It's not crime if your collar is white

Holy shit they're moving fast. Just a few months ago the gap was about a decade.

But reading through these I think that's because Ive always defined myself as a "liberal" but I think I just conflated that word with "left"

Based off a lot of what I read here, I actually am considering joining the instance because I do agree with the sentiments and I do want to educate myself beyond what I've been taught in the very flawed US public school system and the headlines I'm fed daily.

Lib successfully owned

We say "own the libs" specifically for this reason. It's never alone, and always followed up by dozens and dozens of good faith posts and responses that attempt to peel back the "liberal" facade. Owning libs isn't owning people, it's getting people to abandon the fence and actually come to terms with or reveal their ideological positions.

The two options are either "oh shit, you're making good points and I'm going to pay more attention" and "fuck you, we need more genocide". Without fail we either convert fence sitters or force fascists to reveal themselves.

Hexbear is the Thing test for Lemmy instances. Which is why you should be weary of any instance that defederates us. Especially because the reasoning of "oh were niche" is bullshit seeing as how we have an active mycology comm and I've never brought up a topic there that didn't have people engage with me.

The fact that we're so ideologically consistent and coherent and have diverse interest groups is what scares fash. Because we can come into your Warhammer miniature comm, talk circles around you in your own topic and also call out the fact that you painted a panzer division emblem on one of your Repulsor models and then drag you out of the community kicking and screaming.

Hard to see anything but trees when you're in the forest

Anyone who actually likes cars should want cars to be less of a primary mode or transportation. Less traffic makes for a much more enjoyable driving experience.

All they had to do was check up on him. Take his guns if he wasn't healthy. Maybe monitor him for a while. No need to murder him in his own home.

Not that I agree with him or anything, but I do think that cops shouldn't show up to your home unannounced and summarily execute you when all you've done is post.

Just basic slurs apparently.

You know, the really important part of free speech.

Because that would be the same as Russia winning!
