    This post perfectly embodies my complaint about Lemmy.

    Multiple unsubstantiated claims that are fully outrageous, and of course the post is filled with outrage against rich people.

    But not a single challenge to the claim, and it’s universally upvoted.

    This place is fully entrenched in outrage culture.

      What’s outrageous about what I said that I read in an article?

      Are you part of the 1%?

      If not, stop defending them. They don’t give two fucks about you

        Fairly confident he’s calling you a liar and suggesting the things you claim to have seen in an article you never really saw, and are instead offering a claim of your own under the guise of it having been in an article.

        Pretty cool way to interact with another human being, if you think about it.

            Well, gaslighting would be trying to get you to question reality in some way. I don’t think that fits here. I was more implying he was being a dickhead. Because he was.

                Nah, it wasn’t very clear in retrospect. That kind of snide comment doesn’t really translate to text very well. My bad!
