@valere My reply was going to be, "If it were in the U.S. it would have been pushed over by now", but @smirk 's Bubble Rock photo makes me feel a tiny bit less bitter about my fellow citizens

@sean @tofugolem @melissachimera I can go for hours doing "one the one hand.. on the other hand.." On the one hand, confronting them gives them oxygen like Melisssa said, On the other hand, I've read good stories about engagement - even positive engagement like the Muslims who offered tea to the people protesting their mosque, or the son of the Stormfront founder who's heart was turned by kindness showed by fellow Jewish students in his university.

Facebook is showing me a lot of "suggested for you's" linking to right wing and conspiracy theory pages. I haven't clicked on any

@smeg So the problem is we're too manly. I guess that makes sense

The “Pedosexual” Physician in the Reduxx article isn't supporting sex with children and wasn't around in the 1930's. Neither were the more disturbing people the article quotes and they are not associated with the institute. And none of this has much to do with the point of the Hartmann post, which is attacks on queer and trans folks often precede attacks on others

"The majority of the books that were targeted do not even have a kiss in them. What they do have, however, are issues like racism, abortion rights, gun control, gay rights, and other topics that encourage kids to think for themselves....... one surprised me the most. The Storyteller is a novel about the Holocaust. It chronicles the growth of anti-Semitism and fascism in Nazi Germany.

@Hyolobrika I guess there's a chance but I don't think it's likely. Book banning is wrong, but school districts should still have independence.

@kingu I was looking to see what this is about, saw the headline, "Aina The End injures her head during a shoot", and for a moment thought someone shot her. That's probably because I'm American

@kingu @hypolite Point still stands. Side note - I don't know why the graphic got kind of messed up. It looked better in GIMP

This is nice. I know there's a lot of ACAB sentiment here on Masto but I never agreed with the first A part. I know a few good C's. But to clarify, the sheriff's office isn't our police dept. They run the jail, provide court security and stuff like that #pride #suffolkva.us

@Hyolobrika @lizstl13 @slothrop Any hate speech encourages violence, especially towards someone who is a likely target

@Hyolobrika @lizstl13 @slothrop I suppose in most cases you'd have to start with a vulnerable group. If there fewer drivers and there was a history of violence or discrimination against them, then sure.

@Hyolobrika @lizstl13 @slothrop I think it could. If you insult a person who is vulnerable, you encourage those who would attack. In some cases, refusal to accommodate someone is warranted. But not in a case of a person who just wants you to respect how they feel

@Hyolobrika @opendna @slothrop But the image you posted, Hyo, isn't from a book that's read to children at story time - at least not that I'm aware of

@Hyolobrika @opendna @slothrop Yeah, we in the US sometimes have a problem with that. But In our defense, I didn't think pronounce were such a controversy in Europe

There is a photo of Kamala Harris in a McDonalds uniform that's going around on FB. It's fake - it's a real photo of someone else with Harris's face pasted onI bet it was made by a right wing troll who will use it to accuse Democrats of creating misinformation. I don't know that - it's a guess.Whether it supports your beliefs or not, be careful about passing along information because anything can be fake#misinformation
