I've used #BlueSky for about a day or two more than a year ago, and defended feminist views / criticized people slandering JK Rowling. Today, got this email. It can't be stressed enough just how much of a clown show the whole platform is. Apparently, they consider the expression of feminist opinions to be terrorism and criminal.I think it's probably based on the fact that I said the nazis did not specifically persecute "trans people" in the way they persecuted gay people or Jews. According to trans activists, that's "Holocaust revisionism," which they excuse JK Rowling of. And from there, I'm guessing, they tell themselves that my posts could be considered to be disseminating content for neo-nazi groups, hence this moderation decision. It's mental gymnastics at Olympic level.They are living in an alternate reality, and the reason they're perpetually mad is that actual reality won't bend to their will. It's sad.

@taylan It was designed to be a hugbox for the kind of people that made both Twitter and Western society as a whole miserable between 2015 and 2023, what did you expect?

@taylan Slander and using motte-and-bailey tactics when confronted on being slanderous (which they'll only do if they might look bad, otherwise they'll just mock you for getting mad about said slander) are two of their favorite tactics. "Personalize the enemy" and "No bad tactics, just bad people" are two lines of thinking that are their mantra. It's why they can be so bloodthirsty and have the body count they have while acting like they're about love and peace and standing up to a genocidal enemy.https://bolenreport.com/saul-alinskys-12-rules-radicals/

@mrsaturday I think the linked article misses the mark. This kind of insane tribalism, dishonest tactics, etc. isn't unique to either side of the political spectrum.By the way, I thought the text at the top must be some kind of anti-socialist satire, but apparently Saul Alinsky was an actual socialist activist, and the text is wrongly attributed to him in an attempt to defame and paint him as a villain. That's a tad bit ironic.

@taylan No, the tactics aren't unique to either side, or any side, really, but they've had such a poisonous effect on our discourse as a society that it deserves to be attacked for what it is. I don't think he's a villain. He was just pointing out what works. He probably didn't understand just how it was going to impact things on the macro level when he outlined those tactics. To be fair, thinking big picture is pretty difficult, especially when you're trying to come up with solutions for a specific issue.

@mrsaturday Yeah the "Rules for Radicals" were apparently actually written by him for real, and they're kinda disgusting. It's tactics you might use in a war of sorts, but you have to ask yourself if war is really what you want... (Even if it's just "information war" or whatever. I hate every kind of war.)

@taylan That's the thing. Treating conversation like war is how you get to this point, and Bluesky was designed to be a bunker for people that do that. It's a major reason why I hate the site as much as I do. Twitter was meant to provide microblogging via text message. The 140 character limit was originally because SMS had a 160 character limit, and Twitter would use 20 characters as an identifier and let you text in your tweets. It was apolitical to start with, then got co-opted, and then co-opted again. Bluesky and Mastodon were meant from the very beginning to provide a safe place for people that treat the world like a series of windmills to charge at. They both benefit from and encourage paranoia, narcissism, and mutual hostility among people that, for all intents and purposes, should at least tolerate one another, if not get along.

@mrsaturday @taylan Conservatives have read Rules for Radicals. Progs have not. I've read it; they're not using it.BTW: Alinsky's intention in writing the book was to lessen some of the more ridiculous antics of the 1970's. Leftists have never been overly fond of it.I'm on bluesky. It's tolerable as long as you mute freely, and follow former Republicans and journalists.OTOH, I block freely on X. I end up going into the comments on one of the more popular posts, and end up blocking the bot swarm.

@LostInCalifornia @taylan They absolutely use certain aspects of the tactics, regardless of who read what. It's a good lens into the rot that's infesting modern society. For the most part, especially once you get younger than 40, progressives get their understanding of the world from social media influencers more than anything as high-minded as an actual activist or political thinker. Conservatives really didn't start leaning into the tactics until later. In fact, I'd say a lot of what you see with Trump and his administration are insanely clumsy attempts at imitating the excesses of the progressive methods over the last 10 years.I still maintain that the site was designed to profit off of the social decay it helps to encourage, even if you can try to "fix it" by muting the 95% of the site that's screaming at moderation to ban said former Republicans and journalists.

@mrsaturday @taylan They use the bits people who have read tell them, then change them. That's part and parcel of the organization structure.You mean to say Trump is imitating the successes of Orban, and using RW propaganda techniques. No American leftist advocates for firing a gun into someone's head while they're trying to obey orders and get their car out of the way, nor do they invade houses without a judicial warrant or reasonable cause. Most progs, like almost all liberals and mainstream Republicans, believe in the Constitution and human rights. Trump quite simply does not.Nor do they advocate for open borders, noncitizens voting in state and national elections, how to may a profit off food stamps, or any of the other absolutely ridiculous conspiracy theories I have seen repeatedly floated.

Those are hate speech and hate speech is not free speech.""I support the right to due process, unless the due process doesn't look how I want it to, then I'll harass the prosecutor and judge and jurors until we can replace them with activists that give us the results we want. Also jailing too many people of a certain ethnicity is racist regardless of why it's happening""I support the right to due process, unless a female college student accuses a male one of rape, then we need to threaten the school's student loan funding unless they hold show trials expelling male students to show they're serious about tackling the problem""I support the right to due process, unless they were at the January 6th riots, then they deserve to be jailed for 2 years while waiting for their trial and getting their brains beat in by the guards. They were traitors, unlike antifa in Portland trying to firebomb the federal courthouse. They want to punch Nazis like me and they're just like their granddads that stormed Omaha Beach"Gimme a break

@mrsaturday @taylan Bullshit.The scariest part for you so far, the part you lie about so intensely, is that they are outside agitators.The scariest part for you to come is that the autopsy shows that she was executed from the side. Civil law suit, I hope her family rinses DHS for million$ And the State of Minnesota has jurisdiction for murder, even over federal law enforcement. There is no statute of limitations for murder. That is even more scary. You're either going to have to retreat further into delusion world, or face some angry hurt feelings to come to grip.

@LostInCalifornia @taylan I'm only scared in that I think a major political party instigating riots as a campaign tactic is incredibly damaging to a healthy democracy. The guy that shot Renee Good should be rung up on manslaughter charges, but the butch that got out of her car to try to pick a fight with him and said "punch it honey" just before that happened doesn't deserve a damn dime. I saw the body cam footage. Why does this only happen during election years? ICE killed people in the Chicago area in 2025, and I didn't see Starbucks socialists running around with megaphones then.If you want to put on your lawyer pants, the antifa trash putting up barricades to prevent federal law enforcement from operating are committing sedition, and the feds would be well within their rights to march them into a courtroom and ship them off to Sandstone for a 20 year vacation. AOC will probably pardon them as thanks for helping with the campaign effort in 3 years, so they probably won't be stuck serving the full term, unless she thinks they're too white to bother.Earlier today we just saw another case of Main Character Syndrome go terminal. I hope it was worth it. Maybe he can look on from the afterlife, see if the results in November are to his liking, and rest easy. I know his family and friends won't.

@taylan A plague on both your houses, then.The Nazis didn't single out trans people but their persecution of gay men was absolutely driven by the belief their victims were 'acting against their nature,' i.e. that their same sex desire was a womanly urge in a male body. Even in the Anglosphere as recently as my own damn lifetime it was commonly held that being gay *was* a form of transgenderism. The Nazis were also very much aware that Magnus Hirschfeld's research established the history and transcultural prevalence of transgender, agender, and third gender people, and it's not a fucking accident that Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology was chosen by the Nazis for the first major public book burning — setting back the elaboration of the social category of transgender in the West by fifty years.I don't see you as a Holocaust denier. I see you as an ahistorical pedant. A plague on all your bullshit.

@onekind > The Nazis were also very much aware that Magnus Hirschfeld's research established the history and transcultural prevalence of transgender, agender, and third gender people, The concept of "transgender" did not even exist until way after WW2, let alone agender.Hirschfeld coined the term "transvestite" and used mostly that. He also coined "transsexual" but barely used the term.In virtually every culture that has had a "third gender," it was a category for gay/effeminate men, because they would not be considered "real men" under the patriarchal and sexist social structures that permeated most of the planet, Nazi or not.You won't hear of any historic reports of teenage girls trying to dye their hair and identifying as "non binary" and then being considered part of a third gender. Not in 1920s Germany, and not anywhere else in the history of humanity.> and it's not a fucking accident that Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology was chosen by the Nazis for the first major public book burningNo, it's not an accident: It's because he was gay and Jewish.The Nazis did not persecute "trans people" as such; only those who were deemed "degenerate" for some other reason, such as engaging in homosexuality.Even people with a "transvestite pass" (a medical document saying you're allowed to cross dress in public) were not automatically persecuted; the pass was merely nullified.Cross dressing in and on itself has a rich carnival-related history in Germany and there's even photos showing Wehrmacht soldiers cross dressing:https://www.creativeboom.com/inspiration/soldier-studies-fascinating-photographs-of-cross-dressing-in-the-third-reichs-army/In summary:No uniform policy under the Nazis ever targeted people for cross dressing or transvestitism. The concept of transsexuality was barely heard of, and the concept of transgender would not be invented until decades later.Under Nazi rule, one was not supposed to engage in behaviours that would today be associated with "being trans," but people who engaged in such behaviours were not persecuted unless they could be shown to run afoul of some other rule.Ergo: Even ignoring the ahistoric use of modern terms, "trans people" were not persecuted by the Nazis in the way gay men or Jews were.> I don't see you as a Holocaust denier. I see you as an ahistorical pedant. A plague on all your bullshit.It's you who's being ahistorical.The notion that "Nazis persecuted transgender people" is an anachronistic invention. It makes about as much sense as saying "Nazis persecuted cosplayers" or "Nazis persecuted the anime fandom" because if you squint you can draw some parallel between these modern subcultures and some subculture in pre-WW2 Germany that enjoyed far-eastern art. Very un-German!The only reason anyone is talking about "Nazi persecution of transgender people" is so they can engage in lazy, dishonest tactics in political debate, painting their critics as being in some way associated with The Big Evil.It's "everyone I don't like is Hitler" but with extra steps.
