Saw a TikTok about some woman asking why men have to disturb the peace of a Saturday or Sunday morning by mowing their lawn or using a leaf blower, and you would’ve thought she went on a bigoted rant by the comment section. Like damn she was just talking about how it would be nice to enjoy a peaceful morning and random commenters took it as a personal attack. Shit you not I truly believe some suburbanites would go to war over their lawn the way they treat it like a fortress to a castle.

Is this not extremely silly when you type it all out? Time is a circle and I feel like I’m a peasant under feudalism watching kings, nobles and knights protect their land like it’s under some type of threat

    People have a right to exist and make noise in their own homes

    Framing things in terms of rights and not outcomes is a silly exercise in personal incredulity.

      I disagree I think rights are a meaningful framework for discussing behaviour. People can have a right to for example disablity access even if it's annoying and more costly to the group

      it's also relevant here because when it comes down to it this argument boils down to who has a right to command. The other side of this argument is intrinsically tied to the concept of right to peace and quiet

        My guy this just sounds like centrism with extra steps

          how is that centrism I am saying that there are conflicting rights here and if one interest is allowed to dominate the other then it results in a deeply unpleasant living situation.
