Demagoguery, something that Socrates critiqued as a product of democratic systems.
Socrates imagined an election between a doctor and a candy store owner. The doctor would tell the populace what they didn’t want to hear.
As Socrates described it, the candy store owner would say of the physician that he works many evils on you. He hurts you, gives you bitter potions, tells you not to eat and drink whatever you like. What fun is that? The candy store owner, however, would offer sweets and tasty things. He would appeal to what people wanted, not what they needed. He would provide easy and popular answers to all their difficult problems
unfortunately we have too many candy store politicians across the globe.
some of the first posts i see on kbin from other instances are about a major defederation lol. not ideal since this is happening when the fediverse is growing... but I suppose this is the intent behind the fediverse.
from what I understand.. each instance is like a country and the Beehaw government just banned passports to/from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Citizens can hold dual citizenship but getting beehaw citizenship will have higher requirements. kbin is also open sign-up but not banned because it's users are more chill for some reason.
there's no pressure my dude, ultimately it's just an internet forum. Everyone adding their own content, even shit posting, helps the verse get better. Don't be afraid to start your own mag and spread your ideal. build and they shall come.
You can change your homepage in settings to subscribed. So whenever you hit home it takes you to your subbed page. I keep on it All for now since so many magazines are empty but as the site fills out I will switch it to subbed.
unless cell cultured meats come in a big way or there is a drastic reduction for demand of meat, overuse of antibiotics in the meat industry will continue which will just keep driving antibiotic resistance in bacteria even further. I don't really have faith in governments to regulate this (doing so would basically kill factory farming) so relying on new treatments is all I can suggest.
SS: Russian has pulled out of the deal to ship Ukrainian grain citing issues with getting restrictions on its own agricultural and fertiliser exports lifted. It is unclear if this move will drive further food insecurity in the global south however, as other nations have stepped up their own production and export of grains. Europe has also been a majority purchaser of Ukrainian grains which adds more credibility to the Russian argument that poor nations will not suffer as much from halting Ukrainian grain shipments. How this plays out and how it effects global perception of Russia's war in Ukraine is yet to be seen.
