"Dont tread on me" is escalatory language that endangers the law enforcement officers that are currently breaking the law by treading on you. We may tread more harshly on those using this language.

Next time try saying "Tread on me harder daddy" this is language shows you are benign and docile, and may slow the speed and severity of the tread. Thank you for you compliance.

    I think the Internet still has lots of promise. We just did a capitalism on it. If we can get the cancer out it'll be an amazing thing again.

    But I do think some of that early promise was overestimated because mostly smart people were on it then. We thought it was the medium, but it was just techies or people with hobbies or interest that made it that special place, now that your average Joe is there it's mostly shit, but go somewhere with a little barrier to entry (like Lemmy) and it is pretty cool again.

    They don't want logic. They want a righteous kill.

    I saw someone say the officer's cell phone video wasn't released to clear him, it was released so people could see that the women were being contentious and were lesbians, therefore showing maga it was a good kill.

    It's not about does it make sense. It's "Were they the enemy?" To maga they were.

    This is why I left. I saw post about people being banned from communities for things like that, or saying eat the rich, iD'ing Nazis, calling Palestine a genocide and calling for action. It was clear they had fascist corporate donors to appease and had chosen sides.
