Ok but Hitler was literally mentally ill. Could he have been rehabilitated? With the methods available at the time? The methods of today? Would that be just? Safe? How much do you trust the science?
It’s not some crazy hypothetical. There are thousands of people walking around right now who have that same capacity and drive to do evil.
Do you think Adolf Hitler could be rehabilitated?
Maybe through empathy, or the power of prayer, a mosquito can be convinced to live a vegan lifestyle?

Yeah I’m sure I’ll have much better luck on the .ml instance 😅
Yeah turns out speech here isn’t so free when your opinions run counter to what the mods deem politically correct.
Which is the whole point of freedom of speech.
Free speech that the mods agree with that is. I was perma banned for c/Europe for privately objecting when a moderator removed this image I posted in a reply decrying antisemitic conspiracy theories in their forum. The mods left the libelous post up, and deleted my sarcastic, but otherwise civil response.
Maybe my opinion was wrong, but it certainly wasn’t dangerous, hateful, threatening or intentionally misleading, as the original post was. Lemmy has a lot going for it, but let’s not pretend that free speech on this site is anything other than window dressing. The Mods are still judge, jury and executioner inside their fiefdoms.
It just hasn’t become a problem for the majority of users, because we’re a relatively small, ideologically homogeneous community. If the fediverse ever becomes mainstream, you’ll start seeing that freedom of speech disappear as moderators sort out the dissenters, and authoritarians work their way into positions of authority.
To add context: He helped his cousin stab two people, including another 13 year old child in a targeted attack against jews. Just because he didn’t physically stab anyone doesn’t mean he wasn’t an active and willing accessory. This kid was not innocent.
Hopefully he turns his life around. Time will tell.
The best way to bring manufacturing back to America is to promote labor rights abroad. Instead of dragging other countries industries down with TARRIFS, lift the workers of the world up, so they’re no longer undercutting each other in the labor market.
Reward companies in America that make products with union labor, regardless of if those unions are American or not.
Has the military government in gabon allowed international election monitors to oversee the process? I can’t find any mention of them anywhere in this article or any others.
Written English should widely adopt accented letters. Our spelling would make a lot more sense if words were written the way they actually sounded. Half the words I’m talking about are rooted in Old Norse anyway.
Kill me.
It’s not that ebikes are regen braking, it’s that bikes are throwing less brake pad dust into the air due to the lower mass and velocity of the object involved.
A single brake pad on a car is around the size of the sole of a shoe, and they use 4. A bikes brake pad is around the size of a thumbnail, and you only need 2.
