All day. Usually getting worse over the course of the day. Even a relatively mild hangover in the morning would be killing me by early evening.

Nothing helps it either. I've always eaten before drinking. Staying on top of hydrating while and after drinking has no noticable effect.

Don't be ridiculous, we're not all about to lose our jobs.

That would be way too many protestors to kill.

They'll do it far more slowly, or wait until the ai killbot factories are scaled up.

Hexbear was one of the earliest servers that is now part of the fediverse. It was started after chapo trap house was banned from Reddit.

Users there realized the danger of the rich being able to shut down online leftist spaces well before the first waves of reddit exodus.

They do not put up with the slightest whiff of transphobic bullshit and moderate & ban that crap swiftly.

You may hear some weird takes on the US's global adversaries, but you won't have to put up with weird takes on the US.

Hate speech is intended to encourage violence and dehumanize others. Censoring the word helps build the social taboo that discourages the use of hate speech and helps isolate people who insist on using it.

Adults take responsibility for the effect their words and actions have on the world.

Hate speech is censored to avoid normalizing language intended to encourage violence against the disempowered.

If anything, Mexico has a chance to get back Texas because their immediate neighbors are... yeah.

You're blaming people who shoot their mouths off online for a fascist coup orchestrated by russian and US oligarchs?

Our explanations for the behavior of outsiders say more about our beliefs than theirs.

Even explanations that feel correct to us are almost certainly wrong in important ways.

There's plenty of scholarship on the various reasons people support fascism, that's probably your best chance for a full answer.

70% of OF performers are women - I'd wager that's why people are assuming a female subject.

spiritual whiplash

Some kind of christian or tradwife influencer?

Remember that religion is mostly grifting and the best grifters earnestly believe their patter.

Elon's cash for votes scheme, the amount of russian money and planning on one side, plus there's a decent chance that the fascists just committed direct electoral fraud as well.

It's a fascist coup.

They took control of the judiciary some time ago, they recently seized the executive and now they're destroying any remaining institutional power that can oppose them.

The current regime is not legitimate.

Either there is evidence of ratfuckery, and investigations should already be underway, or there's not and they don't need to be.

Or there are persistent irregularities that stink of ratfuckery but ratfuckers have seized control of the government, so we no longer have any hope of an honest investigation.

Pointing out how likely it is that they did steal the election (it's always projection) is still a valuable way to undermine the legitimacy of the russian backed fascist regime in the US.

Reposting popular material isn't a reddit thing, it's a human thing.

There will always be someone who just discovered that whatever from a couple years ago and likes it enough to post it. The larger the user base, the more common this becomes.

Disgruntled FBI agent returns to "finish the case' 🤞

Its very possible to enrich corrupt elites without taking an axe to the US's strategic position. That would be preferable for securing the wealth of the ruling class in the future.

Of course they want to make the rich richer, but this level of systemic destruction isn't the most efficient way to do that. The damage is clearly part of the goal.

Part of me thinks this is so they have an easy way to drop prices after people get used to everything costing more, but I'm sure it's mostly just trying to destroy the the US's relationship with it's most important allies.

Nothing says guilty as clearly as getting help from trump.

"Thank you for the offer but that doesn't sound like something I would enjoy."

If only Dick Carlson was still alive, we could send 3 generations of grifters through the same guillotine.
