I gotta tell you I will take the whole furry/alternative/LGBTQ++ scene over LinkedIn absolutely any day of any week of any year of my entire life. For one thing the opsec is far far better.

Light Mode this, Dark Mode that… not enough people are implementing Windows 3.1 Hotdog Stand Mode.

@skyfire747 what an awful interpretation. you act like the teacher is completely abstracted in this metaphor, but the danger is not just "the rumor," it's the rumor spreader. in this story it's the teacher, today it's fascists spreading xenophobia, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. and back in salem it was the leaders of the witch trials.

if you knew anything about the history of the witch trials this would be glaringly obvious. the women designated as witches weren't arbitrary targets, randomly chosen to sow distrust, they were any women deemed too powerful, community leaders. the witch trials were a violent enforcement of patriarchy, so that the men leading the witch trials could claim more power.

rumor spreaders materially benefit from spreading rumors, they garner power through this mechanism. and i'm sorry to inform you but today's fascists aren't bipartisan, they're all on the right.

the notion that the only proper way to defeat fascism is through "debating" them rests entirely on the idea that whatever fascists assert is assumed to be true unless proven otherwise.

marginalized ppl like me are constantly asked to endlessly jump through hoops to simply be allowed to exist, let alone allowed any rights.

it is never asked of a fascist to prove why their fascism is justifiable or rational first.

and it can never be justifiable. because right-wing politics rests on ideas that, when you adhere to them, only serve to make other people suffer at the expense of whoever stands behind them.

but yet liberals and centrists still pretend as if those people are just "people with a different viewpoint" as though we all are arguing pizza toppings and not whether or not people like me get to live to see tomorrow

Without checking, name the band behind Tubthumping, Enough is Enough, Mouthful of Shit etc.

Please reboost for sample size.

1. rest in piss you piece of shit asshole who wanted my friends dead and accepted their deaths as a necessity for guns.

2. now would be a great time to turn off autoplay of videos and gifs to avoid accidentally being exposed to the video and any associated trauma you may have as a result

3. if you post that thing with no comment warning and no context (especially if you're trying to trick people into watching it) I'm going to block and report you with the strength of someone slamming the mallet down like those strength test machines at carnivals.

also i find it incredibly weird how charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined

the amount of ppl i’ve seen already saying “politics aside, he was a son, husband, and dad. he didn’t deserve this” is bananas. if the only good thing you have to say about somebody is that they had basic relationships that literally every person has, i feel as though that should clue you in to the fact that they just…weren’t a good person. notice how there’s no “he cared so deeply for people”, “he did so much good for the world”. the only good thing about charlie kirk is somebody else.

Once again just like when the healthcare ceo got merked we’re getting to see who society deems as valuable and worthy of protection and remembrance and who it sees as disposable. Violence towards an individual in power who made a lot of repellent choices is never acceptable!! but violence towards the helpless who are struggling just to get by in a world that the people in power have made actively hostile is totally a-ok and to be expected and not worthy of comment or censure

All that has happened tonight is the fascists have got themselves a martyr. Expect repercussions and keep one another safe.
