'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.'

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

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours 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.

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 14 hours ago

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

Ah yes, X, definitely full of real people and not a propaganda machine

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 22 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

As long as people quote their shit it will never stop. I never had an X account, never visit the site and ignore all shit that comes from there. It's totally simple and easy.

REAL .. FVCKING ... EASY... 😑

Me either, Twitter just seems stupid as fuck from the get go

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Twitter was really good for following bars and music venues to check happy hours and concert dates. Not much use beyond that.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago

Totally. Like most (anti-)social media. I avoid them hard. Yes, Lemmy kinda is, too. I know 😁

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I was just wondering what countries those people are from.

BTW I'm not american lol

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Lol so funny

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours 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.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago

"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"

Paid troll accounts and bots?

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 28 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

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.
