Because generally speaking, politics is at the end of the day the single most unfiying thing on earth.

Everyone and everything at every level is directly influenced by politics.

So when you get a bunch of people together on a topic and those people otherwise don’t know each other. They are only really able to communicate in passing with one or two things.

Politics and its relation to the topic. Or a narrow opinion on the topic. Maybe a joke or some other passing comment if you push it.

It’s what small talk is. And Lemmy like reddit and any other major general community is mostly goanna be small talk.

The more frequent commenters may learn each other or have more meaningful communication but that’s goanna be rare. And realistically any meaningful conversation is goanna be sparked either via a disagreement or agreement from the aforementioned poltical view or opinion shared.

Functionally if you don’t want to engage with politics at any level for any reason no matter what. Then you basically need to just stop using anonymous or impersonal forms of communication. Which basically means stop using public forums as a whole.

Cause it’s politics or the weather basically, and since no one is goanna talk about the weather your left with politics for small talk.

That or stick very strictly to forums that deal in a extremely EXTREMELY narrow topic. Like cat pictures with out captions.

The borg will save us right? They are totalllllly the good guys!

Man I sure do love the circus!

Greed isn’t an intention, it’s an attribute. You don’t really intend to go be greedy, you intend to go make money because of the greed. Sure a cartoon villain might intend to go be greedy because he’s Ebenezer Scrooge. But people aren’t generally speaking cartoons.

Attributes are the foundation that makes up the decision making that goes into willful intention.

But no one person is a singular thing, thus you literally cannot have an intention that is made up of only one attribute.

That desire to make money along with the greed of the person, is also going to be informed by things such as self preservation, hunger, thirst, desire for shelter, desire to help others, desire to hurt others, creativity, etc.

A person who makes wood cups enjoys the hobby, then sells the cups with the intention to make money to buy more wood. Then due to their greed that intention is compounded and they start a business and expand.

There is a reason the seven sins and virtues are as esoteric as they are. They are supposed to describe non-willful forces that drive people.

It doesn’t have to be complicated. Or fancy.

But breaking things up so it’s readable helps massively.
