There shouldn’t be a single word written about this that doesn’t note it’s his birthday parade

Trump right now is playing on easy mode, where he can do white supremacy without paying any of the political costs of white supremacy because no one will identify it as white supremacy

You really think it would be a bigger deal that US policy is now “White people are good and nonwhite people are bad.” Even from a neutral, horse-race perspective, about 40% of the country is nonwhite and many of those people vote!

Just really fucked up, bleak stuff. The fascists have breached the gates, but you had a "bad" take on my space wizard movie so I refuse to show you basic empathy. No fucking wonder leftism in America is so cooked

"if you don't like getting death threats you should stop expressing opinions I don't agree with"
Do you understand why that's bad?

a lot of the ringleaders ARE blocked. look at the top of this thread: it’s large accounts sharing screenshots they got from other large accounts. you can’t block away this kind of kiwifarms dynamic and they know it. stop acting like the nuclear block gives you permission to act like a lunatic

These people understand they are completely untouchable and they’re getting bolder by the day

the harassment is getting worse because these people get endless positive reinforcement and engagement for acting like lunatics and believe (seemingly correctly) that their behavior is tacitly condoned by the site leadership.

it is time to start banning people for god’s sake

every single online forum in history has discovered this: either you mete out bans for consistent bad-faith trolls, or you watch the community devolve into endless toxicity and harassment

The people who want to treat this site like leftist kiwifarms should be banned

it’s the kiwifarms thing: you can try to pretend they don’t exist but they will not extend you the same courtesy and you can’t control their interactions. bans and social censure are the solution

oh my god you’re such a fucking loser LMAO

if the revolution actually happened i guarantee you would not be part of it so you gotta larp online ig

The problem the US faces right now is not the dozens of structural issues we’ve been grinding through for decades, although they haven’t gone away. It’s that an authoritarian cult of personality has seized the nation. That cult has many faces and members but would likely collapse if not for one man

Saying the problem with the US is Trump is not “individualizing systemic problems.” Sometimes leaders and the infrastructure of power around them become equivalent to a systemic problem. That’s especially true in authoritarian movements where loyalty to a specific leader is a core principle

I really think the desire to normalize Trump and characterize him as the next logical step in presidential history is counterproductive. He is dangerous specifically because he’s a freakish aberration, a break from normality. Even if you liked Bush or Reagan or whatever, you should hate him

Yup, Bush was as bad as we remember and it would still be wildly comforting in some impossible hypothetical where he replaces Trump tomorrow.

greed jumpscare

road planners be like “insert car or select pavement type”

everything abt bluesky and its users and the way they’re like “we’re twitter but Not” is irreparably cringe so i propose we just start calling this app “twitter” and call the posts “tweets” and just use all the twitter lingo

we should also still refer to twitter as twitter
