      liberals are just absorbamorphs.

      If you normalize killing fascists in the street, they will join you. But they sure as hell won't help you normalize it

          The rich cognizant libs, yes. But there's still tons of libs who vote against their own interests who fit the description I'm talking about

              Yup, they'll just tow the group line and pretend that they were always like that.

              Same as they did for the Iraq war.

        Tangential, but I had to attend a harassment thing for work this week and it was 100% combatting liberalism, but run through the corporate morality grinder. It was like “to see harassment committed but not report it to an internal manager, this is the third type of corporate malfeasance”

        Also I learned that veterans are a protected class, so I can’t call a vet a baby killer at work

          What would happen if you pointed it out? Like, 'these guidelines read exactly like Combat Liberalism, a pamphlet by Mao Tse-Tung. I'm worried who's getting influenced by the Chinese dictator who killed 20 million poor farmers!'.

      I mean, I've seen first hand what it does, and don't wish it on anyone, but if it's the only thing we're gonna get, I'm, reluctantly, here for it.

    Marginalized groups get death wishes from nazis and alt-right.

    Jack: I sleep.

    The goddamn Cheeto™ in the White House™ gets nearly killed by his own stupidity and people applaud it

    Jack: Real shit?

    Why don't you go back to those spiritual meditations in India and other South-East Asian countries, Jack? Let people celebrate Trump hoisting himself on his own petard.

    My grampa told me that, during WWII, if soldiers were heard wishing bodily harm towards Hitler, they were court marshalled.

    They're removing tweets that are anti universal healthcare? I didn't know Twitter was so progressive

    Would there be any basis for like AOC, Rashida, and Omar to sue twitter over clearly not Enforcing this?

        Well yeah no shit. But I’m thinking of any way to stop the capitalist system from prompting up itself. And since canceling and money seems to be The best way...

    Reminder that trump bought a full page new York times ad calling for the death penalty for five black kids for a crime they don't commit.

      That was before it was proven they were innocent. However, he's never apologized, and doubled down even after they were exonerated.

          Yeah, true.

          But that's not how public discourse works, even if maybe it should be.

    if that DPRK news account doesn't come out with some variant of "Americans no longer allowed to show pride in WW2 victories on social media" today than they're really dropping the ball

    If Twitter goes after every account rooting for Covid, it will be the largest boon to Mastodon in years. Imagine if the majority of weird Twitter and left Twitter ended up on Mastodon.
