That's dope. It's rare to get through to people like that.
You're asking if there are others on Lemmy without your perception and understanding of the world?
I think this might be a "sit down" talk...
Back in late 2022 I was in an argument with my (adult) nephew about how the government isn't limiting free speech on Twitter. I was explaining how "the free market" is deciding whether Elon will sink or swim. He just could not understand how the government -wasn't- responsible.

(Yes, there were some Governmental take down requests, but none of them seemed very sus to me)
Pure, unbridled, narcissistic confidence, mostly.
I think it came across the wrong way.
The intended focus was more on using Slowpoke to call out something old and kinda dumb.
o well.
I was doing just fine until FF7 Rebirth. Bastards got me.
Preach! lol
Respect.

It is all intrinsically linked. But we need to see who the people behind it are or it's just a boogey-man.
Regulate it because it's being abused, and hold the abusers accountable, yeah.
I always see the names of the models being boogey-manned, but we only ever see the names of the people behind the big, seemingly untouchable ones.
"Look at this scary model" vs "Look at this person being a dick"
We're being told what to be afraid of and not who is responsible for it, because fear sells and we can't do anything with it.
Just my perception, of course.
It's so we can fully utilize all our Freedom!
