    might be true. but voting is the bare minimum anyone should do and anyone can do.

    The message should never be: “Don’t vote because there are more important actions to take”

    It should be: “Go Vote! AND go take other actions! [1]”

    ~[1] Bonus points if you actually tell what YOU are doing that is so much better than voting.~

    … requires nation-wide organizing & building a very wide coalition that does include parts of the conservative spectrum.

    Are you @Fusselwurm participating in that kind of organizing to defeat authoritarians? If yes: Nice! Tell people how they can participate. If no: I hope you at least vote.



  • If I get interrupted I never get to make a point.

    When I talk I like to lay out where I’m coming from. Sometimes I need 2 or 3 sentences to make my point. Most people interrupt me in the middle of sentence 1. I don’t bother saying things like “what I actually wanted to say is …” because then I’m interrupted in the middle of sentence 2.

    I hate talking to people. I never interrupt people. I guess people think I have the wildest beliefs and opinions because they never get to hear what I actually want to say.


  • I don’t see anyone here making this about hierarchy or anyone claiming that one group of people is “better” (or “worse”) than the others.

    That Gen Z is scoring worse in those tests is a fact. Nobody says that Gen Z is “worse” because of that. If anything this might make previous generations look bad whose decisions lead to the world gen z has to grow up in: The school system, current crises, the pandemic, social media, etc.

    To acknowledge those test results is the key to address what caused those results. Then we can discuss:

    • What did we (yes all of us) do wrong (or right) that lead to this?
    • How to help Gen Z and future generations to unlock their potential
    • Or: Question if those tests are still relevant. Are those skills that were tested actually needed in our current time and are there important skills missing that were not tested?
