It's not just blind hate, it's a nation of under-educated racist bullies

Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them

Words have meaning, and when you say things like that, you lump us in with those scumbags. That's exactly what the lunatics in charge want. Dehumanize us so the common person won't care when they kill us. "Who cares if a bunch of gay people got shot? They were Americans, it's their own fault for living in that shitty country in the first place. They all have guns, they should've shot first. "

There are plenty of us here who agree with you and are cheering you guys on because we want to gut the current government just as much as you do. I hope Canada hits us with tariffs, and I hope it hurts. Because maybe then these idiots here will wake up and realize what they've voted for. I doubt it, but I can hope.

No, I believe the argument they're making is if someone else posts your private information on BlueSky (think Kiwifarms doxxing gay people and sending that info to Christian hate groups), and BlueSky moderation doesn't take action against the account posting the info, and then somebody uses that information to find and attack you, then BlueSky is culpable in the attack because they could've done something, but didn't.

A better example, I think, would be the recent issue with known transphobe Jesse Singal and his followers, who came to BlueSky around a month ago and immediately began posting bigotry and false info. When reported to the moderation team, they did nothing about it (he actually got banned by the auto-mod and then manually unbanned during that period, but that's another story). If he were to do something like my example, posting a trans person's private information online and telling his followers to harass them, and BlueSky did nothing to remove the posts or his account, then they'd be legally culpable for enabling anything that might happen to you. But under arbitration, you can't sue them for it.

This just in: Hitler says generals won't do anything "without our approval."

Only that one in NYC where they arrested all those protesters years ago.

This is the HR division of the US government. EVERYBODY is affected by this.

Elected by a margin of 1.5% of the vote, in an election where 2+ million mail-in ballots were thrown out, with black voters' ballots being 9 times more likely to have been thrown out, and where more than half of the voting public didn't even care enough to bother to vote.

I'm saying have some damn empathy for us dirty American faggots and trannies who are likely to end up in a camp with no government to protect us - hell, a government that is actively hunting us down for sport.

Or do you call German Jews Nazis as well? After all, the Germans made a choice. Hitler was democratically elected, too, you know.

You sound exactly like the Republicans do when they talk about China, or immigrants, or black people, or...

Don't buy anything American, urge every politician you can to fight against our government, anything and everything you can. But don't victim blame those of us who did and are actively fighting against the monsters the bigots and the white liberal masses put into power. I'm hoping for NATO to come and save us, not gun us down in the streets for being American.

Not the Nazis, but the trans and bi and Jews and...

Or I guess we bi and trans Americans can go to the camps or get shot. Good to know we won't have any aid from Canadians in fighting back.

According to a US judge last year, "boneless chicken wings" does not mean the chicken wings don't have bones in them.

Yes, it was 100% used in those words. "A genocide of trans people" was what somebody in his administration said.

Once they had the election, what little of the mask was left started to come off immediately. They have no reason to hide it any longer.

No, it's part of a longer animation where he pulls the mag, racks the slide, checks down the chamber to examine the barrel and chamber for damage, then flips it to check it again from the other end, before putting the mag back in, and putting the now cleared gun onto one of the stacks.

Then he picks up a new one and begins the process all over again.

He actually shows pretty good gun handling during the whole thing. Even with the slide racked, the mag out, and the chamber checked and cleared, he still uses proper trigger discipline through the whole process. Flipping the gun is really the only "rule of cool" bit of the whole thing.

The whole thing is that he's prepping 1911s for use to defend a tribe against an invading army. A lot of 1911s.

My point was that you can buy one gun, or help the community to either arm themselves or teach them how to. I figured a reference to Joshua Graham and his famous scene of checking guns forever would be picked up since the quote "We can't expect God to do all the work" was a big meme for awhile.

The quote has been buried in all the anti-trans executive orders that have been passed in the past week. I tried looking for it as well, since I saw at least a couple of articles that had quoted it directly from somebody in his administration, but all you can find now are the executive orders banning trans people from the military, etc.

Did you know that for the past few years, the people of Myanmar have been fighting back against a genocidal apartheid government without any support from outside countries? They can get ammo and hobbyist 3d printers, but nobody is willing to send them any guns to use.

I'll give you an acronym so you can try and guess the redacted word: PSR.

Buy a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he can feed a family for a lifetime. After all, many hands make for light work.

Edit: The quote and gif are a reference to a Fallout meme involving The Burned Man, who is sitting at a table with a pile of unchecked 1911s on one side and stacks of cleared pistols on the other.

Print, redacted, repeat

I pray for the safety of all good people who come to Zion, even Gentiles, but we can't expect God to do all the work.

Why would anyone post that info online where it can be easily traced by government officials?

Whether it's protesting or anything else, you'd just be incriminating yourself.

Yes. Trump's administration called for "a genocide of trans people" (direct quotation) once the election was over, before he was even in office.

Trans people are having their government IDs and identifying documents seized when they try to renew their passports. Any info on gender is being scrubbed from medical and scientific research papers as we speak. An executive order was passed saying that there are only 2 genders in the US, and passports no longer accept an X gender marker.

Then there's the immigrants being deported. They need camps to house all of them in.

All of this is very much in line with Nazi Germany, from the burning of research from the Institute of Sexual Wellness (remember the famous picture of Nazis burning books? All research and medical records from the Institute relating to gay and trans people) to the camps for immigrants, gays, socialists, and, later on, Jews which began being built 53 days after Hitler took office.

And 100% of Canadians vote, right? And 2 million+ of those mail-in ballots get thrown out, right? And those are only available in certain provinces anyway, right? And people stand in line for 5 hours, right? And there are only 2 polling locations per city, right? And there's no issues with indigenous people being disenfranchised by the government, right?

It's almost like Republicans actively make it as difficult as they possibly can for people to vote. And I sure as hell am not going to blame those people who had their ballots thrown out, or stood in line for 5 hours only to get turned away because they closed the polling locations early (illegally, I might add) or didn't have some esoteric form of ID that they didn't know they needed because Republicans had quietly passed a Voter ID law in the state without sending out any notification to anybody - and then largely only demanded it from people who "looked too Mexican."

Again, those who actively chose to stay at home and not vote? Blood is on their hands, fuck 'em. But there's tons of people who actively voted and had their vote thrown out or were denied the right to vote, and I'm not gonna put them in the same boat. Voter suppression in the US is bad, and it was even worse this past election. To the point where there's questions about whether or not the election was tampered with. But go ahead and keep blaming the Jews for not voting against Hitler hard enough.

Depends on where you live, etc. My dad was telling me last week, since he keeps track of what he pays for food, that last year eggs went from $4 to about $8 for your basic grocery store eggs.

I don't even work in tech and that was my first thought.

I would add one big caveat to that: voter suppression. Voting day isn't a holiday, many MANY people have to work, and between Republicans doing all they can to make mail-in ballots inaccessible and closing polling stations to the point where people are standing out in the heat for upwards of 4 hours to get into a place to vote, let alone purging voting rolls so close to the election that there wasn't enough time for people to register again (and nonsense voter ID requirements), I can't blame some people for outright not having the ability to vote.

Anybody who had the ability to and chose not to? Yeah, blood is on their hands. The time to push for the changes that everybody wants is not 3 months once every 4 years, but the time leading up to those 3 months.

One thing to note about the US is that this funding directive means that funds will go to areas that oppose public transportation, as well as keeping funding from cities that could use it.

During the creation of the national highway system (which, apart from destroying much of the public transport in the country, destroyed many immigrant and black neighborhoods and replaced them with highways), there was a designer in New York City who expressly designed the bridges near his home to be too low for busses to go under to keep black kids from being able to take the bus to the beach near his house. His words, not mine. This funding will go to rural, conservative areas, who hate bikes, buses, trains, and outsiders.

Add in the marriage rate part (which goes hand in hand with the poor and uneducated), and the possibility of repealing gay marriage, and it's obvious to everyone here that this is about denying funding to cities and liberal states, not actually improving communities.
