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??
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
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
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

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
man, I guess the annual (at least) police killings of unarmed black people (including at least 2-3 children) just didn’t happen?
the government is racist, though
like demonstrably racist
OP wasn’t talking about the average people
