For what effect exactly did you bring that dumb shit to the surface for? To make users aware the obvious?
Keep it in your own feed.
Only exceptions can discuss and agree to disagree, but yhats rare.
I have no interest in interacting with any of them. They’re scum.
I became invisible because I advocated for science.
Mainly Trumpers and brexiteers having some serious realisations
I spent years on another platform trying to reason with those people and I am exhausted. That's why I chose bsky.
There are many other platforms that welcome them though if you still want to engage w/them.
That said, this post is promoting a "discourse"; suggesting that we should interact with them. I have no intention of interacting with them until they apologize for what they've done and clean up the mess they made. They acted like children and are on the biggest time out in history!
They seem "real" until you realize after not too long that they miss a simple question, while they keep repeating that you are the one that doesn't bring anything worth refuting, and of course is accompanied by something demeaning: weakness, littleness, etc.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
But i don't care if they don't care about my opinions on Nazis. I will always give them a good "fuck you". "Owning the libs" only really works if they're not abject morons.... Which they are.
I feel everyone should tell them "fuck you" every chance they get.
Even blocking makes people "feel better" and can make the person blocked feel justified in having been a troll. "I struck a chord LOL"
ANY response is a good one to a career troll.
Gay Anthem Song
Where everyone is gay besides the singer who was hired after the fact
You can’t reason with these people.
Hate isn't condemning wrong doing as the right spins it and the press doesn't call it out as gaslighting.
It's the "alternate reality" "fake news" spoke of by the very first, asshole fasciat dictator per corporate direction press secretary.

check out if you have time. I X is a Russian troll farm where we can get trolled and argue back & forth all day. If you're not shadow banned like me. 🗣️Bluesky is breath of fresh air
Discourse free of personal attacks and spiteful retorts.
We should be able to find some common ground somewhere.
This site is a breath of fresh air..
Sometimes, you have to walk to your neighbors house with a case of Bud light and forced laughs...
In that situation, I stay silent and stare at the fire.
Sometimes it's not difficult to identify an argument that is unwinnable.

I'm not afraid to have a discussion with people who disagree with me, esp. if they show signs of actual *thought*, rare as that is with righty-tighties.
Never know when they might see a sliver of light...
However we should be careful not to create an echo chamber as that does nothing to heal the hyper partisan divide.
I think most people are good and want what is best for we the people.
Blocking people who hate is not creating an echo chamber. Its
Protecting your mental health.
I see respectful people of all political ideologies here.
I don’t want to understand hate filled people. That is not my role in life. To understand their hatred.
I already have their number. Give me someone with something substantial to say & I agree with every word you wrote.
With respect, YOU did miss my thesis.
You are talking as if reading these thing don’t take a toll (i.e. when you’re stronger or “in a regulated” way).

Resorting to attacking gay men when you have no defense for Elon Musk? No thanks.. blocked
Dems will discuss an issue in-depth staying on topic while using factual detail to inform the public about what is most equitable
MAGA farts in the room and enjoys the Dem reaction.
I got paid to shoot the Taliban in the face not talk to them online about how they feel Islamic nationalism is better than Christian nationalism..
My brother's not bad, actually, but the vicious ones - I hope it never goes past words, but I am a *bear* when they go too far and I have no choice!
He is a perfect example of an Extinction Burst - the best way to handle this BS is to ignore it.
I’m done.
Silently blocking them is the only safe way.
Just asking to not give up on reason bc that’s ultimately what we want
Bringing points of discussion to the table is the purpose of free speech. Constant ad hominem attacks are as pointless as belly button lint.
(Please, some scientist reply to me about the purpose of belly button lint.)
And the end, we realized we were being too polite so we threatened to call each other “Neanderthals”.
Belly button lint is useful as a metaphor during a discussion.
Belly button lint deserves more time in the spotlight. It's one of the few things all people, regardless of party, can acknowledge, respect, and critically question.
Mark has to know this, too.
The fuck is he up to?
this is not a bug, it's a feature.
I just hope that all concerned realise, at last, that the man is either mentally ill or has Alzheimer's and stick him in a care-home.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

He is not an ally. He didn't do the BARE MINIMUM to fight for our country or our democracy..no good person acquired billions of dollars.
We should make these societal parasites terrified of us
Filling the feed with utter filth....
Hate speech is that cow pie....
It's stuffed full of bots, even tho we don't know the exact %.
We know that even if the facts support our arguments, bots and cultists will flood our threads, repeating lies, and giving the appearance that we're wrong or a minority.
Bluesky solves this for now.
I deliberately was trying to NOT feed the algorithm. I just wanted to see my friends and some memes and manufacturing videos. 😓
And you just platformed them to all of your followers.
Now, why would you do something like that?
blocked that guy's ass outright. i simply have no time, or patience to deal with people like him anywhere.
However it is probably better *everyone* get off the propaganda machine of X, perhaps people can start to return to sanity (or *relative* sanity) when it's just organic toxicity as opposed to artificially coordinated toxicity
Should people you disagree with be removed from this platform even if they haven't violated any rules?
Fkn idiots
Perspective.
Fun fact: 54% of adults in the US have a literacy level below sixth grade.
It's not really surprising there we're where we are right now.
We live in an era where the majority are poorly educated and gullible.
And if folks don’t believe everyone entering the US should have a legal status, then it’s worth a debate.
The problem with Trump and the administration is the rhetoric and labeling, it is misleading to drum up emotions, not helpful in addressing problems.

😉🤔🤷♀️
Thoughts?
I tried to be polite on X - I tried to bring up facts - but was attacked AGAIN AND AGAIN
Now it's happening on Facebook and even LinkedIn
There are just some really horrible fact averse liars who just want to watch the world burn
I'm supposed to now give them the benefit of the doubt?
Stopped polite in 2022
Funny thing is - before Bush Junior I was pretty centric. His actions tilted me more left
And now we have Dems thinking they need to be more centric - NO

I like the idea of interacting, but not with that unhinged and angry a man.
Will have to agree to disagree, Mark. A waste of time & energy in my estimation.
Until billionaires redistribute MOST of that wealth appropriately to the world, they are an enemy of the people.
It's hard to give them space when they go and ruin it five seconds after trying to have a productive conversation.
It's like hate speech is embedded into their vocabulary. That sucks.
Nip the “what about men” chorus in the bud too 👍
We've definitely lost that in the last couple of decades
Dictators don't rise without those who believe in them.
I have had lots of “real conversations,” and there are some things you learn on the flip side of that as well.
If there's any sign of *thought*, I'll try to engage them.
I’m not into porn. I do not need to view porn to know that I don’t want yo be around it.
This involves freedom of speech AND the licence to correct and reject falsehoods equally collectively.
