Sorry for getting heated, I initially read it as nitpicking but scaled back my reply when I read it a few more times to fully understand what you were saying.

When I wrote the original comment I was just rattling off the most well known events and I honestly didn’t remember the Vegas shooter having not disclosed a motive or left clues.

At first it seemed like an attempt to derail the conversation but I went and doubled checked all the reporting to make sure I didn’t have it confused. You were right, and I got defensive. I didn’t want the heart of the message to get lost in the combing through of each individual culprits motive.

Either way, the dude was a piece of shit, and there’s 400 more open neonazis committing violence to pull from the database if we really want to make sure all our t’s are crossed and I’s dotted.

Thanks for the reply, and for understanding where I was coming from. I did not mean to come off condescending.

Huge props for putting this together. There is no consensus on eradicating trans people from society, and to assume that position is to out yourself as one of the 87% of Republicans who do agree with criminalized gender expression. Fucking insane we have to have this conversation “as leftists” when the overwhelming majority of the democratic BASE is opposed to passing laws openly discrinating against LGBTQ+ people.

It’s agitation, from outsiders. We need to stop letting this shit slide.

He was basically absent from her life, i don’t think the outcomes could be attributed to musk positive or negative. She obviously had to find her own way with a negligent and abusive parent, who just happened to end up being the richest man in history.

You’re literally looking at it in real time lmao

Famously when the nazis demanded obedience they did so not by making laws outright banning speech. They simply made sure that nobody in any position of power would risk drawing attention and behave accordingly “of his own will”

Its brilliant that a hundred years later people with access to any human in the world just… do the exact same shit Germans did.

From They Thought They Were Free, the Germans 1933 - 1945

[…] "I gave them French and English literature, more so than before, although to do so was one of those vague betrayals of the ‘new spirit’; still, it had not been specifically forbidden. Of course, I always said, to protect myself (but I said it in such a way that I hoped the students would see through it), that the foreign works we read were only a reflection of German literature. So, you see, Herr Professor, a man could show some—some independence, even, so to say, secretly.” “I understand,” I said. “Many of the students—the best of them—understood what was going on in all this. It was a sort of dumb-show game that we were all playing, I with them. The worst effect, I think, was that it made them cynical, the best ones. But, then, it made the teachers cynical, too. I think the classroom in those years was one of the causes of the cynicism you see in the best young men and women in Germany today.”

"Tell me, Herr Hildebrandt, what about [Shakespeare’s]Julius Caesar?”

He smiled very, very wryly. “Julius Caesar? No … no.”

“Was it forbidden?”

“Not that I remember. But that is not the way it was. Everything was not regulated specifically, ever. It was not like that at all. Choices were left to the teacher’s discretion, within the ‘German spirit.’ That was all that was necessary; the teacher had only to be discreet. If he himself wondered at all whether anyone would object to a given book, he would be wise not to use it. This was a much more powerful form of intimidation, you see, than any fixed list of acceptable or unacceptable writings. The way it was done was, from the point of view of the regime, remarkably clever and effective. The teacher had to make the choices and risk the consequences; this made him all the more cautious.”

I, too, have used lemmings as a term to describe users here and I think it’s cute and endearing. We can decide as a group once we’re all at this guys property lmao

Thats crazy work. There was no motive determined bc he was just some psycho gambler with a gun obsession. Who does that sound like? A right winger.

Don’t ask me, go look at the FBI’s own statistics (if they still exist) on domestic terrorism and something insane like 90% of the violent offenses are committed by right wing terrorists. The murders, bombings, and assaults are all overwhelmingly right wing.

The conversation at hand is that terrorism is committed by conservatives who don’t care about the lives of people they don’t view as people. My bad, I forgot that one terrorist hadn’t written a manifesto.

After doing a proud and firm seig heil at cpac, they’re giving him access to their platform and just allowing this shit to be normalized

Is nobody going to ask why Chris cuomo is interviewing Steve bannon along with Gavin Newsome while he’s saying shit like this?

I couldn’t tell you what to do with it but if I move to europe I will work on your commune and help with whatever as long as you’ll have me lol

25 decares is a lot of land, you could have an entire city there. If the land is viable for farming you could allot enough of it to produce whatever you would need to sustain the population of the property, and have the rest of the place developed into living spaces and recreational areas like you said. A sports park, little golf course, botanical gardens, animal sanctuaries. Thats stuff for citizens to do besides meditate.

I mean, this is a real opportunity to create generational prosperity not just for you but for everyone who is involved in building it up. I hope that, whatever happens, you keep it safe from people who would see it turned into more wealthy suburbs or a cash crop operation that kills the soil in a generation.

Good luck to you on your journey and, again, I’d be thrilled to be a part of it

You just, like, dont get it man. He’s trying to have better bad ideas.

You can’t see the vision

600 mass shootings a year. 20+ targeted white nationalist massacres have happened since 2016, including the largest mass casualty event in american history in vegas, and none of those people were terrorists.

Yet, every one of them had a manifesto, and it was covered in every new outlet. No terrorist.

Let’s call it like it is– this is nazi germany now. Brownshirts were deputized eight years ago and people only just made the connection when he pardoned them for trying to help his coup. (Something totally unprecedented and definitely not a direct parallel to weimar germany both allowing Hitler to create a gang of street fighters but also allowing them to do the putsch, and then giving Hitler a three year jail sentence, after which he reassembled the brown shirts and started the SA who then started killing Communists and burning down synagogues once Hitler won the chancellorship)

Oh man this is even better than I hoped

This has to be a speedrun record for the maga->exposed pedo pipeline any%

Do people still calculate mooches?

I joined .world because that was the one recommended to me when I left reddit but as far as I’m aware none of my posts or comments have ever been removed, nor have I gotten any mod mail or warnings so… idk.

Lemmy has been infinitely more open to expression without restriction. Even if one of the instances are ban happy tankies at least I don’t get a sitewide IP ban for correctly pointing out the hypocrisy of worldnews mods allowing genocidal rhetoric as long as it’s against Arabs.

Thank you for your contributions 🫡 I will take the opportunity to learn even if I can’t personally put it to good use at the moment.

I pray every day 🙏 each time I decide to wade back to reddit for a glance at the top trending it’s blatant nazi propaganda on the home page, it’s what inspired me to make this post because reddit has clearly signaled to fascists that they are protected on reddit.

Im getting sent to guantanamo either way boss I might as well make sure a few nazis are gone before they get me

I agree, I’m not saying it shouldn’t be posted but the text of the post reads like this was introduced to the house of Representatives in congress not just in the MN house.

We don’t need to be confusing people into thinking it’s already hopeless, they’re trying this in Minnesota and it will fail.

The fact they’re trying is important to recognize but we also have to point out that it is a single instance and people can go harass the singular state rep who introduced it instead of thinking it’s in congress and there’s no way to contact enough reps to block the bill.

Hope that clarifies my position a bit. Name and shame. Make it clear that this is in a state house. That is where the real evil is going to be commited (states right to what?) But let’s make it so that the people in that state are able to be activated and called to action as opposed to me seeing this in Georgia and thinking “oh great I can’t influence this decision if it’s happening in Washington.”

Maybe I read the article and see it’s for Minnesota, and make the comment saying we should point out it’s just in Minnesota. OR I just read the headline, read the comments freaking out without the context, and go tell my friends “hey congress is introducing a bill to make criticizing trump a mental illness” completely devaluing the actual harm being done by misrepresenting it.

No shade to OP, just trying to be pragmatic.

We should have been doing it a lot more. I might have been fooled into believing america was a great country if we put the actual people committing harm against the country and it’s people on death row instead the guy who killed two people because they’ve been a victim of systemic abuse their entire life. Systemic abuses enabled by the very same capitalists that get fined2% of their profit for creating the conditions for 400 murderers to be forged in this hell-fire.

When the baby formula shortage happened all those ceos should have been on federal trial for crimes against humanity but nooooooo they have a responsibility to shareholders that makes them inculpable for material harm their business decisions caused millions of infants.

At least in China they execute the billionaire that poisons formula for more profit.

I don’t know if this is true on not but in the settings for your account it has a toggle to not allow bot comments to show up. It might only work for people that select the “bot account” option but just in case it’s an auto filter I’d say try it out, I have felt like I’ve not seen bots since moving over from reddit
