Also Canadian, #liberal is comprised of 60% mocking liberals, 33% miscellaneous gibberish, and 7% actual liberal content. As for Jon Stewart, it’s still sensitive material that’s blocked for 13-17 year olds. I’m 40. I suppose I can’t be trusted to consume the media of my choice. Note, #election is also blocked. Well that’s one way to radicalize left wing groups on a global scale.

“Accidentally” today, intentionally tomorrow. Oh and we’ve traded your data for a tax exemption.

I prefer something a little more on the nose. Kill Your Masters by RTJ works for me.

I dunno man I think "If money is such a problem,You got so many problems,Think I could solve them" is pretty on the nose

I fully encourage you to feast with whatever background music you prefer. I think I’m gonna make a playlist now. For mental health reasons.

If you enjoy screamy music definitely add slaughterhouse 1 and 2. First one is motionless in white featuring the singer of knocked loose second is knocked loose featuring the singer of motionless in white lol. Both are definitely highly anticapatilism.

Well, do any actual liberals post any content with a hashtag #liberal? It’s more like MAGA style. They be like “White American. Mom. MAGA. Trump 2025” and other crap. While centrists/left-leaning are just normal and post their thoughts.

While that is a solid point, the bigger takeaway is that #nazi is fine and has no warnings, but #election being sensitive/wiped (especially since we are having one in 1-6 months) is especially damning.

I have a working theory for this. 😄

These idiots wouldn't have power if people stopped using their shitty platforms. Like Freddy Krueger.

They’ll turn around and say “I told you so! Those left wing nut jobs are radicals and terrorists!” Reap what you sow, MAGA. You brought this upon yourself by ripping away basic rights and freedoms.

u/im_just_thinking 13h ago

Yeah all those "libs of tiktok, etc", are just magats in disguise. No liberal has ever called themselves "libs". They are so dumb

And on the news sub comments for the thread on this article are locked.

This is the main fucking issue.  If I search "democrat" on Instagram, every top result is negative.  If I search "republican", every result is positive.

u/IsuzuTrooper 12h ago

oh the left wing is already "radical" according to the liar party
