'Rummler is now blind in his left eye, his tear duct has been destroyed and the “flaps of my eye are barely holding on,” he said. Doctors found pieces of plastic and glass in his skull as well as metal in his stomach lining, and “pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel from my eye,” he said.'

Lol so funny

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes it is. Have you not heard of all the large organizations and government just now beginning to question their use of it.

"Most tweets, especially those that are surfaced by The Algorithm and not your follows, are quite likely created by someone with their own interests" does not imply "No real users/organisations exist there"

Nazi website. Nazi comments.

Is that Threads? If so, f**k Threads. I participated around election time. It was overrun (and probably silently still is) with reich wing troll farm tools and bots. The month or two leading up to the election saw a flood posts that were outright lies regarding grocery prices, gas prices, housing prices, racist, AI images JAQing off, immigration and a dozen other easily verifiable hotbutton issues that were twisted up into lies.

And as soon as trump won?

Dead f***ing silence. They all went dark.

I deleted my account. It’s every bit the cesspool of bots and trolls as Twitter is.

Paid troll accounts and bots?

Some are bots, but some are also psychotic nazi scum.

The world has a nazi problem and we need to treat them like the cancer they are; like our grandparents did, and would have wanted us to.

Paid? These fuckers are pieces of shit for the love of the game.

Authoritarian followers love to justify violence. It's just what they do.

It is crazy how hard the far right simps for the secret police

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

and how bravery, like putting yourself in harms way to protect others, seem repulsive to them. they are complete cowards

Indeed - it’s a psychology that watches Starship Troopers, or plays Helldivers II, and unironically chants the over-the-top, jingoistic slogans present therein, completely unaware that the slogans as well as large parts of the game/movie itself is pointed satire.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

they just want to be able to do carnage and violence without consequences. but they are in fact, massive cowards

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

They're incels. They love it when someone fucks them. Doesn't matter in what context.

[–] moopet@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

If I was on whatever that site is, it'd be a handy list of people to block.

What is the first reply trying to say?

[–] destructdisc@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The first one (which is one of the most recent ones) is likening the other replies to the kind of genocidal, demented comments Zionists make about Palestinians

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Ah that makes more sense, forgot Twitter thread order is reversed.

Wanted to vibe check the Pakistan flag and make sure it was actually a Pakistani
