Pretty much every time I stumble across a post from tumblr, yeah.

Gone, maybe. Forgettable, hopefully, but never forgotten. Forgetting just means someone new will repeat it.

“that orange freak” suffices

Well, a known fascist tactic is making examples out of randomly chosen people who allegedly said the wrong thing in the wrong place. The amount of noise doesn’t matter in that case. They’ll just pick people at random they can persecute publicly in an attempt to scare everyone into clamming up and obeying.

At that point, there is no point in censoring yourself, because they will target you randomly regardless. At that point, there will be no point in saying or not saying anything online, because the only recourse will be [removed by lemmy.world admins] until the last one is [removed]

The US government and its oligarch pals has so much data on each of us already that if you haven’t been completely sanitary with your internet usage from the start, you’re already in a database, and there’s no point in worrying about it now.

I agree with the sentiment of this post, but let’s face it: if we get to the point where they’re sending secret police to everyone who ever said “fuck Trump” online, we’re beyond fucked, and electronic defenses will be moot at that point. Using euphemisms for Trump and Musk won’t save you from their surveillance.

Right now, it’s important to be outspoken about every one of their abuses, to name and shame them for as long as it’s still allowed, because the moment it’s not, there won’t be anything left to defend.

He eats bad guys.

It’s far too late for all of my accounts already, and I’m not going to waste my time going back through them and scrubbing every instance of me talking about how Elon Musk buries his four inch cock up to the balls in Donald Trump’s throat while Jeffrey Bezos pegs them both with Clint Eastwood’s Oscar statues every other Sunday, but he’s not allowed to cum unless Vladimir Putin says so over the Zoom window he watches from.

So long as people are starving under the system while others have yachts, the system is unethical, and thus following its rules – insofar as they perpetuate this inequity – is unethical.

Theft from the wealthy is morally right, period.

You are declaring that downvoting is “psychotic behavior”? Am I understanding you correctly here?

Most people don’t actually use downvotes as a method of personal attack, but rather as a calibration. They see something they don’t want to see, they click the down arrow like someone turning down the volume on the TV.

You really shouldn’t take downvotes personally. They aren’t meant to be personal, and most people don’t use them that way.

can’t handle negativity in others

posts a long negative rant

It happened!

Go on a pitbull-lovers subreddit and suggest that all their dogs should be put down. You’ll get a site wide ban for “promoting violence” right quick.

If someone’s job is to cause death and suffering and they profit from it then yeah maybe they should face the same.

Calling what this guy did for a living “just a job” is absurd.

There’s no edge here, man. It’s mainstream now. This guy is turning into a bona fide folk hero.

I honestly hope he’s never caught, but that’s not very realistic. The only real bright side to his inevitable capture is that we’ll know what name and face to put on the statues.

Some will bring up the “slippery slope” as a reason for us to treat this guy within the legal system as we would any other killer. I would respond to this people that we’re already barrelling headlong down a greasy slope and have been for a long time now.

Far from endangering is further, maybe this guy has shown us an offramp.

Maybe it’s time to admit that you are bad at this and you should do something else besides trying to run a business. It’s clearly not your forte.

This is pretty good satire, and I gotta give you props for sticking to the bit, LunchMoneyThief.
