Fuckin’ hilarious how quick tankies become obsessed with avoiding echo chambers when on their own communities they have a ban policy of "anything to the right of unironically calling Stalin Daddy."
To actually answer the question, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear will remove most of the redfash content, but you’ll still need to be vigilant for individual users to block. Also, blocking users doesn’t prevent them from posting on your shit, just stops you from being notified or being able to see it, AFAIK Boost doesn’t have defederation for individual users so you’d need to do that over browser.
This comment brought to you by the absolute right to curate who is in your social orbit, same as in real life ya platform obsessed whingers.
It’s all over twitter lately, people getting recorded ripping down posters with a graphic about the missing Israeli children and then their real names are found and are quickly fired from their jobs.
Doxxing someone for doing something that’ll make a lot of people angry is a dangerous game and should not be done unless you’re 100% sure you’d be ok with their blood being on your hands for exposing them to their would be attackers.
That said, poster rippers are mad about the right thing but at the wrong people. Those hostages are victims just as much as the people stuck in Gaza between the leviathans of Bibi and Hamas.
The whole “bovine” joke was hilarious on one hand and a little horrifying on the other. It got me thinking: how would I feel if an animal I was about to consume came up to me enthusiastically conveying its consent for being eaten? I will be horrified, just like Arthur! But why?...
The Department of Justice found themselves another jail to probe following the gruesome death of a Black inmate. The victim’s family says his body was found riddled with rat bites in his solitary confinement cell.
Yeah that base that never turned out and acted like they were part of the party.
You know why they call the Uber right wing the Republican base? Because they’re the group that turn out the most.
Millennials and Zoomers underperform their own share of the population in the primary, which is fucking pathetic since they ought to be way overperforming that given their overwhelming lean against Republican politics.
It’s privilege, if both parties are genuinely the same to you then you’re in no position to be lecturing to people for whom the difference can literally be life and death.
Oh yes because giving Cheetolini control of the military again will TOTALLY help anything going on in Israel and Palestine right now.
We’ll go from Biden trying tepidly to talk Bibi into not blitzing Gaza to Trump shouting DIBS and rushing in to do it first so he can stick it to the Jews for taking Ivanka off the table.
Nah, his position is literally only understandable if you’ve never had a conversation ever with a queer person, a PoC, or a woman who has thoughts other than quiverfull syndrome baby madness.
You say their base as if you’re not talking about the demographic that couldn’t be assed to turn out to the primaries to back the candidate they were allegedly so inspired by.
Yeah, he could have won anyways if y’all could have actually given a fuck instead of lecturing why it was everyone else’s job to just do what you want even if you weren’t going to do the one thing that registers you even want it.
If the protection of queer women’s and PoC rights aren’t enough for you to shut up and turn out no matter how corporate you feel the party is then you’re in no position to say jack shit when Women Queer folks and PoC tell you to shut up and fall the fuck in line to use that white straight privilege you obviously are rocking to act like they’re oh so the same to get the rest of us to where corporate fuckery is the only thing we have on our plates.
You know why the Uber right turn out every time, because they believe all that shit, you know why millennials and Zoomers don’t? Because knowing the truth of what the right will do with the power they’re handing them some the fuck how ain’t enough for them to pony up to the onerous Herculean task of spending a day at most waiting in line to fill out a few forms.
You entitled fucks will fight bite kick and scream like toddlers rather than check a box. You want to perform allyship while fighting with everything you have to whitesplain to us why we shouldn’t expect you to do any of the actual damn work of being an ally. You’re making demands of us for you to do literally the bare minimum, you march and protest and say all the pretty words and then act like that amounts to anything next to a ballot to protect our rights.
How about instead of demands, you tell us why we don’t have the right to bind gag and drag you by the feet to the polling station and leave you there to rot if that’s what it’ll take to make you do even the first act of actual allyship. Why you deserve to show up at protests and public meetings like your word is worth anything but being laughed out for the faker you are. Why we shouldn’t consider you an active collaborator for having the fucking gall to not consider “THEY ARE LITERALLY FASCISTS OUT TO KILL US” all the reason you need to shut up and listen to what we’re telling you.
Y’all love to quote MLK on the white moderate all the time as if he wasn’t talking about y’all with your performative ass nonsense. All the words claiming you support the advancement of civil rights with NONE of the action.
Sit down. Shut up. And stay sat down and shut up till you come back to this convo with your “I voted” sticker to prove you ain’t just Ally-Facing.
No. I’m telling you because my fucking human rights are on the line, and the fact that that’s not enough for you to shut up and listen instead of gaslighting me with “calm down” basically gives everything I need to know about you away.
And my rights are on the line right now too. What sort of privilege you on when a Palestinian American here in the US has to explain to you why the guy who thinks all Arabs should be deported should be voted against.
Well we definitely tried it your way and didn’t get any of that shit now did we?
Or how about, “even if she wouldn’t have given us those things, she definitely wouldn’t have given us the Dobbs court you stuck up privileged whitesplaining twat.”
The United Nations says it is collecting evidence of war crimes by both sides in the Israel-Hamas war, which began with the militant group’s brutal Oct. 7 cross-border attack and was followed by Israel’s relentless bombardment and a siege of Gaza.
And yet nothing can be done because the very concept of war crimes runs face first into the concept of national sovereignty, which is what the entire current world order is built on
Nope, Jefferson may have wrote some pretty words to the contrary but the cabal of slave owning oligarchs did not actually write a “feel free to shoot the government if they act tyrannical” clause into their constitution.
Same things that prevent all of Europe from rising as one against the tide of fascists winning elections over there?
We have double the EU’s landmass just in the contiguous 48, it is fucking hard to organize hundreds of millions of people over that large a space to even agree that pizza is nice.
You genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about, anymore than those Americans you like to make fun of for not knowing the exact locations of places literal oceans away.
Well maybe if you could pronounce ya dental fricatives right before you started crackin’ wise people might care what ya had to say about what those words you can’t pronounce mean.
You dense idiot, not an insult, an observation of your neutron star nuclear lasagna thick skull, the American public are not capable of forming a front that can defeat the most powerful and technologically advanced military in human history, let alone when significant chunks of them are liable to be fighting each other in this scenario.
If the public were able to defeat the military, the US would not be a recognized state, it would be a militarized hellzone that makes Syria look like the Nordics.
Here’s a better question, what pushover military is the US subbing in for on your government’s behalf where you think it’s that simple to just rebel against your own military?
It really isn’t, Russia might grind itself to nothing but unless Ukraine is well equipped enough that will still leave the Ukrainians ruined by the conflict in the aftermath.
Even if they’re able to get themselves a Marshall Plan tier recovery package they’re still going to be rebuilding for a long time after the war, and a lot of already departed Ukrainians will hesitate to come back if the war drags on long enough for them to have developed lives in whatever places they found shelter in.
Nah, there are definitely correlation and causation in a lot of cases but there are definitely also kids who are just born evil, as if they’re infuriated at the world for their having been born.
They’re a rare breed but far too dangerous to write off when discussing things that affect the public.
Probably not a popular take but I can at least understand it from the perspective of it just being easier to put her on paid leave than to play whackamole punishing every kid who starts bullying her or disrespecting her because stupid teenagers.
It’s the dumbfuck no tolerance logic that inadvertently encourages kids to respond to being bullied by pulling a knife since they gettin’ punished either way for being in a fight, but it does make the twisted kind of sense you can expect from admins who hate nothing more than doing their jobs instead of sitting at their desk playing minesweeper all day.
You say that as if conquest isn’t vastly worse than demographic migration.
You’re literally trying to justify why Americans should get to stay by pointing out that they are even less deserving for having arrived by force instead of by mere migration.
Reminder that women who buy guns to defend against DV more often end up being killed by that gun specifically than successfully defending against future DV.
