            So we have this weirdo being just completely wrong on purpose and then FlyingSquid who is going around right now saying everyone’s telling them to commit suicide and that they are a moron to be listened to.

            Lemmy sure does have such heroes to look up to.

              Maybe the issue here is that you’re assuming that these people are considered heroes by anyone to begin with. Just because they post a lot, doesn’t mean anyone looks to them as anything more than what they are.

                A celebrity is someone who is celebrated. Generally positive connotation there.

                I think we just then need a different word for someone who gives a lot of people something to talk about whether it is good or bad.

                  “Celebrity” just means “a famous person,” regardless of the origin of the word. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re actually celebrated by anyone.

                    That’s just silly. They could be just famous then. Or infamous. Words that mean what you are looking for. The point of celebrity is that they are celebrated. I’m making a joke on someone else comment using the word play of that comment and you are trying to change the definition to alter it.

                    If you don’t find it funny, fine, but please don’t try to alter my comment by altering a definition of a word to have an explanation to not finding it so. It’s needlessly pedant.

                    Edit: fun game, try to name a celebrity that isn’t celebrated. I couldn’t but you may fare better.

              They’re well-known regulars. How individual people think of them is another matter.

                I’m commenting on the use of celebrity there. I understand that people are not cohesive in their views but it still stands that those are 2 weird reasons to stand out.

                It’s a joke. Ha ha.

            I’m sure you’ve heard this before but doing that under a first past the post voting system was painfully stupid.

            And before you say I’m rude or causing a break down in leftist unity by calling you stupid: I’m not going to dance around my honest thoughts anymore. I don’t care what happens anymore. My political tact has left my body because the world is probably fucking doomed now anyway so who cares.

          Because he’s an accelerationist who believes that things getting much worse is a way to spark the revolution and overthrow of American Capital.

            Well yes this is true, but the reason I didn’t support Harris was because I supported Claudia. If there literally were no options besides Harris and Trump I would have begrudgingly supported democrats, but thank god we have other options.

              Have you heard of the powerball lottery being referred to as a “stupid tax”? People play the Powerball for hopes and feelings and vibes, usually not understanding how infinitesimally small their odds are. They’re not going to win, they’re just throwing money away to feel better.

              You still have better odds of winning the Powerball than Claudia had of winning the general election. It’s gonna come out sounding harsh but that’s the reality of it.
