  • They're not homogeneous, for sure. Many of them support killing liberal gun owners because they're liberals, white men included.

    The ones who don't, though, specifically only oppose this because he's a white man. The Republicans that are pushing back on his killing would be silent if Pretti was a Black man, or a Somali refugee, or trans, or anything else other than a white man.

  • But, the article is about how some of them are outraged. I'm just providing an explanation as to why - it's because their in-group is "white male gun owners" and they're outraged because the in-group was attacked.

  • You're talking about how it was useful before, but does it still apply? Seems like that was stomped out.

    As for why it's different now, nobody cared because it was a space shared by fascists and antifascists. I never really used it, but was still peripherally aware enough to know that there was a left-Twitter. Similar to Reddit, the site was shared by some of the worst and best people on the internet. That's no longer the case. It's not the internet town square where users share equal space and compete for attention, it's now just a platform for Nazis and pedos by Nazis and pedos. I don't see good reasons to use it. It's a nasty habit.

    Grok is stripping clothes off of children's photos and making revenge porn. It's indefensible. People need to log off.

  • It's Stalinist to want walkable cities with fewer cars, apparently 🤦

  • Or like, why do they think this couldn't happen in a city with cars?

    They can just block the roads and cars are worthless.

  • I can't parse your comment.

    The outrage from the base comes from ICE killing white people, because white people are the in-group that the law protects.

  • I suspect Pretti being white has a lot to do with it, but it's still a useful schism that could be exploited.

  • Yeah it was the only public forum/town square of the internet. It just really isn't that anymore, and I think it really matters that people stop using Xitter. It's bad for users and bad for society. That said, you're right, it certainly isn't the highest contradiction and people don't deserve to be brutalized by pigs because they're a shitposter.

    But its wack to compare leaving Xitter to leaving the US or giving up cellphones. That was my original point.

  • To be clear, people who use Xitter don't deserve to get beaten by cops. I don't know what the fuck that other user is on about, it's just a nasty habit. But it is a lot easier to give it up than to move out of the US or to stop using a cell phone, and we should talk about that. It's not useful, it's actively harmful to its users, and people who use it should be encouraged to stop.

  • I wonder if I'm so pro-public transportation because my favorite part of the school day was the long rural bus rides to and from school. My friends and I would hang out in the hang spot on the back of the bus and shoot the shit for the 30-40 minutes it took to get to and from school. Best way to start the day, best way to end it. Maybe someone would get off at my stop and we'd play Smash.

    As an adult I'm just alone in my car.

  • There are deportation actions Trump is doing that are new and might not have happened under Harris. ICE probably wouldn't be able to play musical chairs with deportation centers by shipping people all over the country to isolate them from family and lawyers, probably wouldn't have tried deporting people to El Salvador or other third countries, probably wouldn't be attempting to reverse asylum decisions and greencard holdings and even naturalization, probably wouldn't be laying siege to cities and murdering people on the streets for the crime of talking back, etc etc.

    Things are worse and we shouldn't ignore this.

    It's just important to remember where the blame goes. Things are worse because Harris decided to throw the election.

  • Yeah, call me ignorant, I don't get it at all. I don't see how it's even slightly useful. It's certainly not working class people that "need" Xitter for their career, at most it's petite bourgeois content creators and influencers who need it to reach an audience. I can't imagine what a poor person could possibly need Xitter for, it makes no sense to me.

    For context I'm in my 30s and never had an account. It just seemed like a place to make me mad, and that hasn't changed since it was bought by Musk and taken over by fascists.

  • Getting rid of your cellphone is also harder than leaving Xitter. Xitter isn't a vital part of society or really that important, it's literally just a place to waste time. It's actually a really easy and simple thing to do and should be encouraged.

    I don't know if scolding individuals for their behavior is effective as a general strategy, I just mean to point out that it's categorically different to criticize someone for using Xitter than to criticize them for owning a cell phone or living in the US.

  • Personal motor vehicle ownership is now illegal. You may drive a vehicle owned by the city/state or the cooperative you work for, but you don't get to have your own. You can take the train, ride your government-provided ebike, or in case of special needs you will be provided a shuttle service.
