Sowing DEI division after tragedy: =>1 of these posters has to be a paid actor right?
What sort of asinine take is "Boat hit bridge? DIVERSITYYYYYYYYYY!" shaking fists
Woke gay boat attacks white chad bridge 😡
Anytime there's a bad accident in my city that gridlock traffic, there's a guy at work who rants about how illegal immigrants cause it all. Apparently they can swim, but they can't drive.
Probably the same shit here. Some brown people crashed a couple planes into some towers when he was in middle school, ergo all brown people are bad drivers.
It literally doesn't even matter. The core anti-woke crowed openly do not care about reality or sense.
They have committed to their "side" and just go full shitpost circlejerk on it like these posters are doing and support other people doing the same, because all the "game" is to them is "other side bad" and that's literally it.
The only one they have. They make up a problem in their heads and then get mad about it.
Its always funny to see when the right-wingers learn a new word that is vaguely left-ish, only to proceed with throwing it around everywhere.
Makes them easier to spot.
Whatever, you woke LGB123+ virtue signaler. You just can't handle my alpha red pillness!
/s
Conservatives stomp the meaning out of any phrase which threatens them.
DEI?
Diversity, Equity, Illuminati.
I might be wrong about one of those 😛
The first two were enough to infer the I, which I assume is inclusion.
I knew the trans agenda was to get rid of bridges. Wakeup sheeple!!!2!!?
Some might be paid actors, but i bet a lot are just brain rotted morons.
That’s why it’s headed by the department of trans portation
Yeah those police officers would have 100% done an Olympic dive off the bridge and started fishing people out if only we hadn't defunded them with BLM
Only 3 total Baltimore PD left. How did this fly under the radar?
Note that Baltimore never defunded the BPD. In fact it got a funding increase and a marketing boost so that it promises to protect and serve better.
Considering an officer clip-dumped at an unarmed man in November 2023, the BPD seems as robustly killology-ready as ever.
Note that no law enforcement department or agency has been defunded since the George Floyd incident. Not even Minneapolis where the city council voted to do so. (They got cold feet after pressure from the police unions.) Some cities are creating new alternative responder teams to handle mental health situations. Oakland, California, for instance, now has a department of first responders trained to handle and deescalate mental-illness-related crises who are directed by 911 emergency dispatch, but this hasn't reduced the budget of the police. (Oakland is also one of the municipal areas with an elevated officer-involved homicide rate).
Unfortunately the radar is manned by DEI hires :(
They could have saved someone from drowning by shooting them, but they defuned bullets too.
The bridge wasn't coloured in LGBTQ+ colours so the captain couldn't see it until collision was inevitable. The solution is to paint every bridge in the US in Pride Colours.
Where and how do I vote for you?
Hey, well unfortunately I am also a foreign shill, my platform is "Make America Canada Again".
Justin Trudeau has me select his choice of socks every Saturday and pays me 2 sticks of maple toffee/tire sur la neige per propaganda piece.
If it’s on twitter, it lacks value regardless of the message or quality. Don’t support the largest hate speech aggregator currently available.
Not mine btw - and based on just one of the tweets being in dark mode, my source was probably already secondary.
One of the big reasons the downfall of birdsite is so disappointing is the significant value remaining in at least select niches. There are still some voices there not represented on the fediverse. Sad.
The one thing that I appreciate about twitter’s interface is how transient its information is. If people, twitter’s only actual commodity, can be convinced to move then very little is lost in the transfer. No clue why mastodon isn’t gaining ground faster considering its relatively massive userbase. It should have reached a tipping point already.
Some of these feel like actual bot posts, not just paid botposting.
"too busy with violent crime calls to show up to the Baltimore Harbor Patapsco River Bridge is gone."
Seems like a scraper picked up on the collapse and tried to insert it in, but the syntax is wrong.
Could also just be a non-native speaker.
Just seems odd to me.
Yeah and besides, what the fuck are the cops going to do if they did respond to it? Swim out there and catch the boat? They'd have watched it hit the bridge just like everyone else.
I read somewhere that the ship send out a mayday when they lost propulsion hoping the cops could clear the bridge. If the poster was a steaming pile of shit I would assuming they were trying to imply something along those lines.
And the police did stop traffic from getting onto the bridge. Listening to the police audio [0], it sounds like they were in position almost immediately after the request came in. Having said that, I don't think they were quite fast enough for the traffic already on the bridge to get off.
If they had responded faster, they might have made it in time for the one officer to be on the bridge evacuating the workers when it collapsed. With the benefit of hindsight, that would have accomplished nothing except 1 more death.
I'm often pretty critical of police, but I see absolutely nothing they could have done better in this case.
I'm suspicious of the timing of these posts, because I was bored enough to listen to "conservative" talk radio yesterday and I heard the repugnant outrage jockeys parroting the same stuff about DEI programs before the boat crash. They were talking about how everything is being ruined by diversity programs. They went on a tangent about how bad government websites are and one of them said "must have been a diversity hire" who built those crappy websites. I was a bit shocked at that blatant nonspecific racism.
It was baffling how they put so much energy into hating that stuff. Now I'm wondering if they were on a similar script to the trolls posted here.
I hope it was a bot, but only because I don't want to believe that actual humans are that stupid. Like, assuming it was even true that fewer cops showed up... What exactly were they supposed to do? Shoot at the bridge for resisting arrest?
I think they just used newlines instead of periods for some reason
Straight-up "the Jews did this." That's where the American right is, right now.
As a Jewish person I can confirm that the right pretends to love us up until they actually meet us, then they realize how left wing we are and how fascist they are
My guy, you and I both wish the divide was that reliable.
Are we 100% sure those are even persons running the accounts, and not LLM bots trained on the worst Twitter Threads imaginable?
Good lord does twitter suck.
A shame it's the bad kind of sucking
I can't tell the difference between paid actors and actual white nationalists
They're both the same in the end
Is [minority] why a ship crashed? That being said, the USA has ceased to be a serious country as the bottom right post said, but not for the reasons they think
I just can't believe that after all this time, this a ship was finally able to hit and knock down a bridge. Its about time that we started building ships sturdy enough to sink a bridge instead of the other way around! I'm glad that after a millennia of supremacy, boats are finally fighting back against the bridge menace!
Are these anti-white business practices in the room with us right now?
People can be stupid for free. In fact, they're the best people to sell right wing ideology to. And overpriced food supplements that will make you a real man.
Literally none of those statements are logically valid.
I spy with my little eye, a few Russian bots that are looking to influence my state of mind.
...sort of
I am glad these people are open about how they think because then I can avoid hiring them or working where they work
It was a fucking boat accident, clowns
These are actually new? I could have sworn they were the same posts from other stuff either last year or the year before with the place name changed. I know I've read that blm one almost exactly before this.
Indoneesian capitalists?
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
