@JWT4691@Marina_Sirtis The last thing I want is Twitter or anyone else deciding what content I get to see, let alone who is and is not allowed to use their platform. If I want someone or something banned or screened, I want to do it myself.
@Phiankhi@GaryCStern Basically, if you see someone with a Army of Virginia Battle Flag (see picture above for example) then said person is a terrorist and insurrectionist. The Confederacy existed only on paper.
@Phiankhi@GaryCStern According to the federal government, the constitution does not give the states a right to secede from the Union. The seceding states were in open rebellion against the lawful government of the United States. This, is like a bunch of people flying the ISIS flag in Baghdad.
@Boofyre @sebastian_fleur Maybe in Phily but in a shitty little mixed community on Long Island when I can go on my porch and see my neighbors shooting them off, and know they aren't cops. It will be over in another week. In the meanwhile, let's all get agitated and hate each other just a little more.
@sebastian_fleur @Boofyre My neighborhood has been going through this for weeks and we're a mixed neighborhood. Combo of people with way to much free time thanks to Covid, Summer Solstice celebrating and Juneteeth celebrating turned up to max thanks to recent events. Not a conspiracy against POCs.
@ElectionCenter_ Forgone conclusion in a blue district and given the high profile she has. Potential presidential candidate for 2024, or at least VP, but by then DNC might want a trans or gender queer candidate. Unless Biden wins. I'm a cynical bastard.
@Boofyre I know cops. I know fire fighters and EMTs. I know what they say about the people they are supposed to be serving and saving in their off hours. These people are not heroes.
@WoobieTuesday@Boofyre The lady is schooled at the Lee Atwater School of Rhetoric and Dog Whistles. What the folks in that room heard was, "libtards, illegals and N* are your enemies. Anything they want hurts you. We want to hurt them."
@TovAayla @FMH71994 Then there were the railroads, and the gold rush, and damn those plains are perfect for cattle and farming... The writing was on the wall and there was no way this was going to end in the natives favor. It's the way the world works. It will happen again. :(
@TovAayla @FMH71994 Plus, before gold and coal and iron and oil, there were furs. Furs were big money and people back in Europe wanted them, and as soon as the West could be opened, they trickled in to get at them. And they were more or less happy to work with the natives, for a while.
@TovAayla @FMH71994 It wasn't exactly cold blood. It's not like they were over here living in peace and harmony with each other before our ancestors stuck their noses in and exacerbated things by encroaching and introducing the Iroquois and Algonquins, amongst others, to the magic of gunpowder.
@FMH71994 @Boofyre Technically, some are. The vast majority no longer exist, mostly due to inadvertent exposure to European viruses. Then there was the Trail Of Tears, the Indian Wars, life on the res... Why do we hate Nazis again? I'm very confused.
@LeftwardSwing@Boofyre 5 to 10 minutes of relatively mild discomfort and he could have gone about his day, happy with himself that he wasn't going to be responsible for someone getting sick. Instead, he had to be a child and now everyone can see it. Way to let the side down, bro.
