  • In my experience most people on the left want to help people living in red states, not condemn them to live under oppression.

    That being said, I cant imagine what youre having to put up with, and I hope things turn around and start improving for you and your community soon.

    Also Im sorry you had to encounter these divisive tumblr dicks, but please don’t think everyone on the left feels this way about what’s happening. Though of course there are real assholes who feel this way, bad actors are trying to turn this crisis into divisive conspiracy shitstorm on social media instead boosting ways to help people. I would avoid social media right now for this reason, especially twitter and tumblr where negativity gets hyper boosted.



















  • “he was met mainly with inaction because, he says, of fears about the amount of work involved or the cost”

    No kidding, engagement drives their whole business model. And nothing engages and addicts people more than violent, hateful shit.

    And its not just young men (though they are more heavily targeted) the algorithm can hijack almost any viewing pattern and steer it in a violent, xenophobic direction in a remarkably short time.

    They arent going to change the algorithm unless serious action is taken by government regulation, or something (which is not a promising thought)




  • Yes, no kidding people are more afraid of Trump. He wants to dismantle democracy and install himself and Christian facists. He wants to arrest and deport “dissidents”, citizens and non-citizens, millions of people.

    Are you implying Americans are complicit in genocide if they vote against their country becoming a violent facist state? (especially when when Trump, would also 100% make things worse in Gaza. He is a known islamaphobe, and has called for Netanyahu to “finish the job” etc). This is why people are getting pissy.

    There is absolutely a better chance of a new approach with Harris than with Trump, and to say otherwise is not based in reality.
