A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

We need to teach him to be scared of us.

He made a bunch of his cars bulletproof and even a couple that can withstand a chemical attack. I think he's been scared the whole time.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

His personal cars or do you mean the cybertruck? Because if it's the latter then it's not quite as bulletproof as advertised.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good luck. He can afford a personal army to protect him.

With military-grade weapons? I doubt it.

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With how loosy-goosy the US is with weapons purchasing? There's a chance.

There's also a chance that Musk's security forces will spray bullets into the crowd from sniper positions.

If that ever happened, itd push the guillotines out overnight.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure it would. Just like all the other "if this happens, the guillotines will come out" events where that didn't occur when it happened.

I don't disagree with you that society as a whole has become spineless. People who stand up in defense of anything morally correct are rarely backed up anymore.

That being said, the scenario you put forth is a huge leap from the slow suffocation that is currently happening. A billionaire/CEO/tyrant/shadowpresident spraying bullets into an innocent crowd is a huge leap that would be neigh impossible to not have people lose their shit over.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Your average billionaire? Sure. Elon? He would probably enjoy it and then make jokes about it on Twitter.

Yeah him to hold still until the end of time.
