I tried to switch to Mastodon a few times in the past, before the twitter issues were even happening and I could just never get into it.
And you're right, the only reason I was ever on twitter is because I was following artists that weren't anywhere else. Now I'm not on there and some of those artists never moved platforms because it was a hassle for them to and they risk losing their audience when they move platforms cause you can never just expect people to follow you as an artist.
How do we fix the insecurities of alt right white supremacists who spend their free time getting off on antagonizing people for the sake of upsetting someone?
Some of them even want someone to try and fix them so they can use that for their own personal entertainment.
Something I learned about the Rwandan genocides in 1994 is that comparing humans to insects is one of the first steps of genocidal ideology.
I'm not sure what you're talking about in regards to what I was saying?
Some people do things like this under the idea that you should keep your enemies close. Like you should always know your enemy and in order to do that, you have to be right there, listening to what the enemy is saying.
i meant that the person i know is not qanon
Part of this is bad phrasing because you are unaware of the movement but no one knows who Qanon is.
What people are talking about in this thread are people who follow the movement, and not who Qanon is. Of course your friend isn't Qanon. That would be absurd.
But how do you know they aren't posting on 4chan and following the movement? Is that what you are trying to say, that they don't follow that sort of thing because you think its a movement that solely rooted in American politics?
i don’t think we have those kind of people here in asia
qanon is a 4chan/8chan thing that is part of www - that includes people posting from Asian countries. There are definitely Asians on there. There were definitely Asians who went along with that movement.
I'm Asian too. Has nothing to do with the qanon movement.
Wow… Maher on Rogan.
Can we pause and talk about how Maher is wearing a fucking Family Guy Star Wars shirt.
I immediately assume that once someone brings up Joe Rogan they are easily susceptible to authoritarian propaganda and should be avoided.
What if they're just talking about his previous acting career?
I use a ceramic pan mostly and try to stay away from nonstick and teflon because that can scratch over time and get into food.
I also have an issue with rinsing out dishes. I'm worried there is still going to be soap so I just rinse things over and over.
Yeah, when I think of left wing politics, I think of like abortion rights, social issues.. that sort of thing.
On that note, I hate question dodgers. Especially since I work online chatting with customers, and I'll ask them something direct, like "when were you meant to receive this check" and they fucking come back with "So my check is missing"
Like damn, fuckhead. I am already aware your check is missing. Definitely not what I asked. And I can't tell if they are just that brand of dumb or if they're being difficult on purpose.
