RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

Whatever happens next was going to happen eventually anyway. Don't let anyone shift the blame.

First positive influence: his psychotic ass is gone. Second: Republicans finally have a hint of fear, knowing there are actual consequences.

They bet on there being no credible resistance.

Yup. Consequences motherfuckers.

My friend had a great quote while we were talking about farmers suffering under Trump's policies.

"Did these fuckheads think owning the libs was going to be free?"

I love that! Should straight up tell them.

The trouble is often fear is displayed as anger. And when people are experiencing strong emotions, fear included, they behave less predictably and make more impulsive decisions.

I'm worried about the next left demonstration and hope that everyone stays safe.

you're assuming they weren't the ones to do it to create a false-flag event to consolidate magats.

the only fear I have yet to see is from the Democrats. the Republicans are using this as an opportunity to further their agendas.

mark my words. there will be a national political registry before there's a national gun registry.

Yes, read up on the Reichstag fire.

What I find amazing is that there's no civil war yet. I guess the left will just quietly go to their death camps?

dumpy mcshitpants next pls.

The tree of liberty finally got some much needed moisture.

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 14 points 1 day ago
