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.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- 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.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- 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.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I think cops are a bad thing and I agree that this is clever.
Cops are a bad thing... In the US. Also not all cops, even in the US. ;)
Over exaggerated counter example: I guess not all concentration camp guards were evil, wicked people, yet they still participated in a wicked, evil system that oppressed, incarcerated, enslaved and killed people.
Which makes them evil, wicked people.
You do not have to be a bad person or do evil yourself to be a bastard. Your support or even acceptance of a bad system is enough.
Which means all cops are bastards through their participation.
Even those trying to change the system from within?
Unless the copies start shooting ICE when they attack citizens, I’ll maintain that ACAB.
And yet, their actions say otherwise.
This is like saying there are "good" Trump supporters. There are people who don't believe or realize they're fascists, but that doesn't excuse their fascism. The net result on society is negative, so they are all objectively "bad".
