People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- 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.

The absolute certainty on Lemmy that the far left opinion is the only allowable opinion on any topic (that your comment exudes in spades) has actually been very useful to me. For many years I'd started to side more and more with liberal and even some leftist ideas, but Lemmy has been a wakeup call, that I need to examine a lot of that much more critically. I'm not MAGA and I'm not leftist, they're both extremist hate groups. Having a difference of opinion doesn't make the other person a Nazi or human garbage. You write and act just like the racist far right that would post Obama ape memes, but from the other side. No I don't expect you or anyone else on here to be able to be able to admit that right now, because you're too far gone and are a self reinforcing cult bubble. I do hope that at least some people on here someday can wake up and realize "Oh I was really certain about so many things, but now I realize the world is a much more complex and nuanced place. I was wrong. I spread hate and made the world a worse place, but maybe I can do better."
I hope you don't ever have children
I've seen many various kinds of your ilk over the years, but I've never actually met one that wasn't secretly a right-winger in disguise, just poorly trying to make it seem like both sides are equally as bad, when one side openly traffics in child abuse, naked greed, and hatred of the American people.
Carry on as you are. If you end up murdering some people in a violent political rage maybe those decades in prison will cool your head a little.
"Guys, I wish you'd at least hear out the man's reasons for beating his wife; why are you so intolerant?"
Yes, you need to examine everything very very critically. The fact that you think that’s some gotcha is telling. Now that I’m being a dick to you about how you should obviously fucking examine your positions very critically are you not going to do it because I wasn't nice about it? You’re an idiot.
Do you even know how to read? Because you obviously don't understand a word I said.
