Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

it never works. i understand politics is not always dictated by what is right or good, but besides being wrong to scapegoat a marginalized group, getting more bigoted never works for liberal parties under conditions of widespread reaction. even if the rump masses of Undecided Voters are genuinely slavering for the mass liquidation of trans people (which, in the UK at least, may well be true), you are not going to benefit politically more than the dyed in the wool jodhpurs-and-riding-crop aristo fascists that make up the other side. you aren't making some kind of calculated sacrifice (of someone else) to gain some other political victory. you aren't even making a savvy career move. at best, you are buying your own ticket out of the camps when your cowardly submission gives them permission to seize absolute power and they need a typewritten explanation of why you aren't one of the removed whom we must liquidate for the good of the nation.
