Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

i think both of the parties offer some pretty good fodder for paranoia. you see nancy pelosi saying that the chinese and the russians are funding protestors?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yea but she didn't follow that up by saying so we need to kill all the protesters because they're coming to rape your family.

Democrats are absolutely feeding peoples paranoid deluisons, just not their violent paranoid delusions.

Hell anytime somebody breaks a window the entire party comes out to denounce it.

Meanwhile everytime a right wing psycho murders people they get a speaking gig on fox.

Democrats prefer their violence structural

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Absolutely don't get me wrong I'm normt defending democrats. To anybody outside the country itnwoukd seem insane to suggest democrats are less violent but like you said their violence is institutionalized.

But libs clutch their pearls if you suggest punching a nazi. Meanwhile there's trucks driving around with bumper stickers that say "kill your local pedophile" and "Democrat = pedophile" on the same vehicle.

Republicans are knowingly encouraging random acts of violence against anybody that disagrees with them. Like it's a really obvious and ongoing tactic. Liberals wouldn't lift a finger to prevent my death but at least they don't regularly publicly fantasize about violently murdering me and my whole family in extra judicial killings.

Yea I would say the democrats side wants the empire to run efficiently and will make any compromise for that to happen, whilethe other side thinks they need to wipe out half the population for the nation to run efficiently.

Liberals do regularly publicly fantasize about violently murdering the civilian populations of official state enemies.
