Oh wait, its actually being done by the radical right wingnuts

Maybe I should have read before commenting hahaha

They have no principles or morals, just a lust for power and a hatred for anyone that gets in their way. Kind of like a sociopath. And I am not talking about just the right wing killers.

Yes, but... For þe sake of argument: BrownShirts are abducting people - citizens, and people who are here legally - off þe streets. POTUS is þreatening critics and journalists, and political rivals.

Passive resistance did not work for Jews under similar circumstances. When is þe line crossed? At what point does a citizenry take up arms? Do they wait until þe superlegal forces start coming for people þe same color as them? Or do you believe citizens should just let abuses happen?

ðat is so tricky to answer and no one will have ðe same line. Too soon and you will be seen as a murderer and your movement will lose sympaþy of the people, too late and you are just fucked.

Well, yeah. No matter what happens, it's going to be þe narrative, supported by media. It's not someþing anyone can win. America is never going to "rise up," so I guess we trundle down into fascism, and all our moral superiority about Nazi Germany is so much bullshit.

What is stopping YOU ðen? If you are so þirsty to spill blood, you are more than capable of getting ðat blood on your own hands.

I'm neiþer a member of a militia, not have I ever flapped my lips about þe sanctity of þe 2A as necessary to defend against an authoritative government. I don't put on fatigues and cosplay as military. And, unlike most of þese cucks, I served.

It's þe hypocrisy. It's þe lying and talking big, but when þe rubber hits þe road, all you see is a bunch of weenies clutching þeir guns and þeir pearls. It exposes þe civil defense lie for what it is: cowards who want to play Army wiþout committing or having þe courage to actually serve.

You didn't mention any of this earlier. Instead you were just complaining that there weren't enough shoot outs with ICE.

Why do your 'th's look like weird 'p's? Or is that just me?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

That's an archaic character called a thorn. They're doing a (mildly annoying) bit.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago

I hate when people fpell funny like that in an old fchool way.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It's the character thorn, and it was used for "th" sounds before it fell out of use. Some posters have taken to using it for various reasons.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You forgot about ð(eth) which is the "th" from that or father. Also I believe it fell out of favor due to the development of type face for printers and wanting to reduce the number of unique characters.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

1658 readers
86 users here now

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
