A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

The government is literally, and in an official capacity, posting edgy alt right teen discord videos. If I were 15 and a piece of shit again, I’d find this funny.

If you went back two decades and told them the US government would be posting edgy videos and memes on their official Twitter accounts, they'd think you grew a third head.

Bush might take a few seconds to wonder whether he set a course that would lead to the fall of democracy, but would otherwise be unfazed

Bush is too senile (and evil) to give a shit.

Man, some people really always have a rosy ~~propaganda filled~~ picture of US history. Twitter didn't exists 2 decades ago but they were still propagandizing cringe through TV and news media.

Do you think uncle sam was less cringeworthy? Getting riled up to kill brown people abroad was not cringe at all.

Yankistanis will always have their head up theirs. SAD

20 years, 17 years, there's not that much difference.

A decade ago would have been the first Trump Presidency, which wouldn't make for that different of a comparison point.
