I am a left winger. I’ve voted for the greens since I started voting

And sorry, but America is full of crazies who are just calling for violence now.

The right wing is calling for murdering random people like fauci, whereas a lot of people from the left seem to be happy CEO’s are getting shot and encouraging it

It’s totally fucked. And yes, even Reddit is doing a better job moderating it at the moment.

Nobody should be encouraging murder. Has this actually improved the health care at United? No. They’ll just replace the CEO and get more body guards

But, if you encourage the development of laws, that might have an impact. Or it would have, until you guys voted for Trump

Yep… Whats crazy, is that literally a few months ago, everyone was pointing out how weird the nutters on the right wing are. And how rediculous the gun nuts are

Now, somehow, there seems to have been some kind of concerted campaign that have made a lot of these people start to act exactly like the extreme right, where shooting seemingly anyone you don’t like is apparently “ok”. But at least a lot of those guys tied them to random conspiracy theories, whereas, what I’m seeing suddenly by some people on the left, is basically just blatant wanting to kill certain people

In other countries this is normal. Including here in Australia

Maybe you need to rethink some things and get some perspective from countries where we don’t have regular mass shootings. Our kids don’t need to do training for school shootings

What you’re doing clearly isn’t working

That’s also why we didn’t get people trying to overthrow our Capitol

It’s absolutely ridiculous at this point for an American to be giving any advice about guns

I know you got downvoted, but in other countries and anywhere other than lemmy, the US and truth social, this is actually normal

It’s crazy that extremist groups like the NRA have managed to brainwash so many Americans

Group / company…

It doesn’t need to be a specific person.

In my case it was my ex housemates boyfriend, and then a rich customers kid onsite who threatened me (we were fixing another installers f up and we somehow got blamed)

I’ve been threatened multiple times in my life. They never explicitly tell me they’ll injure me, they use language like “or else”.

That’s a threat. We all know that’s a threat. Let’s not pretend otherwise. People making threats these days think they’re being clever by being indirect.

Trust me, you don’t want to be in a country where stuff like this is normalised, especially by right wingers

You’re literally copying the Trump playbook. Just bully people you disagree with.

Justify it how you want I guess

It’s wild how you guys went to full Trumptard mode so quickly

I’m not kissing ass. I’m just acting normal, whereas people like you have suddenly gone full NRA. You’re making us all look weird

Also, interesting that you’ve resorted to childish name calling. Reminds me a group of people

No. I’m not.

Never said that.

Dumb comment

Wtf are you talking about?

So it’s ok to act like a bunch of fucking terrorists and just start targeting people?

You know nothing about me. I am definitely not rich and I’m definitely not taking the side of the wealthy. I’m definitely on the side of you guys getting free health care or public health insurance like here in Australia

You need to take a step back though and see how weird and radicalised people some people here are acting. 2 years ago we would have called them loonies and reported them, but now suddenly it’s ok?

If you guys want the network to be shut down or taken over by authorities, this is the way.

No, it’s not ok to start just listing people and suggesting people attack them.

What some people are doing will get us all on a watchlist

I never said that

I was a tradie and more than one of my rich customers was arrested and found guilty

The first one who pulled a massive scam spent months joking with people he was innocent and was adamant it was bs… He started asking us all the best way to encrypt his communications too at one point (which was suss)

The silver bullet was when investigators found the computers at the school he was apparently operating weren’t even plugged in. Yes, they were that stupid

Another one was my ex’s bf who did lots of dodgy shit. Guy oozeed evidence

Yet another stole the security cameras outside a building. They took their hoodie off for a second and looked up at the camera, and then put it back on.

My point was, criminals will always tell you they’re innocent. And yes, a lot of them do make mistakes. Police didn’t plant a bunch of unplugged computer for my customer and it’s entirely possible this guy called lots of cash

Trump is the perfect example. Just because they say they’re innocent doesn’t mean it’s true. They possibly are. But them claiming they’ve been framed in my experience is meaningless.

There are lots of criminals I’ve personally come across who frankly are stupid enough to carry evidence. Yeah I’ll get downvoted and I get nobody here gives a shit about honest discussions anymore, but in my experience, it’s common.

Criminal says they’re not guilty. Never heard that before

What’s fucking insane is the way people were practically making a checklist of people to kill

This place was turning into thedonald, where abuse was upvoted

You know it’s bad when even 4chan people were acting normal in comparison

It’s weird how lemmy was going full NRA.

Honestly, I went back to Reddit to take a look and they were acting so normal in comparison.

I don’t support the CEO either, but this place was starting to sound more like truth social and 4chan

No

In other news, 34 criminal convictions by a unanimous jury (which is near impossible to win) doesn’t make you a criminal either apparently. You’re only a criminal if you’re related to Biden (and don’t worry, revenge porn by Marjorie is perfectly ok too)

You could bring down the average conviction rate in the US simply by deporting Trump

I haven’t seen any difference there honestly.

Here in Australia also, pre covid a leader for a hiking group was well known in the community and made racist comments. Reported them, and nothing was done.

I need to get rid of them at this point.

This has nothing to do with the problem at Meetup

I’ve been running a free Meetup for 8+ years

The actual issue is the costs, the shitty photo upload system and the fact that they send all hosts paid events for their own hosting group which can’t be blocked

It’s not enshitification. It has been shit for 8 years at least

There have always been expensive events.
