The way you say that makes me doubt your claim that you weren’t smiling when you said that to the guy. And being an ass to bad people (or those you claim are bad) still makes you an ass.

Shared by the Elm Fork John Brown Club on Twitter, one of the ones caught up in this mass-reporting campaign. Over 5000 “antifa” accounts to be removed from the site.
@Ciaran, I have no doubt it’s due to the way the algorithm is set up on Twitter; the far-right knows how to exploit it. Add to the fact that for some reason big far-right accounts seem immune to mass-reporting.
ETA: here are some excerpts from the list. Some of these aren’t even “antifa” in the black bloc sense; just left wing.

Honestly, at this point all left-leaning people should just leave Twitter on their own accord. Like someone in this thread said, social media sites that are populated only by right-wing nutjobs never get very far because without left-leaning people left to troll or harass, they get bored quickly.

Keri Lake is filing suit against Maricopa County alleging voter disenfranchisement.
Ironically the right fell victim to their own laws, as Republican passed voter restrictions in Arizona led to a lot of the problems election day voters faced there.
And with Dems almost sweeping the top tickets, Republicans will be unable to crack down on mail-in and early voting.
Meaning that dems will likely continue to over-perform in early counts for years to come.

Well, I wouldn’t say bored. More like turn on each other and move further right. It’s like watching a star in its final stages of life, fusing anything until it can’t and implodes.

It gets worse. Musk has openly been shmoozing far right Twitter accounts, up to and including admitting that many of their bans were in fact victims of an algorithm meant to target them.
One employee, now fired of course, said the algorithm targeted the usual of hate speech/bigotry/bots etc.

In some good news, Warnock has three times the cash on hand as Walker, and absolutely eclipses him in terms of individual donor numbers. He also continues to maintain a 4 to 5 point lead in the polls, higher than his lead going into the midterm.
Walker has made few appearances, and his most recent campaign ad has been flamed hard for being anti-trans only days after the Colorado mass shooting.
Without the coattails of up-ballot Republicans, he’d likely need either a decent polling advantage or huge cash advantage to win. He has neither.
Warnock has the benefit of incumbency, a big cash cushion, lots of in-person appearances, a polling lead beyond the margin of error, and the history that the one who led before the runoff usual wins.
And of course there’s the fact that Republicans went full “useful minority man” on Walker and have sphioned off fuckloads of money from his campaign for their own ends.
Republicans have basically abandoned Walker as a candidate and he only exists now as a fundraising tool. Meanwhile, dems have poured money and resources to boost Warnock.

Net favorability of industries by political party.
How Dems have a more favorable view of the tobacco industry, which has killed tens of millions in the last 50 years, is something I’ll never understand.

Putting aside the irony of Europeans complaining about yankees profiting off war while owing their continued existence and high living standards and life expectancy to the ongoing plundering of their former colonies in Africa and the Middle East (and doing absolutely nothing for Ukraine; not even Poland or the Baltics are doing shit for them), I don’t think I have ever seen more evidence than this that the continent has never been more globally and politically irrelevant than it is now.

Rules and moderation designed to reduce the amount of ‘hate speech/bigotry/bots’ on a site does tend to specifically target people who post ‘hate speech/bigotry/bots’.
It’s almost as if the people trying to post shit like that are the bad guys.

I’m surprised that Democrats like TV more than Republicans.
[Europeans] owing their continued existence and high living standards and life expectancy to the ongoing plundering of their former colonies in Africa and the Middle East
Implying that all Europeans live in countries that had colonies. Stating that somehow those countries are getting majority of their wealth from their former colonies and if they didn’t, they would cease to exist… I guess at least you are more subtle than IWTCIEM.

“Assault rifle” has a specific definition. Media don’t want to misuse it. But “assault weapon” has no definition, so you can make your own definition.
  • You can say that Glocks are assault weapons because they are semi-auto.
  • You can say that they aren’t because they are pistols or because they are meant for self defense.
  • You can say that some AR-15 clone is not an assault weapon because it has wooden parts and a fixed, 10-round magazine.
  • You can say that it is because it’s an AR-15 clone or because it shoots the AR-15 round.
  • You can say that some single-shot shotgun is an assault weapon because it was made to look like a Kalashnikov and has a skull painted on it, so it’s clearly meant to be used for violence.
  • You can say it isn’t because it’s clearly meant for hunting or because reloading is slow.

Even if Eastern Europe wasn’t as empire-obsessed or slavery-friendly as the West (apart from Russia and to an extent Hungary, and Russia were generally more West-friendly anyway; Hungary was also friendly with the West until they unified with Austria, and…you know the rest), the racism and homophobia there is so awful (I remember seeing one Polish nationalist tweet an image of an anime character wearing a Polish flag or uniform pointing at a guy in an Iraqi flag being lynched and smiling in approval, in case you want a taste of them as human beings) that they might as well be smeared with the rest of the West.
