@MojoJioGio @UkrainianAna@Spanish64846308 The problem with calling out dog whistles is that, that's the whole point. You call it out but by nature of their double meaning or vagueness they have an easy defence and make you and your position look foolish to a layperson leading to a growing sympathy for the dog whistler.
@miravus@UkrainianAna It seems like a reasonable response, I'm not sure where in these tweets you got the idea of her condoning Nazis, seems more like a "we have more pressing things to worry abt" type tweet but i might be missing something?
@magacrat @stonetoss I understand what you mean and agree but there was a lot of unnecessary vitriol towards mrbeast about this. Jabbing back at those people is perfectly valid
@Fynagle@_TechJess If I believe my friend has a great idea for a company, I can invest money in exchange for % of the cmpny. In exchange for me believing in them, they agree to pay me a lil bit monthly for every share I bought in their company. I'm not sure I see what's crazy about the concept
@LawrencesSnyder@LibertyLockPod I tried looking for those prior agreements but couldn't find any actual agreement between NATO and Russia except for a misunderstood quote. If you know where I could find that I'd appreciate it.
@HypaWave@Sargon_of_Akkad Everyone will lie if it's convenient, for example:
"the election was rigged"
"LGBT are pedos/groomers"
"Climate change isn't man-made"
"America is a Christian nation"
"Systemic Racism doesn't exist anymore"
"COVID is no big deal/ vaccines kill you/microchip/brainwash you"
@PatternistSlave@notsoErudite I'm asking a particular question about deplatforming and it's effect on radicalization of the people and communities affected. Whether social media platforms have an impact on society is a much broader question where you'll find a wide range of results both positive and negative.
@HallowNocturne@tarastrong It's not a Ponzi scheme if you are representing them accurately, aka as just a collectible and not trying to convince someone they can flip for profit like beanie babies. Shame the schemes and support the noble ones I say
