If they could read any critcism of Europe/liberalism without treating it as a personal attack, they might understand that we got rid of polio due to a lack of profit from the inventors. COVID will probably never have that until millions more are dead from it.

oh my god the guy I called a Russian bot was right all along

Hey if you’ve seen that, that’s great. I’ve never had it happen when people who called me a Russian bot for saying known documented things and wanting the Democrats to change their messaging to win against Trump because they’ll lose otherwise.

The kind of person who shuts out any criticism or citations with “RUSSIAN BOT” are the same people who refuse to listen to anything they weren’t told by their favorite rich person. We call them Blue MAGA for a reason. They just replace “woke” with “tankie” or “russian bot”. The only thing different is the color of the party and it’s name.

Evil has been winning, just the mask slipped off and now it’s capitalism in decay, fascism.

Good people are still around still doing good, it’s just not any rich person or anyone in a government like this. And they won’t be televised.

The fact that a .world is aruging to use this weird homophobic video as a protest is just proving your point.

It’s like how people think sharing that one image of Putin with drag make up is somehow a Gotcha to Putin, who probably doesn’t even care. Wow, ya sure showed that dictator by posting a meme that uses gay stereotypes!

As Optional often is. Dude will gladly defend the horrid shit Democrats do in office and then act disgusted when Republicans do it.

• Updates them for you
• Scans them for you
• Removes ones for you if Google (often correctly) deems them to be threats to your device

I actually didn’t consider that as a bonus. Nice to know that helps future readers of my shitposts.

So AfD is a good party that isn’t practicing the xenophobic and hateful policies of Neo-Nazis? Musk doesn’t love them?

Oh shit that’s actually really useful, thank you!

I do alt text on my image posts, especially OC content as I find it’s a curb cutting effect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_cut_effect

I’m not the only person in a rural area who has internet access, and sometimes the alt text is enough to convey the joke/image than the image itself.

Plus I find it a fun test of my vocabulary to use the words I need to explain the joke/image. Sometimes I don’t know the right words and I learn a new one.

Here’s my take on it:

• I don’t care about AI being used on public figures, if you won’t want people to use you, don’t be in public, or ruin the government. No one has made AI featuring me.
• This is no different than a political cartoon, the only difference is no one made it directly by hand.
• Bluesky doesn’t have to host it, but I also would want it applied equally. If this was perma-removed, all AI or all political shit would be. I don’t like it, but selective moderating is what got us Trump in the first place with Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.
• I don’t like queerphobic shit being used to call out Trump and Musk. Use their actual actions and words, not “haha they gay”. It’s just wild how certain kinds of informal bigtry are okay when you use them on people who are evil. Like the people who constantly insult Trump’s weight because he’s evil. Maybe he’s just evil and happens to be fat.
• And let’s not pretend Jack Dorsey is somehow a saint when he only removed Trump from twitter after Jan 6. Nothing before despite how horrid Trump was. I credit Jack Dorsey to enabling Trump, and it’s why I refuse to join “Twitter 2 made by the guy who enabled Twitter to be the shit place it was”.

Yeah I hate Musk and Trump for lots of things. I don’t think using “haha they might be kissing each other! Musk sucks Trumps dick!” is somehow effective criticism of actual fascists in office.

Maybe we can criticize and protest and organize without using shit rooted in queerphobia. Might as well just say “Well Trump probably cross dresses, that shows him!”

COVID will stay here because we can’t kill a virus like this without a major world-wide vaccine like we did with Smallpox and Measles.

We still have the bubonic plague. It only impacts 20 people a year, but it’s still a disease, centuries after the black death. We still haven hundreds of thousands of people die of Tuberculosis every year, namely in countries that are under Neo-colonalism.

COVID cannot be beaten unless we hyperfocus on it. And we probably never will. Governments both “better” and evil ignored it and started not documenting/publicly showing the infection rates because it looked bad for re-election/government action.

Europe didn’t beat COVID, because it’s not up to one country or a continent to beat it, it would have to be a major world focus with the WHO.

Anyone saying otherwise is a fool who wants to ignore public health problems because it makes them money or thinks they’ll be immune to health problems that doesn’t care who you are, just your species.

For Optional, anytime a Democrat is office.

Was Guantanamo open for extrajudicial torture under Dubya, Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump? Yes or no?

“No you can’t bring up that NATO had actual Nazis with blood on their hands as leaders! Especially ones that tried to make a new Waffen-SS in the 50s! That’s unfair!”

“Centrists stand for the status quo, they would never change for the worse.”

“What if the worse is the status quo and normalized with decades of propaganda and brainwashing?”

“That could never happen!”

Average centrist L.

Seeing as some left to Argentina or were recruited by the US and the USSR for NASA, no they never were de-Nazified, they just wiped the blood off their name tags.

Surely they don’t have a Neo-Nazi party office right now, right? No party called the AfD that does that?

Surely.

I’m sure she’s just going “I literally warned all of you, and the government is using it as an instruction book.”
