    Probably when I debated with some kids that thought capitalism is the root cause of loneliness. My point was that loneliness was a condition of being alive- not a result of a system of government. Besides… There’s loneliness in communist countries too. Safe to say capitalism cased that? Shit… Even animals get lonely. I’m pretty sure animals don’t really have a concept of the inner workings of capitalism. And even if there is an anecdotal instance or two- it’s still a dumb thing to hang on capitalism.

    There’s enough real shit you can pin on capitalism to argue its ineffectiveness. But loneliness?

    Ok, I have to take issue with this. I will never be an apple user, but until USB-C came out I was honestly jealous of the lightning cable. It is reversible and consistent, two things other phone chargers never were. Sure, for data transfer it’s outdated as hell now, but it is still good enough for most uses

    Edit: An actual ratio i earned (although not my most downvoted comment) was from telling someone that since the average lifespan of American men is 75, if you are over 37 that means you are middle-aged “if you like words to mean things”

    It was a post about how Google had been asked to take down links to websites selling black market hormonal transition drugs and I suggested that no one should be buy them from shady sources like that in the first place as those compounds are important enough to not just buy whatever you can find as a personal attempt to fix body dysphoria.
    People just wanted to be upset.

    Though I have also been recently banned from upliftingnews for not being uplifted enough about basic stuff and had a mod tell me I don’t belong in their communities so I’m surprised anyone agrees with me ever apparently.

    When I made a troll post about 09.11 and wine 9.11 release.

    Something like: “wine 9.11 has landed” + some wtc attack picture with wine logo on it.

    edit: And there was a reply to a comment about how the chinese communist army is the most peaceful and just army in the world. I just shared a picture of the Tiananmen Square ‘Tank Man.’ I got banned on lemmy.ml and downvoted to oblivion.

    I was on a Ford reddit forum. OP was pissed that their timing belt (chain?) broke, and was convinced that the repair shop she had previously went to had sabotaged her motor. I commented that these things do in fact break, and that the shop might not have been the culprit. Holy Downvotes Batman.

    When I said that weed isn’t harmless. I didn’t say it should be criminal. I just don’t like people pretending it has no downsides.

    A question about if the voting age should be lowered.

    I said that it should be higher instead because teens are stupid. I was back then, and I was considered one of the smart kids in school.

      I agree, here in Germany they made some kind of voting available for 16 yr old, everyone was like “yeah this is good” I disagreed and got bashed on. (PS: I’m also a teen, and can’t vote yet, I agree it should be higher.)

    I once made fun of someone on hexbear for denying genocide. A few days later, all of my recent comments had exactly the same number of downvotes, somewhere in the ballpark of 20, all across different communities. Whichever one of those comments received the least upvotes is my personal winner.

    As an added bonus, this was after hexbear disabled downvotes, so they had to either pay for bots or run bots on an instance other than hexbear to pull that off.

    I suggested that good music comes from republican administrations without clarifying that I was thinking about bands like Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Dead Kennedys, etc.

      That’s an interesting way of thinking about that. Huh. Sone of my favorite bands too. So if we lived under a peaceful just administration then what? Constant peaceful melodies. Do we need a machine to rage against for great music.?? You may be onto something
