I’m usually not a fan of zero tolerance policies, but I make an exception for Nazi shit.

Gone, maybe. Forgettable, hopefully, but never forgotten. Forgetting just means someone new will repeat it.

“that orange freak” suffices

Well, a known fascist tactic is making examples out of randomly chosen people who allegedly said the wrong thing in the wrong place. The amount of noise doesn’t matter in that case. They’ll just pick people at random they can persecute publicly in an attempt to scare everyone into clamming up and obeying.

At that point, there is no point in censoring yourself, because they will target you randomly regardless. At that point, there will be no point in saying or not saying anything online, because the only recourse will be [removed by lemmy.world admins] until the last one is [removed]

The US government and its oligarch pals has so much data on each of us already that if you haven’t been completely sanitary with your internet usage from the start, you’re already in a database, and there’s no point in worrying about it now.

I agree with the sentiment of this post, but let’s face it: if we get to the point where they’re sending secret police to everyone who ever said “fuck Trump” online, we’re beyond fucked, and electronic defenses will be moot at that point. Using euphemisms for Trump and Musk won’t save you from their surveillance.

Right now, it’s important to be outspoken about every one of their abuses, to name and shame them for as long as it’s still allowed, because the moment it’s not, there won’t be anything left to defend.

He eats bad guys.

It’s far too late for all of my accounts already, and I’m not going to waste my time going back through them and scrubbing every instance of me talking about how Elon Musk buries his four inch cock up to the balls in Donald Trump’s throat while Jeffrey Bezos pegs them both with Clint Eastwood’s Oscar statues every other Sunday, but he’s not allowed to cum unless Vladimir Putin says so over the Zoom window he watches from.

I still don’t understand what the fuck a cake has to do with it. In my universe, a cake is for special occasions, not whatever trivial bullshit this is.

Seriously. Who the fuck actually wastes their time on this shit?

Edit: Self-reflection creeps in as I realize I’m just getting old and these kids on my lawn are just speaking their idiot slang.

So long as people are starving under the system while others have yachts, the system is unethical, and thus following its rules – insofar as they perpetuate this inequity – is unethical.

Theft from the wealthy is morally right, period.

I can understand your confusion, but the first one he pronounced “po-tah-to”.

A pint is great at helping me fall asleep. Unfortunately, it also prevents me from sleeping restfully.

Two politicians acted cordial to one another in public?! That must mean both sides are same!!! 😱😱😱😱

I am really hoping this comment was just unappreciated dark humor and not meant seriously.

Things are just things.

I enjoy the work of those people, and will gladly offer token sympathy, but all of them have multiple homes and will be just fine. So I’m not going to waste my concern on them.

Some of them are using this opportunity to bring attention to the many people for whom this disaster is actually life-destroying, and that’s where we should focus.

Perhaps they meant that these organisms are themselves ancient?

Not all humans are bad and destructive, nor is the collective human race universally destructive. We have saved species from extinction and made great strides to protect ecosystems. Don’t damn the lot of us for the crimes of the worst of us.

Have you indeed?
