I have blocked one trolling MAGA. They wanted to play adolescent boy games and name call, hardly a dialogue. I encouraged everyone in the conversation to block them too. MAGA has had too much airtime. “Cancel Culture”, hell yes!
Lol. He's been blocked by everyone he had disagreements with and thinks that the problem lies with everyone else. 😂 Dude, you've been blocked because of the things YOU said - or, more likely, the way you said them. Bluesky users do not tolerate assholes.
if the world of Hazbin Hotel had instead had the setting changed to Heaven....but the nature of the world did not....these weirdos would think the rampant death, destruction, and violence really WAS heaven.
They love combat, strife, confrontation, turmoil, and overall something to fight against.
Because if they actually gave us the @, we could see their extensive history of mudslinging, namecalling, and hatespeech with absolutely no civil discourse in between.
Fun thing about free speech that so many of the feces-smeared seem to never have known: all they're given the right to do is say stuff without being arrested and/or killed by the government. End of rights. No company or individual must be forced to allow them access.
They’re not mad about catching web site bans (there’s tons of rightwing troll and MAGA accounts on bluesky), they’re mad that none of the other users are being forced to listen to their filth. They’re mad they can’t force us to be a captive audience while they screech violence and hate and nonsense.
And the even funnier fact about free speech is that most people love it unless it disrespects them, so the solution to the lack of engagement from other users is simply... Being nice to people. But it's clearly too much for MAGA.
Yep. It would be no violation of any law guaranteeing free speech if the only platforms that would host their shit were dodgy chansites where you have to constantly swat away virus-laden dick pill ads in Cyrillic the whole time you're browsing and where only the most dedicated bigots would visit.
Apparently they don't like those sites much either if they don't have people to harangue there. 🤣🤣 All their favorite targets moved elsewhere and then they got Big Mad.
Of course they don't. Without "libs" to "own", their only company is each other, and they can stand each other just about as much as we can stand them.
Which is interesting because the Owned Lib isn't... Real
Like their idea of a left wing person is so far removed from what actual left wing people that if anything, having real lefties around just makes them look ridiculous
Of course it's not real, but they've invented metrics by which they can claim to have done it.
Block them? You got "owned."
Insult them? You got "owned."
Don't respond immediately? You got "owned."
Long response (with citations) explaining why they're wrong? You better believe you got "owned."
THANK YOU. I feel like I have to scream this in conservative rural Ohio. The government cannot censor you in a public forum. But also that any opinion you share publicly can and will be used to judge you by your peers 🤷♀️
I know "woah, this is just like this other thing" is the lowest form of engagement, but I do just want everyone to watch this classic: https://youtu.be/s4pxtiLR928
Imagine someone coming to your front yard at 2am with a soapbox and megaphone to yell obscene things and everything that are the polar opposite of your beliefs. When the cops inevitably come drag them away, they'd insist it was their 1st amend. right to be there. The Castle Doctrine crowd, btw
Oh, yeah? It's your fault for not understanding the feelings of the majority of Americans who like to smear themselves in shit, that they voted for the guy who smears himself in shit.
I read all the comments hoping to see what I considered an interesting or intelligent response. 2 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Don't troll me; this is me exercising MY free speech.
is there a way you could be more descriptive in your alt text? this alt text doesn't actually describe the comic or what it's about, so it's unhelpful for the people that use it.
The alt text contains all the information that's in the comic, I'm not quite sure what else to add without ending up falling into the problem of excessively wordy alt text?
This is the alt text I see; not sure if you've posted anything different.
Since alt text is used as an accessibility aid, this alt text isn't very helpful. For visually impaired people, it fails to convey what the post is or why it's being reposted.
oh, got it! i usually click to read the alt text, since i'm not a visual person and struggle reading in comic formats like this, and scroll in the bottom area to continue reading. i actually had no idea you could tap to expand. i apologize. thank you for explaining!
Imagine you took an Uber to Walmart, and when you got done, you called one to go home. But when you go outside, you don't see it. So you call the driver.
"I'm in a car."
"Yes but which car? There are at least 150 cars out here."
"Mine."
"What does it look like?"
"It has doors and a windshield."
The #irony of 1/6/21 defenders & the normalizers of the feces smeared that day on iconic marble walls, (i.e “weird shit”), getting upset & offended that smearing their “weird shit” isn’t welcomed on every social platform or in person public event after trying to normalize “weird shit”.
although i feel your sentiment. we have to entertain bad ideas to know ours are better. i agree bigots and closed minded people need help, but for free speech to work we have to be capable of showing them why they are wrong with strong arguments and proof.
Their ideas and arguments haven't changed in decades. We've known that their ideas are garbage for decades. They just keep bringing the same ideas in bad faith and demanding yet another reevaluation. Banning those ideas outright frees time to evaluate other ideas that may or may not be good.
We have tried. They aren't receptive, even when they're neck deep in proof and evidence. They aren't interested in civil discourse. They're interested in trolling, being a nuisance, and using whatever underhanded tactics they can to get a rise out of the left.
They aren't worth it.
And I hear what you’re saying but time and again we have
all seen that logical arguments and discussions do not
work with brainwashed MAGA. Calling someone
a libtard is not free speech, it’s verbal abuse.
exactly this says not to believe them,not that they can't speak. They need to speak so we can tell them the are wrong or we dont have free speech. Others will convert from the closed mined ideas. If our ideas are right! That's all I'm trying to say its not that they should be believed or given power
Well yeah, that’d work if these sorts of people were interested in learning. They’re not though, bigotry is founded in ego and ignorance. For some you can lift the veil but, for the sorts of people seeking debate, they’re usually ignorant on purpose, so nothing you can say will change their minds.
so we are saying these humans are not redeemable? That they can't grow into something? People who hate other people are the same. I chose to not hate and use that energy for something else. If they don't want to listen to logic then they are irrational and will not change,but is good to silence?
my uncle once smeared himself in shit for about a week. even sent tubs of shit to all of his extended family trying to get us to smear ourselves in shit as well. we cut him off immediately.
Trivia! Shit smear guy previously appeared in a comic that wasn't even part of Pills That Make You Green, from back in May when I'd only made the first post and hadn't decided to just keep going with the green thing.
I was talking to a friend who telling me "Obama wants kids to be trans, he made a law about it" His source: Alex Jones (I Wheezed) Told me to look it up, so I did.
You know what the law was, just that kids couldn't be discriminated against if they were trans, specifically by teaching staff.
wouldn't mind a version of the inverse, where its a house party and they're all covered, and the clean dudes like "nah, I'm good", pulls the door closed and it says "X"
You know what, personally I would like to have a respectful conversation with Trump supporters, to learn about their thought process... But they don't want to be respectful 🤷
There are a couple different thought process, a single person can hold a few:
They are anti-government;
-are racist or sexist.
-see everybody as lazy, undeserving;
-believe trump will bring about the end of the world;
-like Trump;
-think the Dems are evil;
- are rich and trump will make them richer.

I guess now I’ve realized you can’t talk someone out of bad faith.

They are incapable of chillin tf out. We are.
We didnt escape to be in an echo chaimber.
we left bc we wanted fkn peace.
Something they find boring and lame.
They love combat, strife, confrontation, turmoil, and overall something to fight against.

thanks so much for posting this video. /genuine
... you push people away, you get isolated. Duh.
Respect is a mutual contract, not a one-way street.
💙💙💙💙
Get rid of Jesse Singal you goddamn cowards.
I know, I know--you are talking about the sad-troll losers on X/Twitter.
So am I.
