I see your account is brand new. Whether you’re a Russian or Chinese operative, a MAGA propagandist, or just extremely gullible, the Fediverse is probably not the place for you.

But the oligarchs sweep crumbs off their table for us! Surely if we put more food on their table there will be more crumbs for us!
It’s infected with Denuvo malware so I’ll pass.
It’s bad faith trolling. They are simply trying to waste the time of their opponents. Here is a quote from Sartre about anti-semite nazis from nearly 100 years ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Oh no, it Grok accidentally hallucinating genuine facts?
Here is our website.

Literally everything a generative AI outputs is a hallucination. It is a hallucination machine.
Still, I like this fix. Let us erase AI.
They were always going to blame it on the left. Facts don’t matter to rightists, only keeping control of their followers. All of Lemmy called it the moment the assassination happened.
The game is grossly overpriced and infected Denuvo malware. Those things are all symptoms of Randy Pitchford being involved. I’ll pass.
Give me Ubports and an easy way to buy it in North America and we have a deal.
This assumes that men ever lift the seat. I’d prefer it be left up so that there is at least a chance I can sit on a dry, piss-free seat. Lowering a seat is preferable to the alternative.
Executions of the right need to be celebrated, because they won’t receive justice any other way.
I understand this feeling, but by going this route you are playing right into their plans and helping them consolidate their power. All rightism, all authoritarianism, is built around fear. They make their followers fear the out-groups, irrationally at first. That fear is used to perpetuate political violence against the out-groups, and any resistance as used as evidence against them. This fear radicalizes the followers, encouraging them to commit violence, which is again blamed on the out-group victims. Eventually, we reach a Turning Point where outrage can no longer be contained, and it does not matter which side does what, because all violence is the fault of the out-group. We now teeter on that Turning Point, and celebrating Kirks execution feeds the machine the fascists have built.
Unfortunately, people are being targeted not for celebrating his death or violence, but for merely decrying the lionization of that vile, neo-nazi fascist with his own quotes. Still, oppression of the out groups breeds desperation, which drives them to desperate measures, and the right act of desperation is all the excuse the fascists need. If not that, then a crackdown on protestors that they can turn ugly.
Better to play smart and not feed into their plans. At the very least it buys time that can save lives.
Being a racist, bigot, fascist, or nazi is not an innate human characteristic, it is behavior. Even in countries that do not have insane loopholes in their freedom of expression the concept of hate speech is stringently defined. Calling out someone’s evil, malicious, dangerous, violent actions is not hate speech. Speaking out against hate speech is not hate speech. This is yet another example of rightist reality reversal rhetoric at work.

@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world is being satirical, but this is a genuine and dangerous thought process for rightists. Every time one of their own practices what they preach and commits a violent atrocity that is not immediately acceptable to their party (like the assassination of the Hortmans or attempted murder of the Pelosis), that person is automatically a “leftist.” The reason they can never provide any definition for “leftism” is because they have no idea. To them, leftism is “everything bad” and “anything bad” is automatically leftism. It’s a catch-all bogeyman term for political out-groups that can’t be easily sorted into skin color, sexuality, or genitalia.
Here is an archive of the DOJ site in question. They had to be sure they took it down before Vance hopped on Kirk’s nazi podcast to spout lies claiming the opposite of objective reality.
I love this. Your comment and questions warm my heart.
Let me show you darkness. There are people that view queer love as evil or contemptible, not only “lesser than” straight love. This comic plays on that idea by shifting the other direction. If straight love is “normal” and cute, then queer love is “radical” and defiant. This is the joke.
Radicalized by neonazis, fell for a trans girl, committed the right wing terrorism he was groomed to commit.
Making your first queer friend doesn’t suddenly make a person a leftist, nor does it make their violence leftist.
