So uhhh, I went to check their accound, and they're still posting? Not only that, they were banned from this community a while ago.

Like can you guys look up stuff before claiming anything?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I did, they hadn't made a comment for 15 days when I checked

Libs like to ban people and then celebrate silence as a win.

Nay, Leon told Putin to cut government to half.

I blocked so many accounts over the past few months. The propaganda posters were freaking everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 20 hours ago

I'll just go ahead and save this post to share during the next election to hopefully help encourage others to tune out the new ones that will show up.

Getting banned on 10/31 might have something to do with it too. ;)

I just looked at my history and so many of these fucks deleted their posts and just peaced.

UniversalMonk was permananned. They tried to evade the ban with other accounts, but those also got the ban hammer.

It's a lot quieter since the election. Almost like they were, paid or not, bad faith actors with one goal.

Hm.

I happen to be of the opinion that they were all, or almost all, just useful idiots who truly believe that Trump winning would result in the FALL OF THE AMERIKKKAN EMPIRE and subsequently some kind of world socialist revolution. Instead of, you know, Trump's slump just being sludging up all extant institutions and encouraging crony capitalism and repression of workers' movements the world over.

I mean, they probably still believe that, for that matter, but being confronted with the reality of ushering in fascism triggers some cognitive dissonance with their performative allyship, and they don't like that.

Sounds like there was a wave of bannings too, judging by the comments.

There will be plenty of topics to come that will provide similar outlets considering what is pending.

I say this with no sense of irony or desire for the fall to happen; but he hasn't even taken office yet, time will tell [sigh].

I still struggle with the internal conflict of 1) wanting this to all just work out and we come out the other side 4 years from now with our democracy intact, albeit with a lot of changes I disagree with or 2) hoping for stage 2 of FAaFO to unleash the leopards while I laugh and the idiots who voted against their own best interests cry that their faces are being eaten. The human in me really hopes for the former, but the wanna-be-standup-comedian in me has a darker heart.

Oh yeah, my point isn't that they haven't 'succeeded' in that goal of seeing the US collapse; they very well may have depending on how things shake out. My point is only that their actual motivations were not, largely, their stated motivations, and the starkness of what is facing minorities in the US now makes them uncomfortable, knowing that this is what they were cheerleading for. And also that the collapse of the US isn't going to look anything like they think it will.

The one from [email protected] who was screeching (literally) all day every day for months about "BlUe MAgA" this "Both sides are the same" that and constantly telling people to vote for Jill Stein and how you shouldn't "vote for genocide" as if Drump was the better choice.

Suddenly stopped after the election lmao

Suddenly stopped after the ~~election~~ ban lmao

It was so plain to see once you get past the "fee-fees" of the bullshit. Patently obvious to anyone with a shred of humanism.
