A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

MODERATORS
Offer them a life that's better than the one leading them down that path. It's the same way any terrorism is dealt with if you want it to actually have an effect.
My dude, Democrats actually do offer a life that's better for everyone, but that's the problem.
These people don't want other people to live better lives, they only want a better life for themselves. And the only way to get there is to quite literally either kill other people or make their lives unlivable.
Someone who's willing to die or be put in jail "to stop the jews" or whatever bullshit they subscribe to, doesn't give a damn about universal healthcare or a woman's reproductive rights.
On the flip side, they aren't voting for a guy who will improve their lives (not in the way you and I would view as an improved life). They are voting for a guy who will make OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES miserable. Because that's how their world view works.
Unless you want Democrats to do the same, they are on completely different wavelengths.
I wish I was wrong.
I'm not so sure that's really what Democrats offer anymore.
The Democrats offer nothing at all.
Awhile back I saw a political cartoon that said "Hey, can we get healthcare, living wages, housing and affordable groceries?
Republicans: No.
Democrats: No. Black Lives Matter.
Same shit, different lip service.
