I said that I hope Elon Musk dies. Didn’t say anything about how he dies. I just hope that he does.
This is my third ban in the past couple months, all for the same reason; I hope Elon Musk dies.

It’s happening here too. The clowns at 50501 keep thinking they’re going to shut down nazis with signs and slogans, tell them differently, even politely, your comment will be removed, or you will be banned. Absolute clowns watching their last chance at freedom bleed away with a stupid sign in their hands. jfc.
Or maybe the people who are planning more than holding signs aren’t stupid enough to talk about it on a public forum.
And the people who run the instances don’t want to be shut down or get in trouble for shit that you’re saying in THEIR house.
Unless you created the instance, you are a guest in someone else’s space. Be respectful.
This is why I’m personally convinced it’s astroturfed.
They should be spending time building community that does something other than make signs. Like, you know, Mutual Aid Groups. Community gardens. Medics for the community.
Instead they’re going to piss away precious time telling themselves their protests are doing something.
The largest worldwide protests in history (at the time) preceded the War in Iraq, to try to prevent the War in Iraq.
The war happened anyway. Nobody learned anything.
Yeah I 100% agree. Protests do absolutely nothing. It’s legal for instance to drive someone to get an abortion. It’s legal to organize a union or organized interest/lobbying group. In the illegal space, if you are of the drug dealer affinity, get people their abortion pills and hormone therapies (and cheap GLP-1s and insulin while your at it). Get ready to hide people in your attic like people did during the nazi’s. Organize offline and “clean” interest groups that can share information by word of mouth, and meet in public not on zoom, because all online activity is monitored.
I don’t believe anyone can organize to directly confront the police/military or institutions that are defended by the police/military. Actual disobedience needs to be in the shadows.
I think socialists and liberals would both benefit from having more politically filtered in-person interest groups. A. to bring people out of their online bubble, B. to associate leftism and liberalism with community and fun, and C. so the community building offline is there since online is a surveillance medium. video games, sports clubs, etc. ESPECIALLY in spaces that are currently right leaning.
