And Trump supporters wonder why we think they’re human scum.

Can’t believe nobody noticed this article is a year old. 🤔

Musk took his money already, so he ain’t gonna GAF. He’ll play up the “persecution” so Trumpers will buy them en masse in “righteous support.” Fuckwads, the lot of 'em.

Uninstall Tusky, share a shot to get things back to normal, reinstall Tusky & be careful not to select “always” should you ever share to Tusky again.

Disclaimer: never used Tusky. This is just what I did in a similar situation with a different app.

To be fair, don’t a lot of people? I never got the hate, but I’ve run into plenty of people throughout my life who don’t care for him. I found his turn in the Fallout TV series to be a pleasant surprise.

Anybody notice certain things he hasn’t touched? You know, like farmer subsidies?

Trump: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Well, man did create God in his own image, so that only follows.

Unfortunately, it will probably get worse.

History demonstrates that it’s very likely to get much worse. Too many humans refuse to ever admit they might be wrong. The problem is each time things get pushed to the limit, it affects more and more of the world at the same time. This may be one of the last - if not the last - times we get to go through this cycle and still manage to survive as a relatively civilized set of societies.

Well, except those laws that give him what he wants - like the stacked Supreme Court saying virtually anything he does in office automatically comes with blanket immunity from prosecution.

Survive out of SPITE.

I’m tired of just surviving. So. Fucking. Tired…

Carter was a war criminal?

“Our Brain”? So we’re down to just one to share amongst us now? But, but… I don’t wanna be a Republican!!!

One that is so full of Musk-like puffery that he is making these people explain their code to him so he doesn’t have to embarrass himself by attempting to figure it out, and doing it in the manner of a scolding school marm as a facade of smug superiority.

They’re in too deep to admit how badly they obviously fucked up. Shit is gonna have to actually reach the ugly bitter end, leaving them no other possible explanation to try to hide behind. In the meantime, this must be what it felt like for the citizens of Rome as it burned.

How about filling counter-complaints (or better, preemptive ones) against those who are genocidal maniacs?

I’m in it and don’t GAF anymore.

But that requires you knowing what makes you happy. I’ve been depressed so long that almost nothing makes me happy anymore - especially with Nero actively burning down Rome all around us.

TikTok is a political scapegoat because they’re Chinese-owned, and they have long been taking serious eyeballs & money away from American oligarchs - so said oligarchs are pulling whatever strings are at their disposal to eliminate the outflow of money to places they can’t easily get it back from.

Reddit has quite a range of political fiefdoms. Compared to what “X” has become, virtually anything more tolerant of non-right-wing opinions looks significantly more liberal, even though the reality is that much of it is neoliberal at best (i.e. what used to pass for “centrist”). True leftists will tell you that the liberals of today have far more in common with conservatives of decades past than they do with actual leftists. That fact helped cost Harris the election.

When it comes to Twitter/X, you’d be hard pressed to point out other communities that are significantly more extreme in their right-wing audience than those that have flocked to there over the past couple of years. There are plenty of right-wing communities nowadays, but they’re all about the same because they’re all heavily extremist-leaning - you just can’t get much more right-wing without becoming Mussolini (or similar).

In the end, Twitter was attacked because - despite Musk’s claims to the contrary - it’s undeniable how much extremist right-wing content is favored. If you can’t see that, then you seriously need a reality check.

“Ideologues” are everywhere, and you are not exempt from their influence, either - it’s just a matter of whether you choose to listen to the ones that tell you what you want to hear, or the ones that are willing to risk losing their audience because they know telling the actual truth is far more important.
