The woke right is really punching thier own nuts

Every dead fascist is a cause for celebration! I hope the next corpse is orange-faced.

Why can't people comment without their name being attached? Just spew your opinion on Reddit or Lemmy under a pseudonym.

For instance, my name isn't really Barney Piccolo. I could say anything I want, and my boss could never connect it to my real name.

Well, mine could, because I'm self-employed, but my boss fully agrees with my political positions.

To be fair, I got permabanned on reddit for saying Charlie Kuck deserved what happened to him.

"I don't have anything to hide" made it acceptable for social media apps to ask for a video of you holding your photo-id when adding username.

I am not even exagerating facebook apparently wants 3 selfies from certain angles in video format and autodetects fake-sounding usernames.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 minutes ago

To hell with that shit.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Nice try, but I know exactly where Piccolo resides and it's next to the hyperbolic time chamber! I have Dende fire your ass!

Imagine living in a country with free speech

Well, they're coming for anonymity as well. The UK identification laws could be used to collect data on theoretically anonymous social media accounts, as it applies to any website that could possibly show a child something "inappropriate", which iirc, includes not just porn but what they consider support for whatever they define as terrorism.

GOP reps have been pushing for similar ID/age checks for a while.

I am not from USA, upvote and i will say it for you

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

eh i'll say it anyway kirk was a weenie

[–] Busyvar@jlai.lu 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Crooks and Robinson are just grumpy Reps, but Donald can't ear it.

[–] Busyvar@jlai.lu 8 points 7 hours ago

Magasphere poisoned public debate far before Kirk's death.

[–] Busyvar@jlai.lu 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Kirk deserves it

[–] Busyvar@jlai.lu 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Nobody needs to hurt far right, they self-regulate with guns.

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 21 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I don't care. Fuck Charlie Kirk. If you agree but don't want to be a target of fascists, just upvote this.

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

FYI upvotes on Lemmy are public.

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 5 points 7 hours ago

It's definitely not a trap.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's not that hard to keep your social media separate from your actual identity. I mean, I'm not posting anything they could use against me on my fucking Facebook. And all my other social media doesn't lead to my real identity in any way.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago

I deleted facebook Jan 2025 and scrubbed everything that was there. Same with reddit. I have a tiktok account just so I can watch videos but post nothing.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

Comment on Kirk all you want. I’ve tried.

There is absolutely no way logic, reason, history, or even the man’s own awful words that will penetrate the thick, fact-resistant, hate-filled skulls of the right. They want blood, they make up completely wild BS about the “violence” of the left, and they don’t want to hear anything about any other shootings that right wingers did.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 97 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

If your company has control over what you're allowed to say, you do NOT, in fact, have a good job.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 42 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I work for the elected officials of my left leaning state government. I think Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit. The violence saddens me, but I am not sorry he is gone. I still have to observe decorum, no matter my feelings.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Never believe that [bigots] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [bigots] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Mm yes, it wouldn't be proper

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Bonus points for allowing us to read that in Miles' voice.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 18 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Decorum forcing people to only say nice things about a piece of shit person because any criticism or expressing happiness that he is gone being misconstrued as supporting the way in which he died is bullshit though.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Being forced to say nice things about him would, indeed, mean you have a shitty job. Consequences for saying negative things about him is different. On social media that's identified with me or easily traced back to me I say nothing about Charlie Kirk. Lemmy, on the other hand...

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No one is forcing me to say nice things about him at work. I just can't openly talk trash about him at my job, which means I say nothing. Even without being in a government job, don't most people avoid politics in the work place anyway? I'm here on Lemmy because my comments can't be linked to my actual life and job.

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Right? We have 1 guy at work who wears his politics on his sleeve. Even people who agree with him avoid him in the office because theres no place for that. The only people i talk politics with are people ive worked with for over 10 years and we have an outside of work friendship

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 9 hours ago

It doesn’t have to be good good. Just good enough to keep your chronically ill child insured.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 26 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

This is why you shouldn’t have social media under your real name lol

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I'd probably be in a lot of trouble now if I were to. It's kind of ironic, because the right used to bitch and moan about the left "canceling everything and limiting free speech". Who's doing that now?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 8 points 9 hours ago

They always have engaged in cancel culture. But it only bothered them when it was against them.

If my company is looking at my Lemmy posts all I can say is what a huge waste of time and resources.

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 24 points 12 hours ago (15 children)

There's a concerted effort by a group of trolls/facists to scrape the web then doxx the commenters and have meemaw and pop pop call customer service crying.

Or to directly contact C suite in cases where that's possible.

Uhhhhhh if you have mainstream social media and are posting on it, I'm sorry but I have no sympathy.

Get off the apps and profit driven social media! It's melting your brain. Plus you are giving money to the absolute worst people ever.

This is the definition of political violence. The right would never settled for being silenced this way.
