I hate to ask, but source?

Polarisation and capitalism, with algorithms and mass surveillance.

Anything that involves neither killing people nor economically exploiting them?

Anything that involves killing people? 0, unless if it’s killing Nazis and fascists, then 8.

Anything that’s just economically exploitative? 7.

Ooh, that’s fascinating, how could we implement those elsewhere, eg in the rest of Europe?

It’s dumb and doesn’t tackle the root of loneliness. If they’re lonely, they need support to find new friends.

If they have trouble making friends, and it’s not due to their own personality being toxic (like being an incel, creep, borderline, or generally an asshole), then they also need support in learning how to socialise. And even if they had those toxic behaviour issues, having help to overcome those would still be useful for everyone in the long end.

But that said. It doesn’t mean they’d have to socialise, just that they learn how to do so, and so have a way out of their vicious circle. Best way to make friends as an adult (so, no school/college/uni), is to go to the circles where you have mutual interests.

So, to such people I say: go take up a calming team sport. Take up an hobby that’s relaxing and doesn’t make conflicts. Schedule IRL meetups with the people you like and know online. Go to a concert, or a bar. Or go to a lecture, you can then discuss with people afterward.

Or, a “search friends” app (like for dating?, but I don’t recommend those because they work on profit, so they often recommend the ones that barely just don’t work out, to keep you hooked.

Talking to people is scary, but try and experiment using normal, calm lines. Weather is a great topic, the relevant event to discuss about also is, to start discussions. Even if you “fail” one of thos social interactions, so what? You can apologise, explain that you find it difficult socialising, or you wouldn’t see them again. So you can just start afresh with other people and learn.

shitpost answer: don’t have a tinder profile, then you don’t encounter scams or fakes on tinder either

real answer: just as you said, if the profile looks too good to be true, if it gives off AI-written vibes, and so on.

also, if they’re asking for money at some given point, or proposing that you can make some, in any given way…

Die Anglosphäre ist nicht ganz überall.

That’s not really “everywhere”. Not all 180-200 countries have them.

Do you think mall Santas exist everywhere, or do you realise that different cultures have different traditions?

No because we don’t have mall Santas. It’s a product of corporatism and capitalism.

To build up their armies and get independent from American, Russian, and Chinese interests.

And to undermine fascism and its (potential) allies at every opportunity possible.

Nice try, CIA, but capitalism is oligarchy. It is actually practised pretty much everywhere.

Yup. If red, brown, and cash fascism are all focused on extorting the many while benefiting the elite through corruption and repression, then is capitalism really a way to improvement?

Not that I support the DPRK, but considering the massive rise of fascism, I don’t think it’s anywhere near ‘wrong’ to consider capitalism a danger.

I criticise the DPRK for its horrific repression, but considering what capitalism in the US has brought, it is naïve to assume the US is all benevolent.

It’d open the floodgates for “”“aid”“” that actually aims to put up a far-right capitalist dictatorship.

Socialist states only take aid from other socialist states and stateless communist societies.

They can, they’re just too much of a wuss to actually rise up against the traitors, those Confeds.

What we could do is build networks of interconnected support and quietly arm/train ourselves.

One method would be a global alliance against fascism.

Too cool for God.

the bible says satan causes illness but then god causes the firstborn to die, causes plagues, and so on.

the bible says god is good but god is a judgemental ass, who raped a woman and impregnated her, and who forces suffering onto people. while satan welcomes all who come to his realm, to better themselves.

satan’s the real protagonist, not god. and the bible is so self contradictory that science alone holds the answers.

edit: likewise, if you look at greek mythology, Hades is actually pretty chill compared to the rest. He still abducts Persephone to make her his wife, but he treats her decently and lets her visit family and friends. Can’t say that about Zeus, who gets angry randomly and fucks anything, regardless of whether it’s moving

Alright, I see you’re too naïve then. Bye!
