Yep, left right or center. The kids actual political leanings are irrelevant. Fascists are in control, and like all authoritarian groups. It will be pinned on whatever outgroup they deem necessarily. Regardless of the facts

Lefty ex Mormons absolutely exist. And I’ve met several here. But I think all of them, if they were being honest. Would absolutely tell you that they are the exception and not the rule.

4chan incells constantly say everyone who disagrees with them are too hateful because they push back against what the incells say.

The memes on the bullets weren’t clearly antifa. As others have pointed out they’re ironic cultural re-appropriations by fuentez’s community. Precisely because it muddies things and implicates those they see as enemies. It’s a common, fascist tactic to distort and dilute the meaning of things.

There’s been nothing meaningful and verified found that implicates him as a leftist. No literature, no behavior.Or any meaningful indicators whatsoever. Just speculation from someone at Fox and “LOL memes“.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s been Some information possibly from the other side, such as the Photoshop of him in a Trump shirt that has been proven fake.

No one is trying to portray it as the left not being able to kill or commit acts of terror. Everyone is simply pushing back on clear, transparent, fascist propaganda to victimize innocent people. Justifying the violence, they’re already committing. Had much of the media sphere and the President of the United States not already tried using this as a justification to continue attacking innocent people. I would agree with the caution on assumption of the kids political leanings. But, civilly pushing back against fascists is no vice.

Apparently the only source for that claim was a Fox adjacent person. And they are desperate to frame this in some way about being about innocent people.

I don’t know if it is, it absolutely should be. But I don’t know if it is. Republicans and Democrats have so weakened labor power. And I’m sure the owners will try to point out something in the contract that justifies them doing this no matter how bullshit it is.

Bang!

If peaceful change is possible, then yes, protest should be peaceful. But when peaceful change becomes impossible, violence becomes necessary.

They’re not interested in getting the message. The dog whistles went out a long time ago and there’s no calling them back.

The group behind it or others similar. When you are on a small self hosted instance. You are at the mercy of a hobby admins time and skill. Which is no dig at them. Sometimes it just becomes too much.

I have had a number of Mastodon accounts since 2017 with the groups Mastodon servers. They run themselves as a serious organization. Providing services of a quality absolutely worth paying for. All with donations.

It’s an irrelevant question. Two wrongs don’t make a right. It just makes things more toxic. It’s wrong when the US does it, like anyone else. None of these governments with corrupt centralized power should exist. And this sort of propaganda doesn’t help people.

Hell no. Their magic underwear keeps that from happening.

Yes, 100% this. I use both of them regularly. A lot of new releases are on band camp and not even on discogs anymore. But combined with music brains Picard, they are awesome.

Sadly, there is an ever-ending shit-shoot of potential other candidates to follow. They won’t have to capture his audience or be as “charismatic” as he is. As things fall apart and degrade. They will just crack down as authoritarians do. On innocent people of every stripe.

Yep. The problem with these people is less whom they are. And more how they act. If we act like them. Then we are also the problem.

Vaush, a youtuber like Hasan. It’s commentary mostly. Often sarcastic. Sometimes he will go in depth on certain things or topics. But this is certainly wishful commentary. Not news worthy.

You’re using different terminology. Typically in the US liberal usually means socially liberal/progressive. Not economic liberalism. They’re technically right. But the slang redefinition of the term due to decades of fascist propaganda definitely muddies discussions. As intended.

Doesn’t help with the general lack of education on the topic. You have to stay constantly vigilant to not talk passed eachother because of it.

I never denied the issues with countries often aligned with the western sphere of influence. Up above I specifically stated otherwise.

I brought up Russia and China specifically to point out it’s not a “west” thing. So keep the baseless tankie colonial mindset accusations to yourself.

My entire last sentence is literally about solidarity with Russian/Chinese citizens. Just not their government or ours.

The russian government has a long history of doing it. So it’s certainly not a suggestion out of left field.

Most definitely, unquestionably. Everyone is doing it to everyone else realistically and it needs to stop. But it won’t. So we need to be aware to avoid being manipulated as much as possible.

Depends on your needs and goals. Traditional art etc Krita is solid. Runs everywhere. Windows Mac Linux Android and iOS. There are some more focused on pixel art like pixieditor. And still more focused on vector art like inkscape.

No, the “west” isn’t. The global bourgeoisie wealthy are. Russia and China are each arming and committing genocide. It’s not an east west thing. East/West is a divide and conquer tactic to keep you from solidarity with those that would be allies and brothers.
