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?

    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.

      Does Erica Kirk feel like a couch on the inside?

          Argument this, argument that, all you ever fucking do is argue.

          No wonder Usha’s cheating on you.

              I don’t want legal analysis. I want to mock you because you chose fascism instead of actual strength and community. You could have picked something great, like love and respect, but you went with spinelessness and bootlicking.

                Mockery doesn’t change reality. You’re free to assign labels and cast moral judgments, but that doesn’t turn disagreement into fascism or debate into weakness. If you want to discuss ideas instead of trading insults, that’s a conversation I can have. Otherwise, this is just performance.

                  Honestly, folk around here don’t like your fascist fuckery. I bet you’d be well received in the White House press room where you belong, Mr. Vance. Barring that, the sack of makeup and Diet Coke you keep in the Oval Office has a platform called Truth Social, where you can advocate for people getting shot by ICE all day long.

                  Fuck off.

                    You can scream “fascist” all day, but that doesn’t turn assumptions into facts or social media outrage into evidence.
