At least given him a few months to alienate and turn on his staff and cabinet first. Let him throw out the first choice psychophants who would gladly carry on his program.

They were already doing that from their social media accounts from inside their cells, but now they can hold meetings.

He did this deliberately because he needs an extralegal militia to do his bidding.

Accidental like Strangelove, perhaps. Just an involuntary spasm revealing his true nature.

Pretty much every time I stumble across a post from tumblr, yeah.

Gone, maybe. Forgettable, hopefully, but never forgotten. Forgetting just means someone new will repeat it.

"that orange freak" suffices

Well, a known fascist tactic is making examples out of randomly chosen people who allegedly said the wrong thing in the wrong place. The amount of noise doesn't matter in that case. They'll just pick people at random they can persecute publicly in an attempt to scare everyone into clamming up and obeying.

At that point, there is no point in censoring yourself, because they will target you randomly regardless. At that point, there will be no point in saying or not saying anything online, because the only recourse will be [removed by lemmy.world admins] until the last one is [removed]

The US government and its oligarch pals has so much data on each of us already that if you haven't been completely sanitary with your internet usage from the start, you're already in a database, and there's no point in worrying about it now.

I agree with the sentiment of this post, but let's face it: if we get to the point where they're sending secret police to everyone who ever said "fuck Trump" online, we're beyond fucked, and electronic defenses will be moot at that point. Using euphemisms for Trump and Musk won't save you from their surveillance.

Right now, it's important to be outspoken about every one of their abuses, to name and shame them for as long as it's still allowed, because the moment it's not, there won't be anything left to defend.

It's far too late for all of my accounts already, and I'm not going to waste my time going back through them and scrubbing every instance of me talking about how Elon Musk buries his four inch cock up to the balls in Donald Trump's throat while Jeffrey Bezos pegs them both with Clint Eastwood's Oscar statues every other Sunday, but he's not allowed to cum unless Vladimir Putin says so over the Zoom window he watches from.

I still don't understand what the fuck a cake has to do with it. In my universe, a cake is for special occasions, not whatever trivial bullshit this is.

Seriously. Who the fuck actually wastes their time on this shit?

Edit: Self-reflection creeps in as I realize I'm just getting old and these kids on my lawn are just speaking their idiot slang.
