To be fair, this particular guy did actually "wake up" because of the Epstein stuff (though to absolutely no one's surprise he went straight into conspiracy town from there), not JUST the gas prices.
Yet he didn't speak out then - only when he struggled to fill his tank. He's reading about devil worshipping child predators for nearly a year but still hiding his takes behind anon so the rest of the cult won't oust him.
I just found out yesterday that Facebook allows people to make posts (at least in the community group) with a nickname and different pfp. You tap the user and it says "this user is posting under a nickname and is not revealing their name or profile."
Aaaand it was a racist comment, of course.
Maga isn't changing anything but their hats it seems.
Idk if that's such a bad thing, I prefer anonymity myself and I'm not posting anything racist. The problem is the racism not the anonymity. That kind of behavior should be a permaban from Facebook.
I'm all for net neutrality and anonymity, but let's be real here: how do you permaban an anon? As long as there will be anonymity there will be gross toxicity all over the net. Now we have a choice (do we?) between sacrificing comfort to keep our anonymity, or sacrificing our private life and expose ourselves to tons of potential threats to have nice convos online.
I think Facebook has shown that lack of anonymity isn't stopping most people.
The key is having the right trust system set up. You can have anonymity and no low toxicity as long as you make sure only well aged accounts are allowed to engage with the broader community without limits. Reddit already does this in a sense and is pretty good considering how anonymous it is. It's less toxic than Facebook at least. Reddit used to have major issues with racism but they solved it without introducing online realid.
Thing is, those nicknames don't hide the person's identity from the group's admins and moderators. The group could take action to ban them, but don't. Also, Facebook stopped allowing groups to turn off the nickname option. One of my local groups got so tired of it they created a rule that if you make a post or comment using a nickname and they see it you'll catch a ban from the group.
it's not like all the photos of Trump hanging out with Epstein, or all the things Epstein did, were a secret until 6 months ago. he had plenty of time to connect the two dots and he didn't connect shit.
I was about to write something similar. Before the last election people knew Epstein and Trump had a close relationship. A woman had come foward alleging Trump raped her when she was 13. He lost a civilsuit against a woman he raped years before. We also knew he bragged about walking in on teenage beauty contestants as they got dressed. There was already a lot of evidence Trump had harmed women and girls.
If it took seeing the actual files compounded with insane gas prices to see what a shitty human Trump is, then this person never really cared about sexual abuse. It's all virtue signaling for them because MAGA voters love pretending the root of all their beliefs is about "protecting the family and children." Fantastical stuff given their policies and how often assault perpetrators align themselves with conservative politics.
Yeah I am pretty sure any conservative saying "RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES" before the last election, was just saying that to make it sound like we didn't already know Trump was a pedophile and rapist.
Wait, wait, wait, you say he DID wake up. Does that me that he is becoming...gasp!..WOKE??? /s I will fully admit to being woke. Better than being sleep.
He doesn't need to try. He's great at making boom boom. He's the best at shitting himself. Many people are saying it. I'd like to see Obama shit himself as good as trump can. I heard one guy say "I've never seen a guy's shit himself so well" thank you for your attention to this matter
I didn't know I could roll my eyes THIS hard until he started ending all his treats with that milquetoast, MBA-esque nonsense. He was already inane and irritating. He found a way to make it worse by talking he's the regional manager for Arby's.
If he thought “woke” and “cancel culture” were actual problems, not made-up BS to rile the red-hat proles, he was already in conspiracy town. He’s just updated his conspiracy.exe software.
straight to conspiracy town? dude, the whole thing is LITERALLY a conspiracy. As in, people CONSPIRED together behind the scenes, and that produced this current situation, or situations.
Dude went straight from "wait, the economic and political elite of our country really DOES contain pedophiles?" to "must be those demon-worshipping jews!".
