So you can’t actually judge a comment on its own but need Randoms (and bots) to tell you how you should interpret it.
Definitely not the flex you think it is, and karma doesn’t exist here lol. “Reputation” doesn’t exist in a way that follows the account. Votes are exceptionally easy to manipulate. Keep assigning value to internet points and I’ll just keep pointing and laughing.
T.A.C.O. Trump
Cool , so what’s your total internet points?
You can spin up an instance and query the db to find out if you want, I’ll wait.
Maybe just you? I’ve seen a few people get mad about it but most people seem wholly unconcerned with them, and rightfully so.
Can you tell me what my total “points” are?
I’m not even sure downvotes affect a comments visibility on here, with the way federation works I bet they don’t.
Votes don’t matter here, it’s not tracked. Some instances don’t even display votes either way.
Seriously, who do they think is in charge of the military?
I’ll give you a hint it’s not generals.
Purely anecdotal but the two veterans I know that I’ve spoken about all of this to absolutely despise Trump. I actually talked to one of them today and he was losing his shit about Marines being sent to LA.
I’m going to a protest, maybe we’ll see each other!
The uncropped photo is more impressive and has a lot more impact IMO.
I recently got a small group of gay/trans/ally/hiking friends to a range and I think it’s going to be a more regular thing. I have a couple and another person had several, and the range does rentals. One of us (who’d never even fired a gun) has a small piece of property and they ended up trying/purchasing a little 10/22 to take out to their property to start trying to get some small game. I’m deep in the a red state though so convincing more on-the-fence/marginalized people to protect themselves isn’t hard given the right conversation.
I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.
The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they’re controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It’s really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they’re winning.
The coup was successful, they’re in power and if they don’t want to give it up they won’t.
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.

RATM is half the reason for my political awareness and absolutely why I know about AIM (and that Val Kilmer movie but RATM is why I actually looked into it).
Well then everyone the conservatives don’t like need to start arming up before they realize the gun control they always wanted exists, but only to keep “mental ill” people from buying them and the only things considered illnesses are things conservatives don’t like.
Someone burned their house down (presumably killing their dog) and then placed the dog skull in the driveway to lure them back. When they came back the neighbor came at them calling them slurs and opened fire.
Seems pretty suspicious to me, weird that the local cops couldn’t piece it together.
Anyone is free to spin up an instance, go nuts.
That’s probably your best bet champ.
Enjoy fretting about made up points on a federated platform that doesn’t track them and usually doesn’t even correctly display them unless you interact with the comment, peak redditard.
