Reddit is compromised.

I’m done as well. Fuck them.

For me, it’s because I invested 13 years into that website, as a mostly-apolitical, slightly left-of-center normie; and then one day they decided that saying “we need to be punching Nazis” or “fuck Elon” is somehow too extreme now, and something we don’t talk about anymore (even in hypotheticals or semi-jest - I mean most of us are just keyboard warriors ffs, and we ain’t out there punching anybody).

Back in my day, saying “we should punch Nazis” was a good thing.

So yeah, I harbor some resentment. I lost some connections with some nerdy, niche, non-political interests and hobbies of mine, just because I hate Fascism so, so very much, and I was willing to say so.

So, fuck them.

Happened to me. I didn’t say anything too radical (something about punching Nazis), but discussing the temporary ban resulted in a permanent ban.

They’re really clamping down on people saying not-very-radical anti-Fascist things.

Good riddance.

Reddit is now Fascist media. They will suppress talk of armed resistance, if (god forbid) it comes to that.

That’s how we got the Nazis to stop the first time around: we sat down with them over a cup of tea and expressed our unity with them.

Oh no, wait, that’s not how we defeated Fascism, at all.

We didn’t defeat the Nazis the first time with amnesty, conversation, and kindness.

We defeated them by stabbing them, shooting them, and fire bombing their cities.

We will have to do it again.

Man, I’m torn on this one.

We have two grocery stores in our exurban area.

Kroger, as a corporation, contributes to politicians of both US parties in roughly equal measure. Less than ideal (zero contributions), but not too bad I guess. But, they do have an obnoxious customer loyalty card program. Boo!

Publix, on the other hand, doesn’t have a customer loyalty card program at all. Yay! But, the corporation and their leadership contribute HEAVILY to the new Trumpy GOP, Matt Gaetz in particular. So, fuck them.

I’m boycotting Publix. Lesser of two evils I guess.

I really wish we had a locally-owned mom ’n pop grocery. I’d pay a premium for that.
