Every time my mom forwards me some stupid thing from a political source I take her off their mailing list.

How do you get the unsubscribe link for someone else?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's usually a generic link that asks for your email address.

Gives new meaning to 'Parental Controls'.

Probably the duration where children have to raise their parents is longer than vice versa

I blocked fox news at the work tv because someone changed it to that. I switched it to espn and came back to see fox business and blocked that too. I got moved and didn't really care until someone told me they watch news max, so i made it my mission to go there and block that too.

I can't even unlock it cause i entered random pin; you can block without pin, but need pin to unlock

Hackers, if you can hear me, hack the smart TVs to block Fox and Sinclair

My mum is solidly liberal and I'm so happy for it but my dad used to have Fox radio on on Sirius all the time even though I don't think he was actually believing all of it.

It was so awkward when I had to listen to the hosts talk about people being trans in the cruelest terms on our way back to his house when I was in the closet back in 2016.

I never got to come out to him but I think he'd be ok but to this day that's the saddest regret I had

Sorry the post just reminded me of him

this is actually wild then. democracy is a right. everyone deserves one vote, whether u like their opinion or not. maybe use your words to convince them instead next time

Fascists don't believe in democracy. There is no talking to them and they won't obey the rules of the system. They must be crushed without mercy or we can kiss democracy goodbye.

We have to stop fascism and preserve democracy by checks notes forcibly stopping people who disagree with me from voting

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's completely dishonest to pretend that the situation we are in is the usual left vs right debate. It's people who believe in the Constitution and democracy vs fascists. Fascism isn't just a political disagreement. It is an existential threat to all freedom.

So what happens when the vote decides who lives or dies? Because that is unironically what's been happening the past few years. Do we let people vote to kill or ostracize innocents?

I don't disagree with you but the American political situation is becoming so monstrously genocidal that that is a serious question we need to ask

I used to periodically block Facebook groups on my dad's account. He's still a fucking moron, he's just reciting old fake news now instead of fresh.

The irony is that this person looks like a royalist
