Consider this: by using a cutesy nickname, it evades mutewords and may make it harder for people to practice self-care - Beryllium Jan 18, 08:55 [mastodon] 1
- Yup. I've ended up blocking posters here for this reason. I can't keep adding to the mute list so the person just gets blocked. -- nm - spamlet Jan 18, 09:06
I wish you wouldnt -- nm - mud Jan 18, 08:36 14
- Why? Hitler gained power because no one stopped him early. Trump's progression isn't any different. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 08:38 13
  - Whenever I see anyone who uses demeaning nicknames for people they disagree with politically, I assume they have nothing else to contribute. - Roger More Jan 18, 09:48
  - I don't think it changes any minds, here or elsewhere (especially here). -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:45 4
    - Im not trying to change minds though. Just stating hard facts. - Jovian Jan 18, 08:46 3
      - Aside from being as grating on the eyes as constantly seeing vulgarity/profanity, - Max Jan 18, 09:07
      - Ok, and it passes a mental load on to the people processing it, without actually changing things. - Reagen Jan 18, 08:55
      - we see the parallels, obviously. It's the 1930s, we don't want to see it become the 1940s with nukes. -- nm - mud Jan 18, 08:49
  - I agree with the sentiment and all that, but seeing the name over and over? The next year will be tough enough without that . - mud Jan 18, 08:42 3
    - fair. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 08:59
    - I hear ya there. But its not like I post that much about him any more. (only when I see basically Dictator declarations like this) -- nm - Jovian Jan 18, 08:44 1
      - if you simply have to use something, why not dictator instead? — nm - i.b.! Jan 18, 09:18
  - The parallels between the rise of the Third Reich and MAGA are 100% undeniable. AND HONESTLY... -- (edited) - Jovian Jan 18, 08:41 2
    - I'm the guy that argued that ***** is worse than ****** -- nm - mud Jan 18, 08:43 1
      - Its insane that we are all alive to see history repeat itself like this. -- nm - Jovian Jan 18, 08:45
and everyone else should as well. -- nm - Jovian Jan 18, 08:23 1
- nah. you’re among like-minded friends here, even our more conservative folks see him for what he is. what’s the point, when his name alone works? - i.b.! Jan 18, 09:03
