That’s actually really cool! How did it end up like that?

christ

couldn’t have said it better

what does it say about our political system that our choices are “bigot funding genocides abroad and is for racism and systemic injustice at home” and “guy who does the same thing but isn’t as outwardly rude about it”

tumblr isn’t dead??

I find it really funny how canon Flan would absolutely love to be percieved as violent and bloodthirsty like this, despite it not being her actual canon personality

like she’d love being seen as a hyperviolent little freak

communism is when…

people use adblockers, apparently

Russia is very capitalist; like how exactly are they communist at all??

you’re really not going to accept that systematic racism (gentrification, the War on Drugs, racial profiling, job discrimination, etc.) exists unless there’s like literally a law that says “you should be racist” in big colorful letters, are you?

I’m honestly in disbelief that people like you, who think that racism was completely solved in the 60s when King did the famous speech, still exist

yar har

it is 100% a dominance thing

fucking bunch of high schoolers these governments are

why do you think that the US in particular has the responsibility to directly get involved?

it’s not that; it’s that it’s the US doing it for a country halfway across the world, as if we’re actually going there to help instead of taking advantage of the situation because Russia’s involved

if we do go there, it’s not gonna be for aid

you might be surprised by how many people don’t understand this tho

you’re moving the goalposts

someone criticizing the US government isn’t an attack on US citizens; like it’s kind of weird how we identify so hard with the country itself such that the country being criticized feels like a fundamental personal attack

this is a weird take; aren’t police literally the arbiters of said systemically racist policies and laws?

like isn’t that their colloquial job definition?

that’s not the point; the point is to not have a single group dominate the site and to make it easier to avoid bad actors (bigots + fascists, because there’s a lot of that online) by just blocking the instance they live on

the “one single account” thing is a bonus, but definitely not the main reason for federation

tbf, that’s just microblogging in a nutshell

breathtaking

indeed I have seen him

glory be to Cindaquil

but like, why did it take him tanking Twitter for many to realize that he’s just a manbaby with a diamond-encrusted platinum pacifier

like it’s really weird that it wasn’t clear when he called that one guy who saved those kids in that cave a pedophile because the guy told Musk that his invention wouldn’t be useful for the rescue effort; like people didn’t see how shitty he was after he said that
