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.

"I'm sad that someone I smeared as a Nazi has been killed because of those smears" rings pretty damn hollow.

The lunatic left believes killing Charlie was an act of self-defense. By treating his words as violence, they justify their violence as speech — the outcry of the oppressed. Shame on everyone who's ever validated this wicked worldview.

@jk_rowling: "If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist."

When I first saw the posts about #charlieKirk saying "live by the sword, die by the sword," I thought they were comments saying the shooter should be shot: shoot people and get shot.
But I was wrong. They mean: he talked, challenging prescribed ideas so he should be assassinated.
People inhabit entirely different narrative realities from each other.
Today is a very sad day. While the breaking national news was about today's political assassination there was local breaking news about another school shooting near me here in Colorado with multiple students rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds.

Has anybody forked #Moshidon and removed the instance blocklist? Would start using that app again in a heartbeat if the application was truly free.

Trump Vows To Nationalize As Many Private Companies As It Takes To Defeat Socialism

@TXPatriot2021 I'm missing something. They are saying the last five years? . You share a photo that isn't from within the last five years.... Is there some connection between the photo and the statement? Obviously if someone says the lowest price in five years that means it was cheaper five+ years ago.

Not sure if this is a hot take or not but the current discourse surrounding #JeffreyEpstein and the #EpsteinFiles is a massive distraction. As was ...

Cold-Hearted Leftists Demand Immigrants Stay In Evil, Oppressive United States

@steele I don't know how I was adversely affected. How were you adversely affected?
@steele the media profits from making people afraid. Fear both sells and shuts down our ability to think critically.
I'm encouraged by scripture to not be blown and tossed around like wave in the sea, and not to fear or be frantic.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
@steele have your independence day celebrations historically been to celebrate your current president, legislators, and recent Supreme Court decisions?
Interesting take.
@Dan_Ramos @Synclair yep, the writing has been the problem. For both Jodie and Ncuti.
