    Reporter in video describes the scene like nothing very interesting is happening, like it’s all perfectly normal and mundane to zip-tie the hands of people in wheelchairs behind their back or pulled into unnatural and painful-looking positions, all the while repeating the phrase “big beautiful bill” over and over with a straight face. Our “news media” is nothing but propaganda and apologia for the regime.

      Woah there, not all law enforcement. Still need park rangers and game wardens to protect the commons.

    Whoo boy, looks like the .world mods are enforcing silent compliance with fascist brutality again, thats a lot of highly upvoted deleted comments.

    One of these days they’ll suck the boot so far down their throats they’ll asphyxiatiate, but at least they’ll pass with joyful tears in their eyes.

      Whenever I see “Removed by mod” on a .world community, I know it probably said something I agree with. News communities shouldn’t be hosted there.

        They were talking about watering the tree of liberty. I’m sure you can find the correct quote and infer who was being referenced.

        Maybe, but people need to learn to speak in plausible deniability. You can check the user’s moderation history to see what they said. Fascists were able to advance their ideas without getting shutdown with indirect speak and double talk. Maybe we need to learn the same.

          My comment was oblique; I agreed with an historical quote then made a LOTR reference. No overt calls for violence. Still removed.

          e: Please check my moderation history to see what I said. I was the 3rd comment in that thread.

          How do I get to it. I’m in .world. Clicking link tells me it doesn’t exist. E: weren’t they defederated by .world?

            Wait, you can’t see that instance from .world?

            That sounds crazy. I’m not sure how this all works, but that sounds like a reason to create an account on a different instance, because it sounds like .world is censoring your content.

            I can see pretty much all instances (unless I block them myself).

            Or am I misunderstanding?

            (Yes, I get defederation, but that seems overly restrictive)

              .world defederate and blocked a ton of communities. obviously some of them seems bordering on illegal, but they are also blocking alot of other ones.

                Oh.i guess I wasn’t paying attention.

                My instance has blocked all the shady shit, but apparently not as much as .world. And I don’t see shady shit, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      i see people sitll shilling for the court system when jury duty comes on reddit and other forums, it has never been beneficial for the accussed, thats why there is always bias, so you can get out of serving.

    As a disabled and queer woman, 3 categories that are now under attack, this makes me very angry. I’ll just say [removed].

        No, but I’ve definitely tried not being disabled.

        It’s almost like you don’t just choose to be these things. Like, if I could be an able-bodied cishet christian man, I wouldn’t have these problems. My fault for not male-ing hard enough.

        e: Wait, hold on….

    Governments hate the disabled. I’m surprised they didn’t just shove them down the stairs and say they fell.

    Did we get names of the individuals committing the crimes? They are under strict orders not to obey illegal orders, no matter how crazy shit gets, and no matter how desperately sarcastic and despairing lemmy comments get.
