Are you sure you can distinguish between “joyless bully” and “realism”?
Yes, joyless bullies enjoy that the world is shit and actively seek to worsen it by harming others. Realists hate that the world is shit and seek to forge connections with others in order to cope and maybe improve it.
The Lemmy Bot (I mean come on it’s in its name) does not appear to have any response to this. Probably because it wasn’t programmed to respond to arguments.
Yeah no shit the world sucks. But there’s a point where you have to decide not to contribute to making it more shit by needlessly hurting people who are just trying to survive like you.
It’s also love it that when I make a post like this at least someone always assumes I’m some starry eyed idealist that doesn’t live in the horrors of the real world.
Meanwhile I’ve been through shit so vile I probably couldn’t talk about it here without censoring half of it. God forbid I think “hmm maybe people shouldn’t be needlessly cruel.”
Our world is a grim place and most people live and die in dip shit. Are you sure you can distinguish between “joyless bully” and “realism”?
“Muh human nature!”
Being a slave to your instincts is animalistic and nothing to be proud of.
There is nothing wrong with being an animal, because that is what we are.

Yes, just because the world sucks doesn’t mean it’s good to wallow in it and lash out at others.

Yeah, the default assumption people seem to have (that it’s not possible to see that things are bad and still be kind) is aggravating.
