I’ve found that, while you can’t convince a crackpot of anything, you can study them like a scientific specimen and it can be quite interesting

It’s rare but it’s there, and when you genuinely find someone who will take your points and offer their perspective in return it can be a glorious thing.

memes@lemmy.world•POV: When You Are a Fourth Generation North AmericanEnglish
1·1 day agoThat helps. I think you misunderstood - what I was trying to say was something quite similar: the person I replied to (who I think wasn’t you) was talking about access to family planning, and I was saying this has been available in developed countries for a long time. So although it did lead to a decrease in birth rate decades ago, it’s only recently that we see sub-replacement rates, so that latter effect specifically is likely not to do with access to family planning.
Hope that also helps, haha!

22·2 days agoMen and women in developed countries have had multiple ways to avoid pregnancy for decades, but it’s only recently that birth rates have fallen below replacement in most of those countries. So there’s something missing from your story, at least.

3·3 days agoBecause the law recognises a difference between direct and indirect causes.
If it recognised indirect causes then Lemmy would fucking implode due to the amount of people wishing death to various individuals.
This, and without a hint of irony.

5·4 days agoIndeed. And I mean, the editing they used wasn’t even misleading except in small details. He said everything they quoted him saying, and his speech was a call to arms, it’s just he didn’t say it quite so directly.
But sure, ten billion in damages.
So few of these bullshit cases go to court, I hope the judge fucks Trump for abusing the process after coming to understand he isn’t using the court in good faith.
