    I think their position is that it’s not political violence if “they’re right”. That’s just standing up for truth.

    Political is when something is untrue like, I dunno, periods or something.

      Isn’t that the position most anyone is willing to take? I’m certainly no maga fan but I see online calls to violence against them on a daily basis.

    Exhibit #354,364 that we’re on the wrong timeline: Crowds used to cheer Nazis getting punched. Now they cheer Nazis punching.

      This has always been America. The country’s moral outrage following the holocaust was just typical American hypocrisy.

    His Deathday is going to be celebrated worldwide by people of all colours. It’s gonna be kind of unifying. It won’t really change much, but it’ll be a good day.

      After he glitched out today, making all those weird noises I don’t think that day is too far off. Like he might not make it to 2027.

      My dad started making noises like that and a few weeks later could not even talk. A month after that he was gone.

      Dementia Don is not long for this world.

    That’s no contradiction. They say is with the expliciet intent to distort the discussion to support their violence.

      Sometimes I complain about how Lemmy folks don’t get jokes and argue about everything, but the reason I’m never leaving is probably related: people just get it around here.

        Being on Lemmy in the first place requires a certain sort of situational awareness. It’s full of people who looked at Facebook, and Reddit, and Xitter, and said “man something’s not right here” and then took actions about it.

        Statistically speaking, Lemmy users are more likely to be clued in about more things than your average internet user.

          Yeah, I was just explaining Lemmy/PieFed to a friend the other day and they didn’t quite get it. I left all the mainstream social media sites because I could see what the algorithm is doing to people, but so many that are entrenched in those sites just don’t see it.

            I explain to people that I’ve removed algorithms and advertisements from my life, deleted my linkedin, don’t use android or iOS, don’t buy anything from Amazon or Walmart, and only read paper books, and then they look at me like I have three heads.

              Basically the same here even down to paper books, except I’m guilty of iOS usage. I will go hang my head in shame lol
