Well, they say that SUVs never made sense in cities. Actually, also in villages, as this is happening in Germany. I’d say 99 ℅ of those SUVs are not used as an SUV. Not that I’m supporting manipulation on other people’s property, but I understand that part of their argument.
Even though per individual the rich are the greatest polluters, in absolut numbers average people might have a stronger influence on the climate due to being so many more people.
The argument of climate activists is that everyone is factually the victim of SUV drivers, because SUVs unnecessarily but lawfully contribute to deaths statistically.
I appreciate that you guys can disagree in something highly connected with emotions and still have a civil conversation.

If someone plans to move to my neighborhood and that one has a record of burning down houses, it’s not a good idea to give it a chance.
It’s not about the users, but Facebook as a company that has its own agenda against its users in order to make as much money as possible.
It’s also about Facebook seeing other networks not as friendly co-spaces, but as competitors that it tries to crush.
If you talk about users though, the “worse servers than Facebook” are by far less powerful than Facebook, and they impose no danger to the Fediverse.
Let’s start with Facebook first, the platform that made a walled garden out of
You can’t trust Facebook, it’s about turning its users into a product for marketers, and that’s it.
“healthy” here means “healthy for the Fediverse”, which means “being nice to each other” and supporting diversity, both values being contrary to the Facebook network, which is predatory to other networks, as having proven in the past.
The need is to prevent the predatory network from accessing the weaker one that promotes diversity and freedom of choice.
There is a downside: Because many people don’t see the negative long-term effects, Facebook will have enough time to influence and dominate the Fediverse in a negative way. The masses don’t see what Facebook is doing in the long run.
There’s also not much reason to federate with Facebook. Sign up there if you like that network.
It’s not only about ignoring Facebook users. Imagine in real life a bully comes to your group and you could block him, so you don’t see him, but he still influences the people around you in a negative way, changing the environment you used to love. You better make sure he stays out of your circle. Facebook has a long record of destroying other social networks.
Because the long-term influence of such a powerful yet detrimental network like Facebook is bad, and when the negative effects for the Fediverse show up, or even later, when enough people realize it, the Fediverse will have been influenced in a way that it can’t go back to a healthy state.
What is still being debated in Taiwan is if it should declare independence officially, or accept the status quo of factual being independent without declaring it. This is where the three major parties have a different stance, because the DPP kinda tends to the declaration, while the KMT still declares that Taiwan is the legitimate China.
About the vote: All three major parties say publicly that they are against re-union in terms of being ruled by China’s CCP. Today, even Taiwan’s KMT continues to view Taiwan as the free, democratic and legitimate China. So no, no-one voted “pro mainland China” in terms of how the chinese CCP wants to rule over Taiwan.
Status quo is: Taiwan has its own from China independent border control, independent military, independent health care system, independent education system, independent currency, independent law system which is derrived from Japanese and German law, and independent political system, which is democratic.
This is not an opinion, but just the facts. It’s only CCPs rethoric that pretends the opposite.
