No one says you have to care or you're not within your rights to demand anything. However, and this may come as a shock, the world does not revolve around you.
And, believe it or not, I am within my rights to point out that you're demanding someone do something when you don't even know what they do and that's silly.
(I always love it when people get indignant at a person using their right to say critical things as if it somehow prevents them from saying what the person is criticizing.)
Edit: I guess the downvoters don't believe people have the right to criticize others. Not that I'm surprised considering the sense of entitlement I've seen around here lately.
I downvoted because you didn't add anything to the conversation. Do you know what Dellinger can do now that he's been reinstated? If so, tell us. If not, find out and tell us. If you don't want to find out, that's ok too, but in that case you don't have to say anything. The route you chose did nothing to further the conversation, it just ended in you browbeating a fellow citizen for making a desparate plea in a desperate time.
I'm not the one who demands he has to do something but is unable to articulate what he is supposed to do. If someone makes an unclear demand, I don't think asking for clarification is beyond the pale. But I guess you do.
No, come on now, don't do that. Don't sit here and claim you were just "asking for clarification". We can all see the thread, we can all see how much snark you injected into that comment and the follow up replies. You weren't just asking for clarification, you were belittling someone you thought did something "wrong".
Please let me give you a bit of advice, if I may. Try and remember that pretty much everyone is suffering right now, and that a kind word goes a long way. Lead by example where possible, rather than trying to force people down a certain path. And try not to get too riled up if people don't follow your lead, because not everyone will.
Okay, well you know what I was doing better than I was apparently because I sure didn't think that's what I was doing.
Amazing how often people on Lemmy tell me that I'm doing things I'm totally unaware that I'm even contemplating.
Everyone is a Flying Squid expert except Flying Squid, who knows nothing about Flying Squid.
I promise you you'll have a much better time here when you realize that we're not all out to get you, and are all actually on the same side. Treat people like that, and most will return the favor.
Yet another thing I did not know about myself. I had no idea I thought everyone was out to get me. Because for all 47 years of my life, it never once occurred to me that I thought everyone was out to get me and so I have lived all those 47 years as if I didn't think everyone was out to get me.
So thank you for setting me straight and telling me that I need to live in fear because I actually believe something I had no idea that I believed.
Please tell me more.
Classic squid haha
