  1. mass show of force is the usual with every department dealing with large groups. You’ll never see a slow trickle of cops that move into the operating area and then form up. They move as one and operate as one. That’s the point. it’s like two large organisms interacting and the cop organism almost always wants to show itself fully so the other side knows what’s happening and how many they’ll be dealing with.
  2. No I think that some of the accounts I post clips from are spewing propaganda in general as their mo. It’s video clips of reality not AI generated fiction like I said I’m looking more at the text and watching the clips to determine if the words describing the clips are actually representing them.
  3. I feel like the majority of people reading that thread are watching clips. If they’re just reading and not watching that on them. Honestly how many of those video tweets are mislabeled? I’m paying more attention to how they’re labeled if that helps but I’m not avoiding certain accounts just because they’re propaganda spewers.
  4. You don’t need screen shots if you have the thread. You mean people have messaged you screenshots of them thinking I’m threadshitting? Let me know so I know what to avoid. I’m not trying to get banned but it’s a little fuzzy at this point. I’ve barely typed much on the protest thread if that’s where the thread shitting is.
  5. If you think posting them all in the span of maybe an hour is less intrusive to the DT board than me posting them over a 12 or 16 hour day, that’s what I’ll do. If I’m bumping the thread multiple times an hour, rather than sporadically all day, I think that’s much less spamy on the day as a whole. I usually do it between 10-12 at night when people are away. I think I’m only posting about maybe 10-15 a day. Not exactly thread hogging.
  6. It’s hard to find those clips. I post what shows up on my feed. good point on their not being any anti semitic stuff in those clips. I didn’t hear anything specifically anti semitic but I also didn’t make that post. I just posted the video of actual reality unfolding.
  7. Would you say the same thing about Brakeman’s posts in the political cartoon thread? The posts on the protest thread are video. The general intent of some of the Twitter accounts is propaganda of course just like lots of social media, but the clips don’t lie. the intent of the cartoon thread is also propaganda, but the messages are creatively constructed to prove a point or show an opinion. I think that the more spamming of propaganda happens to be occurring on the cartoon thread. video vs cartoons I love the cartoon thread I’ve repped brakeman a few times and I posted an anti trump meme in the satire thread. again. Show me the lies or deceptions on any of those protestor clips. Why single those posts out? They are all covering different scenarios and interactions that stand alone as separate stories. They just show what’s happening. I posted the clips of counter protestors getting violent just the same as protestor violence. There isn’t a lot of content coming from the protestor side showing mistreatment etc. if there was I would post without hesitation. If you’ve seen my posts in the Israel thread you know I’m not exactly impressed with how they go about things. I’m not weighing the posts a certain way. Take the devil you know over the devil you don’t know. I don’t have socks it’s just me.
  8. Omg read the room! You are so tone deaf. The internet is important and just because people become more relaxed and easier going as they age, and lots of people on Surly haven’t also made that jump in maturity, doesn’t mean that what they type on these threads is not more import than what other certain people type. lol
  9. Are you mad at the menthol comment Fudge? People on all sides were in agreement and ready to ban menthols but for some reason the president’s people think more discussion is needed. AP article about Biden and menthol cigs
  10. Are you sure I never cared about black people? If I’m using them I guess the governor of New York is also using them. Come to think of it everybody uses blacks as political pawns one way or the other. I guess if I was running for president I wouldn’t ban menthol cigs just yet.
  11. Would you like it served to you by an angry person wearing a keffiyeh?
  12. Ok. But which video from the tweets on this thread are fabrications? I'm down for some media literacy, but that doesn't mean I'll discriminate against certain twitter accounts based on my political beliefs. I see good points all the time about politics I don't agree with on twitter, but that doesn't mean I want to pretend that I didn't see it, or that somehow the point being made was not a good one. I'm more of a truth seeker than a wagon circler. Circle all you want when you see these tweets. I'd rather just see it for what it is. People calling for the extermination of Jews, monkey man, police brutality, etc. All of it.
  13. Is the governor of New York a Karen? Or is lott the Karen?
  14. With all this cunt talk I'm sure it surprises no one that I have a current tweet that celebrates cunts.
  15. I don't agree. Making the comparison isn't racist and should not be made into anti-Semitic law.
  16. What seems to be the problem? Parliament I haven't posted any tweets, or written posts about old Ohio mask laws. That screen cap seems misleading. lf you have trusted sources for tweets, post them here and I'll look at those feeds too when deciding what to post. Why isn't video content ok? I'm just posting what I come across. If you have a more preferred way to disseminate raw footage please share. Otherwise I don't get it. Video is one of the purest forms of news. It doesn't lie. If you feel like there are other sources of tweets that have a more honest context surrounding the vids PLEASE share. Thanks.
  17. Which posts do have a problem with? If you think I'm posting things that didn't happen as described in the text, or are misrepresented somehow, I would like to know. I mostly post video. If that video is out of context to the text just say so and I'll look into it and research for myself. No offense but I wont research before I post. I know some of the tweets are from accounts distasteful to some, but I hope that's not reason enough to look away. This is Imma's quote last Wednesday a.m.
