    Reporter in video describes the scene like nothing very interesting is happening, like it’s all perfectly normal and mundane to zip-tie the hands of people in wheelchairs behind their back or pulled into unnatural and painful-looking positions, all the while repeating the phrase “big beautiful bill” over and over with a straight face. Our “news media” is nothing but propaganda and apologia for the regime.

    Whoo boy, looks like the .world mods are enforcing silent compliance with fascist brutality again, thats a lot of highly upvoted deleted comments.

    One of these days they’ll suck the boot so far down their throats they’ll asphyxiatiate, but at least they’ll pass with joyful tears in their eyes.

      Whenever I see “Removed by mod” on a .world community, I know it probably said something I agree with. News communities shouldn’t be hosted there.

        Maybe, but people need to learn to speak in plausible deniability. You can check the user’s moderation history to see what they said. Fascists were able to advance their ideas without getting shutdown with indirect speak and double talk. Maybe we need to learn the same.

          My comment was oblique; I agreed with an historical quote then made a LOTR reference. No overt calls for violence. Still removed.

          e: Please check my moderation history to see what I said. I was the 3rd comment in that thread.

        They were talking about watering the tree of liberty. I’m sure you can find the correct quote and infer who was being referenced.

            Wait, you can’t see that instance from .world?

            That sounds crazy. I’m not sure how this all works, but that sounds like a reason to create an account on a different instance, because it sounds like .world is censoring your content.

            I can see pretty much all instances (unless I block them myself).

            Or am I misunderstanding?

            (Yes, I get defederation, but that seems overly restrictive)

              .world defederate and blocked a ton of communities. obviously some of them seems bordering on illegal, but they are also blocking alot of other ones.

                Could it be the other way around? Beehaw may have defedersted from World. They are a fairly restrictive instance much like blahaj zone.

                Oh.i guess I wasn’t paying attention.

                My instance has blocked all the shady shit, but apparently not as much as .world. And I don’t see shady shit, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              i got in trouble with them, when i was pointing out how israel/aipac has bought off many of the DEMs and gop, and then also said they are also responsible for funding/censoring protests of gaza in the universities when i was referring to SEINFELD and her wife funding censorship both being of that demographic, they essentially accused me of being anti-semitic. in politics.world

          I find it interesting that those Republicans are trying to remove healthcare, meaning many people will die. They will absolutely die from the direct actions of those politicians. They are murdering people.

          But any mention of fighting back is over-the-line and not allowed. Why can one side do it but not the other?

              Accepting your premise as true, it logically follows that god is in fact a shithead.

          Lmao they’re removing Thomas Jefferson quotes? Fuck the Nazi-loving mods here. History judges your poor choices.

          Edit: so you mind quoting the reason they gave for removing a Jefferson quote?

            Also replies agreeing with Thomas Jefferson quotes, followed by LoTR references.

      Honestly I think it’s too late. The groups you’re up against are all armed to the teeth with military gear and zero accountability. The time for (reserved) violence was months ago. Right now your choice is to take it up the ass or gtfo.

        No, but I’ve definitely tried not being disabled.

        It’s almost like you don’t just choose to be these things. Like, if I could be an able-bodied cishet christian man, I wouldn’t have these problems. My fault for not male-ing hard enough.
