People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

No true Scotsman.

Maybe the US never recovered from being a slave-owning British colony. Everyone has their baggage.

The post I was replying to said "Other countries - it’s coming for you. "

Most Lemmy users aren't people using it from former Communist countries that never made the transition to working democracies. It may be coming (or have already come) for Hungary. But it isn't coming for "you", because "you" don't have the problems that Hungary or the USA does.
