"Some of you reading this may have a clear picture of what Sikhi is, but some of you may not. It’s one of the world’s youngest religions, started in the fifteenth century. The founding principle is a belief in oneness—or Ik Oankar. It’s a belief that deep down we are all connected. In fact, it’s a belief that everything is connected: each of us human beings alongside the life forms and forces we share this planet with.
A common analogy used to understand the principle of oneness is to see yourself as a drop of water in the ocean. Individually, you are unique and separate, but together with all the other drops, we become an ocean. The goal isn’t simply to understand this connection but to live and experience it through love—love for the universe and all things in it, love for yourself, and love for others.
According to Sikhi, if others suffer, you suffer with them. When you help others, you’re helping yourself as well—because we are all connected. A belief in the oneness of humanity means ensuring everyone has justice and fairness in their lives. If we are all connected, then injustice against one of us is injustice against all of us. This is why Sikhs categorically reject inequality. The belief in oneness in Sikhi also promotes pluralism and respect for different beliefs, spiritualities, and religions. Sikhi doesn’t ever seek to convert. We can all be different, equal, and connected."
From "Love and Courage" by Jagmeet Singh

“Stop trying to turn the Fediverse into Twitter” is really dumb because the whole format is based on Twitter in the first place. It literally is already like Twitter.

I think that having internet streaming be your job has some serious negative effects on people, like every streamer winds up with every flaw and mistake magnified x100. I don't know why people would want that career.

Sometimes you gotta take a second to appreciate the fact that you arent on twitter right now, and its the little things that stick out the most, like:

Average twitter gimmick account: blm ✊🏿 | trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️ | map pride 🍼 | straights DNI | 14 | they/them

Fedi gimmick accounts: I post weird toilets. Run by (insert @ )

@matrix It's especially funny because white supremacists tend to hate the majority of white people and think they're all dumb easily manipulated cattle at best, or stupid bleeding hearts who make all of their decisions based on emotion and empathy at worst. They hate nearly 100% of white women and a massive majority of white men (look at the soyboy meme, for example); can they truly say whites are the "master race" when >95% of them are seen as brainless cattle, even by the white supremacists themselves?
