      Old news: the “fuck your feelings” crowd operates entirely based on feelings and not facts. Truth will be distorted to keep them from feeling shame or humiliation

      This is a lot more sinister than “cancel culture”. Cancel culture was when someone with a platform expressed a bigoted opinion, gained a lot of attention, and caused a backlash.

      What these people are doing is actively and openly organising to encourage others to seek out, denounce and victimize anyone anywhere who doesn’t toe the line. It’s a modern-day Stasi.

      For right-wing authoritarians, hypocrisy is a power-move. That’s how they prove to you that they have more power than you within society.

      I would rather joke on the irony and not support his message.

      I get where you are going, but even ironical support for those people cause is prone to backfire.

      the thing is, joking about his ironic death is the most fair game thing there is, as it has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you liked or disliked him, or agreed or disagreed with his messages

        fair game

        In a rational world, absolutely.

        But you’ve gotta play the game when Team Nazi wants to get you fired.

          Anyone that is not betraying their country and country men should keep their mouths shut at work, and online in a way that could be explicitly read as against these guys. There is a way to criticize them satirically while sounding like you were agreeing with them and not communicating you are using satire. For a lot of people that would be the best option here.

    Their entire party is now built on hate. These people will sacrifice anything to support their hate. They are literally using hateful actions to support the memory of a hateful person. It’s just hate all the way down.

      This is absolutely true, and the craziest part is that half of them don’t even know they’re supporting bad stuff (they think they are good people, but they are hopelessly ignorant and passively racist with no desire to change) while almost none of them seem to realize that they are the ones making themselves miserable all the damn time. (speaking from my personal experiences/acquaintances)

      Hate and negativity in every little nook and cranny of life. The kind of thing that makes people into dangerous and aggressive drivers when they are in no hurry to get anywhere.

    Most of the hate seems to involve just quoting things he’s publicly said.

    So the plan is to identify people who find joy in the appropriate treatment of a fascist and then get them fired from their jobs. Some will take it on the chin and move on, sure, but others might find a bunch of new free time in their schedules plus a fresh axe to grind and decide they have nothing left to lose. Couldn’t possibly backfire.

      I’m sorry, but, are you implying that they care if the reports are false or not? The fascist don’t even care if they hurt their own followers.

      This information isn’t going to be used for anything on a large scale. They literally have control of all social media through their loyal oligarchs. This is nothing more than for uniting their followers in hate against anyone that might even slightly speak out against them. This is for the people doing the reporting. Not for the people actually being reported.

      It’s a way to manufacture concent for the state suppression on speech and the state violence. Something that these fascist were handed the moment the blood started shooting out of kirks neck. The people they want to target were already on their list long before then though.

      Something, something, cancel culture IRL started with disco record burning and the Satanic Panic.

      Something, something, online cancel culture started with 4chan harassment campaigns, some of which were made to show teen girls that “actions have consequences” (read: slut shame them until they committed suicide, so 4chan people could post “An Hero” memes).

      it is, but because “the left” has done it for years, decades even, maybe even centuries, it’s fair to do it back at them

      edit: i thought “centuries” would be over the top enough, but i guess not any more, so, to clarify, /s

      Yup. That’s the playbook. DDoS this service by:

      • Generating fake tweets and reporting them.
      • Volunteering to fact check and do a bad job, actively sabotaging their data.
      • Gathering information to doxx the people who run the site.

      Bonus points for turning the wrath of this mob against MAGA types themselves.

    We hanged people like Charlie Kirk at Nuremberg. He didn’t deserve to be assassinated, but Kirk did deserve a life sentence in prison for crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide.

    Lmao so glad I work in an industry that wouldn’t give a flying fuck if I danced on that Nazis grave. It would actually provide quite joy to watch them screech over failing to try to get me fired haha.

    Sounds like a lot of companies are going to lose their best workers and those workers are going to leave a job that never gave them a raise and find a job paying them 1/3 more than they were making.
