@ValerieMars So any time somebody older and wiser twlls you something you don't want to hear, it must be "mansplaining". I've been fighting nazis since the 80s hunn. You might learn something.

@ValerieMars It's a shame that they are using you as a focus for their hate, but they are also saying that Democrats are extracting adrenochrome from children and Ukrainr is full of human trafficking nazis. And all of it is distraction. I will help defend you from them, but I won't amplify their talking points.

@ValerieMars I know it's about you, That's you in the picture, isn't it?

@DystopianGirl They are a lot better at psy-ops and cyber warfare than they are at conventional warfare, that much is certain.

@ValerieMars When we get distracted by this culture war nonsense, we are accepting that the Right gets to say what is important. Who cares? Let them have their little outrage fits against candy and puppets and potato toys. Pat them on the head and say "that's nice" and put them off to the side where they belong, and instead let's talk about Russian moles in the FBI. That's a little more important.

@armyvet1972 If you keep giving them your monry, you are encouraging them to keep treating you like crap.

@newsopinionsandviews@masto.ai The Rwandan Genocide wasn't because they had too many machetes. It was because a radio station was pouring hate into their ears. This isn't the same kind of mass shootings we had in the past. This is Stochastic Terrorism, and until you start putting the blame where it belongs, right at the feet of Rupert Murdoch and the Right wing hate machine, until then, your opinion is worthless.

All the new people have really livened things up, and it's great to see this cool place becoming more popular. But also, you might want to be here for a while before you start with the "you know what's wrong with this place?" and the "you know what this place needs?" stuff.

@georgetakei When I heard Star Trek: Discovery was time travelling 900 years into the future, I hoped that Michelle Yeoh would capture the Andromeda and kick Sorbo's ass.

Authoritarianism looks like "freedom" when you agree with it, because then the government "frees" you from seeing things you don't like

@pieist Me too. I stopped watching TV a long time ago. When I would visit my mom and the TV was on, that brief exposure was enough to make me nuts. Mindless babble meant to trick credulous consumers out of their money. I truly don't know how people can stand to watch it.

@odonion_gethen @Lowie@universeodon.com It's a complicated situation, and the answers aren't always intuitive. We can nip the Nazi problem in the bud if we play it right, but I get the feeling we won't. Form bonds with neighbors, start a tenants union, make a community garden; all things that nullify the fascist advantages.

@e_urq Thanks for this. I heard about the article, but there was no way I was turning off my adblocker for the #NYT
If we keep giving them our attention, they will keep lying to us.

@maxboot Can't see it behind the paywall. Oh well. Not turning off my ad-block.
