I advocate for logical and consistent viewpoints on controversial topics. If you’re looking at my profile, I’ve probably made you mad by doing so.

  • Not great. Sort of lost my will to post after a bunch of experiments over at !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca

    If I post pure questions in the weekly thread, generally one or two people respond. Political or not, it doesn’t seem to matter.

    If I post questions with some opinion added, people respond more frequently to those (even if I do not believe the opinion), but we get scads of aggressive comments and downvotes which buries the thread quickly.

    To top that off, if I respond in other threads in Lemmy, I get people digging up the weekly threads (or responses therein) and trying to use those as ammunition against me. It’s super disheartening.

    usufruct

    So… reading the Wikipedia article on it for more info, it doesn’t seem to place any limits on what you can own. It simply lets you makes allowances for others to use something of yours. It doesn’t seem to mention forfeiting unused property in the least.

    It’s basically just being a landlord, but with other stuff, no? I’m not following how this isn’t corruptible unless there’s something I’m missing.

    No political system is perfect. Ever.

    They require constant vigilance. They require battling. Human greed is capable of corrupting every system that a human mind can create.

    Anyone that tells you they have a perfect political system that would never need fixing is a liar, an idiot, or both.
