I’m from under a rock or maybe the wrong side the pond. Who’s this? Some conservative nutjob with too much of a podium?
That image reply actually made me laugh out loud.
Me too! And it gets better: it’s a gif
How I imagined a gif of that would be, that or a singular tear slowly forming.
Kinda shows just how “decentralised” bluesky actually is if they can just ban her like that.
One instance app!
Do we know what instance banned her?
There’s only one.
These people can’t stand stand they will be left behind in Twitter like being on the titanic
Imagine how gay people felt trying to get married until just a few years ago.
Banned for simply existing.
How about trans people trying to travel into or out of a country. Or applying for a job and having to submit their deadname and their birth sex revealing their medical history. Or getting pulled over and getting interrogated over their ID. Or trying to take a leak while at the office or a restaurant and being told they have to leave.
Banned for simply existing.
How about being born as a visible minority and getting stopped and frisked just for being in public.
Banned for simply existing.
But not being on Bluesky? That’s taking things too far!
Until just a few years ago? Take a look at yesterday. It’s back.
I have no idea what all the effects of that executive order are, but yeah I could see that being the case now in a lot of places.
Marriage affects your taxes, your ability to buy in a house as a couple, adoption, your will/estate, being in the hospital… A lot of important things.
It’s really basic human rights.
Whatever the wrong lesson is here, that’s the one Loomer will learn from this.
Loomer finally gets to feel what its like to be the people she vehemently discrimates against, yet I get a feeling she won’t learn a damned thing from that.
She will not.
Their whole MO is whining when they lose, and crowing when they win. Whatever region of the brain is supposed to map their experience to other people, so that they can feel what that other person is feeling and imagine it as their own experience, is simply atrophied or doesn’t exist. Their side and their own feelings are hugely important, and must be protected. Yours do not, because fuck you, you’re not them. They do not apologize for this or make any attempt to hide that it is the way.
In case anyone wants actual proof:

They measured empathetic responses using an MRI. Conservative’s empathetic responses are stunted.
This one is epic.
