In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.

The rules would be super simple:

  1. Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]

  2. Absolutely no calls for violent action.

  3. No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.

Think there’s room for PolticalActivism?

    “Astroturfing” is a convenient accusation when you don’t want to engage with the argument. I’m one person expressing a view — you’re free to disagree, but try addressing the point instead of inventing motives.

              Oh, I’m not debating, Mr. Vance. This isn’t a debate, there is no evidence, there’s no arguments.

              I’m harassing you for being a fascist.

              Fascism always loses in the end. Turns out, only fascists want to live under fascism. Everyone else will fight back. :)

                Claiming there’s “no evidence” while refusing to engage with evidence isn’t moral clarity — it’s opting out of thinking.

                  Ah yes, you know your rules of debate and argument well.

                  It’s just, well, that (and the whole outspoken fascist thing, let’s be real) won’t win you any affection or interest at parties, won’t endear you to anybody else, but hey, your role model Stephen has an office down the hall, and he’s just as lonely and extremely racist and fascist as you are! If he’s in the White House, just like you, then maybe you could make something of yourself.

      If you looked at the the different camera angles showing that it was a straight up murder and didn’t have a shred of basic humanity then you wouldn’t be saying any of the propaganda bullshit that you are.

        Calling something “murder” doesn’t make it so, and calling disagreement “propaganda” isn’t an argument. If you think the self-defense standard isn’t met, explain why without assuming bad faith.
