Discussing Socialism with people who aren't well informed
Discussing Socialism with people who aren't well informed - Lemmy.World
I’ve noticed that talking to people that some common tropes seem to come up when topics like socialism come up. Basically I hear a lot of defense of capitalism that boils down to capitalism is good because “I personally benefit”. As well as “I’ve heard bad things about socialism”, ie taxes are too high in countries with good healthcare and social programs. I wanted to know if other people have these issues come up in conversation and if people more well spoken than me have a way of getting through the road blocks and have some easy starting points for discussing things with people. I feel like propaganda and fear mongering have placed a divide that make talking about things harder
Landlord telling people to enter the residence while I'm at work
Landlord telling people to enter the residence while I'm at work - Lemmy.World
My landlord has a storage closet in the house and he told his friend to come in today while I was at work. The front door has a deadbolt so rather than using the side door he jumped in through my bedroom window and went and got whatever from the storage and left. My landlord texted me to tell me he was very disappointed that this is the second time in a row that I was not allowing access for his random friends and family to come over and check on the place (last time I actually was at the doctor’s office when apparently his mom couldn’t get in without more than 1 hours notice). He’s sending over his mother in the morning which he messaged me at 9pm. I really want to just leave the deadbolt unlocked and just call the cops and tell them she’s trespassing when she shows up. Also the icing on the cake of all of this is apparently the thing that his friend was coming to get was a gun that he was storing with my landlord because he is a prohibited possessor, not allowed to have guns because he has domestic violence charges.
How do you set default instance?
