Saw a Bluesky person introducing themselves by saying "probably lefter than you". Made me think about what that means. On social media, "left" seems to be conflated with goodness. I might not be smarter than you, but I am a *better person*. I *care more* about other people.

The anarchists who did not vote are once again going to give him what he wants, violence on the streets so that he can ramp-up the response. Sure would like Americans to adopt the model of the yellow umbrella protests in Hong Kong.

Some people are just primed to follow the leader, be it Drump or Thunberg. Not me. I respect those often unnamed people who work hard to make the world, or at least their communities, a better place. I have no time for performative influencers.

Daily reminder that you and the people you care about are not important, according to Rebekah Jones.

Everything is fucking depressing

Rebekah must be feeling pretty smug as "the West" is being ripped apart in LA. Not so great for those of us who just want a peaceful life.

I see tactics of Hong Kong protests are one again shared on the internet. I am glad there is a legacy from our struggle that still inspires others today.

Okay, you were right, I am enjoying the genocide taking place in the White House.

Sure is disheartening how adults take a little information and hastily draw an ill-informed opinion.

I am on so many block lists that if you see this you are part of an elite group of superior Bluesky users. Congratulations 🌟

If people in the US had elected Harris we would be watching some *very* interesting trials start right now. Instead, more crime and rapidly increasing abuses of himan rights.

Rebekah Jones did not like me sharing her comment. "Free Palestine or rip the West apart". So, I share it again.

I have noticed a trend where people try to bully others in to caring about specific issues that are out of their sphere of influence. "Are you even human, bro?" I choose what I care about and I choose what I don't care about. Self-righteousness is a very unattractive quality.

The sensible centre is the place to be in a world where anarchy and extremism is loosed upon the world (and occupies the White House).
