After the Inauguration, Musk visited Spez on February, and they permabanned thousands, perhaps millions of their most active users. I had a 12 year account, nearly a million Karma, and I was permabanned for repeating an opinion that I had posted numerous times without a word from any mod. Trump gets inaugurated, and suddenly it's enough to get me permabanned.

And there were lots of others. The purge gutted Reddit, and left it filled with nothing but bots and trolls.

This was the plan all along. It became enormously influential, so Trump is forcing China to sell it to MAGA and become ANOTHER mouthpiece for the Conservative Propaganda Machine. They did it to Twitter, they did it to Reddit, and now they're going to do it to TikTok.

That's who I was referring to as PeeWee Mengele.

What? You mean you'll have to actually KNOW something , before you blather on about it? That's un-American!

Those damn Commie bastards!

Hey! That's actually not a bad idea. Can we do that in our government, as well as dopey influencers? Start with PeeWee Mengele.

Trump just channels his childhood accordion lessons. He doesn't even realize he's doing it.

Those 34 felonies are kid stuff compared to his other crimes, like treason, rape, and pedophilia.

I understand keeping track of people entering this country. We can't make it too easy, or every bad person from everywhere would come here, but I also recognize that is a miniscule percentage of actual immigrants. That's why we really need to have due process, because we're probably kicking out a lot of people that would become good taxpaying citizens. But that's all a separate issue.

I'm enormously concerned with this MAGA strategy of sending ANYONE, including criminals, to third countries, and only to those with serious records of human rights abuses, where they will serve life sentences for no crime other than trying to seek a better life for themselves and their families. And it's all done without any lawyers or courts.

Sure, they're just strangers from a strange land, not our problem. But if we let MAGA do it to them, then it's only a matter of time before they do it to the rest of us.

I don't mind them deporting him, but people should be returned to their home country, not to a life sentence in some notorious torture prison. They entered America illegally, they should be sent home, but that doesn't deserve a life sentence in a dungeon.

And NOBODY should go anywhere without due process first.

PedoCons. There's a sociological concept that the rise and success of the Conservative movement has been significantly (and deliberately) driven by being the party that covers for pedophilia. ALL pedophiles choose the Conservative party because they know they'll cover for them, and the conservatives want them because they are easy to manipulate.

All MAGAs are pedophiles, or support and defend pedophiles, which is the same thing.

I first saw that movie in the theater when I was about 7. I thought Captain Von Trapp was badass as fuck when he pulled up to his house, and tore down that Nazi flag.

Even MAGAs have student loans, and they are a major reason that people are avoiding marriage. Nobody wants to get married and double their student loan debt.

Worse, what if you didn't have student loan debt, and you were considering marrying someone with tens of thousands of student loan debt. Would you still marry them, and make that debt yours? Or maybe just live together, and not officially take on that debt?
