I said that I hope Elon Musk dies. Didn't say anything about how he dies. I just hope that he does.
This is my third ban in the past couple months, all for the same reason; I hope Elon Musk dies.

It's happening here too. The clowns at 50501 keep thinking they're going to shut down nazis with signs and slogans, tell them differently, even politely, your comment will be removed, or you will be banned. Absolute clowns watching their last chance at freedom bleed away with a stupid sign in their hands. jfc.
Or maybe the people who are planning more than holding signs aren't stupid enough to talk about it on a public forum.
And the people who run the instances don't want to be shut down or get in trouble for shit that you're saying in THEIR house.
Unless you created the instance, you are a guest in someone else's space. Be respectful.
This is why I'm personally convinced it's astroturfed.
They should be spending time building community that does something other than make signs. Like, you know, Mutual Aid Groups. Community gardens. Medics for the community.
Instead they're going to piss away precious time telling themselves their protests are doing something.
The largest worldwide protests in history (at the time) preceded the War in Iraq, to try to prevent the War in Iraq.
The war happened anyway. Nobody learned anything.
"What do you mean I'm being arrested? I did a protest that one time!"
Meanwhile: "They can't arrest all of us. Get the guns."
The protests against the War in Iraq did nothing. The protests of Trump's first admin did nothing. The protests against segregation did nothing. Or for women's rights. Or for queer rights. Or to end slavery. Or to have representation in England about taxes.
Things are only done with the rich and state fears for their lives. The media ignored 50501, just like it did for the protests of Trump the first go around, and against Bush.
If every single person at the 50501 protest helped their neighborhood to establish mutual aid networks and community trust instead of driving for a few hours to a state capitol, Trump's thugs would have a harder time cracking down on anyone vaguely non-white.
The protests against segregation worked, though. As did the protests against nuclear energy in the Netherlands, protests against all kinds of shit in France, protests for womens votes, etc.
Defeatism never works, though.
No they worked because of the Black Panthers and Malcolm X threatening the white establishment. California under Ronald Reagan push its first gun control laws because the Black Panthers used their 2nd amendment rights to ensure that black americans could walk without fear, vote, and go eat anywhere they wanted to as per the 14th Amendment.
The media has sanitized the movement to sway people into doing anything but asking nicely to an oppressive state is how you get things done, ignoring that when MLK Jr. was alive they called him a rebel who ruined every town he went into.
Defeatism doesn't work, but neither does pretending that the narrative the rich tells us is the whole truth.
