machine would be willing to live without one.
still making up shit like sharing a washing machine? just wait until your find out about cars or fridges.
what i am trying to say is that i doubt the discussion can and will take place. your suggested topics would be nice...but ppl.
I'd like to think that I would give up my laundry machine, but probably not without some major rebalancing of life and work expectations.
If I was told that I could work 20hrs/week, but I had to give up my washing machine, I'd probably take that trade.
Going back to the questions, those were just some examples, depending on how far along in the discussion we are. Perhaps the right question to discuss next is something along the lines of: "What would it take for people to start having these discussions, and what can we do to achieve them?"
agreed.
It would help if some countries (like the US) would have more options for people to vote on and have it so people can make themselves voteable more easily. Not saying that you should go to the route we in NL have, but it would help to have more countries be compromised focussed.
