    I agree with what you’re saying generally.

    But in the context of X, and Meta too. These are Nazi echo chambers. By design. It’s not an environment generally conducive to getting through to folks.

    If someone was closed-minded, you know around a campfire smoking a joint, I could probably plant some seeds right.

    But on X, I don’t think there’s anything I could say that would cut through their cognitive dissonance.

    Plus, I’d be supporting Musk’s platform by being on it. So fuck that.

    Nazis don’t understand different perspectives. It’s essentially the definition.

    That said, I see value in posting for the peanut gallery (when I encounter Nazis here, I don’t go on Twitter).

    But debating Nazis? Hoping to change their minds?

    Nah, prefer to serve them knuckle sandwiches and go about my day.






  • Donald Trump is authoritarian. Rather or not the United States can keep him in check is a different question

    And since you were so big on being pedantic, scroll back up and see what I said. I said President Trump is an authoritarian.

    He wants to be king, he wants to be like Putin, he admires people like Hitler.

    I’m talking about his attitudes and intentions. Not rather or not the US qualifies as an authoritarian regime. We will find out the answer to that question very soon.

    He’s a toddler who is going to push the boundaries until they break. And if anyone tells him no, he’s going to throw a fit. What happens after that, will answer the question.

    But my initial comment, was about Trump’s character. Not if the union currently qualifies. I think how they start responding to mass protests in the spring will let us know for sure.

    I fully expect state violence and suppression will be the response. At which point you can eat all of your words.
