I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Guys it’s crazy in Houston right now. We haven’t had power since this morning and it’s below freezing. I just fought through a mob of cars to refill gas, and now I’m standing in a long line outside of Home Depot trying to buy a generator. These idiots aren’t letting us all in due to COVID restrictions, but at this rate I guarantee the cold will kill us before the virus.

So Trump is the only president to be found innocent at two seperate impeachment trials. That makes him the most innocent president in Us history, lol.

Do a Google search on "impeachment fine people hoax" and see how the Fake News and at least one search engine have "disappeared" the biggest story in the country.
Breitbart was the biggest publication to do the story. Google hides them.
This is happening right in front of us. https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1360945384554553351 #Google #Impeachment

One of the most powerful corporate forces targets woman for political opinion that political opinions make people targets.
Certain prayers now illegal in Australia, up to 10 years in prison.

My top 3 questions as I continue to think about this article :
While the whole thing seems disturbing, wrong, and anti-democracy, is any of it illegal?
Will those grateful for a Trump loss care, even if they read this? Will their view allow them to see past the incredibly thin veneer of tortured vocabulary meant to make this seem like a positive? Even if they do understand that it's not Fortifying democracy but weakening it, will they care? The primary motivation seemed to be hate for Trump supporters, rather than being about policy or democracy.
Is it a democracy or is it something else where whoever has the best funded cabal to change laws and limit the flow of information decides the election?
@realcaseyrollins thanks for sharing... is this yours, or one you found?
@ReadyKilowatt @Johncdvorak excerpt :
When teacher Jessica Post got the first alert Saturday, she almost didn’t go — she didn’t want to take the vaccine from someone who needed it more. But she lived 10 minutes from the vaccination site, so she figured she’d at least try.
In the traffic outside, she too saw people running into the building, others refusing to let cars merge in front of them.
“It was like Black Friday or something,” she said. “Everyone was out for themselves.”
She and MacIndoe both made it inside and received the vaccine.
So.... She was one of the teachers who DID go and take the vaccine from someone who needed it more, one of those only being out for themselves. Nice. Nice teachers we got here.
