- throw-the-towel 1y agoThis is a tangent, but this type of You-Know-Who speech is so irritating. If you want to say Trump just say it, don't dance around it like he's some kind of god who'll punish you if you say his name in vain.
- toofy 1y agopeople are getting in very real world trouble for saying negative things about certain people or their friends. i’m not sure if you’ve seen how many people have lost their jobs for saying truths about kurk or how many people are losing jobs, scholarships, visas, education etc for saying things about a certain regime, but it’s happening, for real. they’re actively pushing to force people to turn over their social media accounts for review. we can’t blame this poster for vagueposting here. i often pushback against vagueposting but in today’s climate we cant blame people for taking their personal safety seriously when it comes to vocalizing their criticisms.
- pjc50 1y agoSadly, everyone knows what you mean and vagueposting is no protection. I'm reminded of the (apocryphal?) Russian protestor arrested for holding a blank piece of paper.
- bloak 1y agoI don't know about Russia but there seem to be loads of cases of people being arrested (or detained or harrassed by police) for holding up a blank piece of paper, including one case in Cornwall: https://netpol.org/2023/02/10/cornish-protester-assaulted-and-threatened-with-arrest-for-blank-piece-of-paper/ https://netpol.org/2023/02/10/cornish-protester-assaulted-an... In Singapore someone was charged for holding up a piece of cardboard with a smiley face drawn on it: https://www.economist.com/asia/2020/11/26/public-order-in-singapore-has-been-shaken-by-a-hand-drawn-smiley-face https://www.economist.com/asia/2020/11/26/public-order-in-si...
- throw-the-towel 1y agoThat was a Soviet-era joke, then it actually happened several times under Putin.
- 998244353 1y agoI seriously doubt saying "big blond haired baby who likes burger and fascism" instead of "Trump" would have made a difference for these people.
- hunterpayne 1y agoPeople lost their jobs for cheering about someone being killed AND for justifying political violence. Full stop... That you think anything else is copium of Russian quality. That you think that criticizing Trump would get you fired is absurd. You seriously need to work on yourself. You aren't getting push back for "telling the truth" (which is just repeating questionable things from journalists). You are getting push back for being a terrible human being. So terrible in fact that people are leaving the Dems just because they don't want to be associated with them, not for any policy or something the Reps did. PS None of this would have hurt the Democratic Party if it wasn't for how you reacted to his death. It was truly the worst thing I have seen in US politics in my lifetime.
- lovelearning 1y agoBecause "just say it" doesn't work on many sites. I don't know about this site but anecdotally, I've seen that when I use certain words / phrases / names on YouTube or Reddit subreddits, those comments are either not shown at all (not shown even to me) or shadow-banned (not shown to others). Another reason I don't just say it sometimes is to avoid trolling by fans of whatever or whoever I criticized.
- yoyohello13 1y agoI guess we can test the theory now. Fuck Donald J. Trump, worst President of the Untied States in history.
- astrange 1y agoObjection, Andrew Johnson is the worst US president in history.
