news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If you don't piss off the nazis already indirectly genociding and legislating you into nonexistence (Florida is the vanguard for that, under certain easily met conditions you can end up getting the death penalty simply for being trans in the wrong place) then the nazis won't keep doing that.
You're right that this will definitely cause a major backlash but at the same time the implication that possibly fed up or unhinged partners, friends, relatives, allies may randomly and unpredictably pick up guns and start taking out these 2010s era GOP shock jocks and trolls (they all received funding from GOP billionaires pretty early) can be a deterrent. It used to be common sense that you can't be publicly incendiary and an extremist agitator against marginalized minorities unless you had damn good security.
Kirk etc all started as rage porn creators owning libs, triggering the libs etc and were begging for over the top reactions to get views. Charlie just peaked at his game.
