Well, I appreciate your honesty in this thread, and your politeness outside of it.

So we stop being a man after transitioning?

So are we men or are we women?

Who said anything about letting men compete with women?

I mean the trans girls just want to play volleyball in peace.

If someone doesn’t want to date you because of gossip they read online, then you dodged a bullet. The garbage took itself out.

Do you think X should be shut down because some users use it irresponsibly?

Reddit?

Lemmy?

It’s not about fairness for them. It’s just power.

Sigh.

Let them. Let them lie. They don’t care about truth, evidence, or justice. Why should we care what they lie about?

“It’s not doable”

On that we agree.

If houses cost less then rent could go down.

There are limits of course. Building a new house has a minimum cost, which factors into the value of existing homes. But with lower investment costs to buy a house, less pressure to make that cost back with high rent.

Exactly. They don’t want a white ethnostate, and they wouldn’t appreciate the level of totalitarianism it would take to pull off that kind of ethnic cleansing.

It would crash housing prices, which would be objectively good. I can’t say for certain if it would be worth the other costs.

Money is credit. It’s a promise that someone else will pay their labor or capital or goods in exchange.
I would like a world where the things people NEED housing, food, medical care, are provided and the things people want, they can save up money (credit) and purchase by selling what they can, labor, skills, assets.

Credit scores aren’t just about how likely you are to pay back loans, they are about how much money can be made off lending to you.

Pay off loans early, and the lender makes less money, so your credit goes down.

Closed accounts, inactive accounts, those aren’t making anyone else money, so less credit score.

Paying on time is the biggest risk of lending, so it has the biggest impact, but doing things that lose your creditor money can make a difference on the margin.

Sure they can, until their cousins, spouses, and neighbors start disappearing, their coworkers, employees, and representatives.

My city has plenty of racists, but even a casual racist might think twice when more than half the city is being deported.

Not every trump voter is 100% in board with his policies.

A shocking amount of people are just floating through life on Vibes. They don’t know why they do things, it just feels like they should. This applies right up to the ballot box.

Economic meltdown, most of the population has no one that would take them so they will end up either in camps in failed/failing countries or inside the US itself.

Also getting the white population to agree to do it would be a big lift. The majority would passively oppose and a minority would go full on underground railroad/insurgency.

Only a minority would be totally on board.

The Republican party was a party of radical abolitionists and it was captured by the capitalists. The Democratic party can likewise be changed to something it is not currently.

You can’t convince me of what may be by talking about what is.
