Breaking hearts in Quakertown, Pennsylvania 💔

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@Mage_of_Chaos @LibertyOverGov

my personal feeing is that trigger warning the abuse of fascists only serves as censorship of fascist abuse and therefore only benefits fascism

as long as it is not gore, i don't think your instincts here are helping our struggle

[nanowiz@vmst.io]

@LibertyOverGov
Quaker Town!!!!
As in the pacifist Quakers! What the hell is happening in this country?

[thezorse@hear-me.social]

@LibertyOverGov

This should have a content warning.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@LukefromDC @LibertyOverGov

i disagree because then that would be carte blanche in the minds of these hysterical pigs to empty 20 rounds into the kicker

don't get me wrong we need to confront these shitbags, even physically

but we need to be smart about it

[lighthouse_dann@mastodon.social]

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov I wasn't agreeing with or siding with China or North Korea.The point of the comment was that even in countries like those the people are willing and actually try to oust a Dictator leader.
I never said if they win or not.
I didn't say anything about my even caring about those countries.

The comment was pointing out that the American people are doing little to save their democracy and, "any other country, "even" North Korea and China, would fight for their rights.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@LukefromDC @LibertyOverGov

i agree. you have the moral and logical stand

however, there's plenty of people in the cemetery who had the moral and logical stand

all i am saying is that we need to fight back smart. and certainly in the heat of the situation we can't magically think up the ideal response. so a kick in the head is appropriate, according to me, and you

just be aware what that means in the minds of the brownshirts

"The point of the comment was that even in countries like those the people are willing and actually try to oust a Dictator leader."

North Korea?!

"The comment was pointing out that the American people are doing little to save their democracy"

they absolutely can do more. 100% agreed

some of these entitled assholes you can't even get to vote, nevermind strike or protest

The best assistance you can provide in a case like this is to hit that 'chief' really hard on his throat. He will be choking and probably need emergency 1st aid, but he won't do this again any time soon.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@LukefromDC @LibertyOverGov

and i for one would like to see someone as brave as you live to see another day

so i won't stop your actions. but i will try my damnedest to see if there is a better tactic. which might not be possible

much respect

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

no it should not

this is anodyne content that anyone on social media sees all the time

your instinct here is to censor police brutality, which only allows police brutality to occur unseen. your instinct is helping police brutality, unintentionally

if this were gore? i would 100% agree with you

but i disagree with you here on *this particular* content because people need to see

[nanowiz@vmst.io]

@LukefromDC @LibertyOverGov

warring over this syphilitic Orange pusack is pathetic and sad

[jeffreysmith@mastdn.social]

@LibertyOverGov

A chokehold by a grown man on a teenage girl is child abuse 100% of the time.

[thezorse@hear-me.social]

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov

I don't need or want to see this. I'm also not American, so seeing it doesn't empower me to help the situation. It's just traumatic.

It's not censorship. It's respect.

[ggmcbg@mstdn.plus]

@LibertyOverGov

Why do all them bluebois burn so hot-pink when they get in a tizzy about their control issues?

What a punk loser.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

well then respect us in the usa who are going through this trauma, who need examples of police brutality broadcast as far as can be seen to help fight it

if you don't want to see it you can block or unfollow

but what you can't do is gatekeep on our abuse for the sake of your need for an antiseptic timeline

if it was gore or pornography, you could. but it isn't, so you can't

all you are doing is helping police brutality by hiding it. you are in the wrong here

[drangnon@hachyderm.io]

@benroyce the hash tags should be a bit more accurate though, for proper filtering. some folks will have trauma re-triggered by that picture.

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@draNgNon @TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

i would like to believe that anyone who has suffered police brutality would like us to fight police brutality. which you do by broadcasting it

but i have no problem with your request for a hashtag

[drcampbell@mastodon.social]

@LibertyOverGov snowballs? Imagine losing your shit over a snowball being thrown at you. Pathetic.

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@nanowiz @LibertyOverGov The Quakers have been under police and government surveillance for decades. This isn't an unusual thing happening. Especially in Pennsylvania (where I grew up).

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@GGMcBG @LibertyOverGov They become cops just to do stuff like this. I took a good look at that image, and I'm somewhat surprised the cop wasn't someone I went to school with.
