I dunno, you could tour the bodegas for bodega cats 🤷

Yes.

I already founded one called Tenaciously Investigating Think Tanks, Instigating Essential Scrutiny, or TITTIES

Has been from the start. I’m pretty sure that the first US “think” tank was the fucking John Birch Society!

Who’s gonna be the one to crosspost this to the tankie instances?

Must…not… Aaargh can’t not!

I wouldn’t have thought that In The Netherlands was such a common name!

Nah, much better to regulate their behavior and then actually ENFORCE the laws and regulations.

Yes, but this is elected officials saying the quiet part aloud as a policy position.

That’s a whole other level of “we know we’re untouchable” brazenness than the usual pretending not to be committing atrocities in the face of mountains of evidence.

political activists/commentators, particularly ones who speak out against the fascist apartheid regime of Israel and the genocide it’s committing. Such speech is heavily censored on the American owned major social media platforms for reasons as obvious as they’re infuriating.

Comedians, singers, and other performers who benefit from the exposure to potential audiences. Especially ones who would be censored on the other platforms for the above reason or others.

The algorithm and spying is awful, sure, but not any worse than the American ones that cooperate with other totalitarian governments such as those of Russia, India, Israel, Hungary etc with impunity approaching that of Israel.

The main REAL difference between Tiktok and the other platforms is that it doesn’t suppress anti-genocide speech, which is inconvenient to a political class where the vast majority is under the sway of AIPAC and other de facto Israeli government entities.

They know but it’s too late. His power is so consolidated that he can (and does) change the constitution at will.

Like his and Trump’s owner Putin in Russia, nothing short of a violent coup will rid Hungary of his fascist rule.

Dumbass Trump doesn’t like it because it’s not about him.

And some of us will love to pretend that it IS about him, one last act of defiance by a dying democracy towards the people about to murder it.

Sounds like a Passover theme night at an LGBTQ+ friendly bar 😁

any politician facing a fair election

So not Orban. His ruling party, Fidesz, has completely re-designed the election system.

The temptation to crosspost this there is palpable 😁

Of course. Like all cops, their first duty is protecting the possessions of rich and powerful people from the righteous wrath of the rest of us. That takes precedence over the system, which takes precedence over the country, which takes precedence over the non–rich politically powerful, who take precedence over non-rich people who don’t have political power.

If you don’t know where in the hierarchy of “cops caring whether you live or die” you are, chances are you’re either dangerously close to the bottom or clueless about your privilege.

In stead, bless the rains down in Africa. 60% of the time, it works every time.

And that of pre-Nazi Hitler. He got a lot of his ideas from Jim Crow and American bigotry in general.
