My energy right now:

I'm still pretty sketchy-feeling about this "social media" thing.

Trump got elected president of the United States. I think that's evidence enough that there are lots of people out there with bad opinions and there are lots of people that don't care about others. That doesn't mean there aren't people that care.

Learn nuance, please.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Have a nice night.

The Rabbit Hole Cartographer @quacksanonymous.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, but understanding that there are bots out there is different than thinking everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, and i see that thinking expressed frequently.

Thinking that almost everyone disagreeing with you on social media is a bot is its own form of conspiracy theory. Like any other conspiracy theory, the idea insulates people from facing the reality that lots of people have opinions wildly different from their own.

Seen a bunch of different bits of content being like “it’s just paid agitators and bots trying to divide us“ and I’m like, no, I think people really are just actually that stupid

This is some "I smoked cigarettes all my life and I'm still alive so cigarettes don't cause cancer"-ass logic.

every shitlib on this hellsite thinks one laser will bring down a helicopter in a fiery explosion. here is footage of protestors covering a helicopter in lasers in chile 2019. it did not crash, it simply could not use its surveillance camera to film ppl below.

Reposts in this case, I believe.

Nuance? In this economy?

I think I'm going to start closing the comments to randos as soon as a post escapes from my following. People replying like I'm pro-ICE or something.

Apparently, thinking that potentially crashing a helicopter on your neighbors is a bad idea has people thinking I'm a "shitlib".

It has become apparent that the further a post escapes from your following, the more out-there and annoying the replies will be.

Ok, you get blocked like the fuckwad you apparently are.

The Rabbit Hole Cartographer @quacksanonymous.bsky.social · 1d

My opinions are not based on either, so fuck off.

This is "I smoked cigarettes all my life and am still alive so cigarettes don't cause cancer" logic.

I guess we aren't going with Steph's proposed title:

It's free on Tubi.

The Rabbit Hole Cartographer @quacksanonymous.bsky.social · 1d

Oh. Somewhat surprisingly, I've never seen that.
I suppose that I should at some point.

I think the issue *here* is that we are talking about people who see the cops as their mortal enemies and want to act accordingly, not thinking or caring that they are putting everyone else at risk in the process.

The Rabbit Hole Cartographer @quacksanonymous.bsky.social · 1d

No idea what movie, so we're good. lol.

The Rabbit Hole Cartographer @quacksanonymous.bsky.social · 1d

I suspect that you are correct in that.

The Rabbit Hole Cartographer @quacksanonymous.bsky.social · 1d

As is your right.

The Rabbit Hole Cartographer @quacksanonymous.bsky.social · 1d

Anyone who thinks that blinding a helicopter pilot in flight is a good idea deserves to be treated as a juvenile everywhere except in a court of law.

The Rabbit Hole Cartographer @quacksanonymous.bsky.social · 1d

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people here who will disagree on that point.

I would love to live in a world where people didn't have to make a thing on social media of telling people that potentially blinding helicopter pilots flying over protests in urban areas is a bad idea, but here we are.

If you're just trying to blind a cop bc you wanna, there's a lot more of them at eye level where they can't crash a helicopter on top of you and all your neighbors.
