We should be allowed to do it because "insert dictator here" did it isn't the great argument you think it is (lemmy.ml)

So again, why pick? Choose freedom.

Ok, I've chosen freedom. Now what happens

Be a leader

So no real tangible advice then, right? Just telling people on the Internet they're not doing enough? Got it, thanks

You need someone to tell you what to do?

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, but you came in and started doing it anyways, lol. Just wanted to see if there was any substance behind your "do better" message.

I actually didnt tho. Please show me on the doll where I told anyone what to do.

I do what I do, feel free to do you.

Choose freedom.

Be a leader.

Dis u?

People generally don't not "choose" freedom. We didn't wake up one morning and say, y'know, I feel like giving away all of my personal data to the government. Telling people whom you've got no idea of their struggles to "be a leader" from your keyboard isn't constructive. It's noise at best, and condescending at worst. But you do you.

I cant make your life more free for you. You have to do it.

I cant think of every way to make your life more free. You have to invoke your own creativity.

These are choices to make, and when pressed I responded. But I only offer advice, and it is open ended at worst.

Im not telling people how to live, im merely stating that them not shooting themselves in the foot would be beneficial if they say they dont like being shot in the foot.
