@rgegriff How could they have known that using your own hardware to build a little digital model of you in order to control your thoughts and actions was the line?

@DoomsdaysCW Neem oil is effective against many insect pests, including Japanese beetles! I hear companion planting with Marigolds is also effective

@indivisibleteam they're not secret police, they lack subtlety. Definitely more of a "paramilitary death squad" vibe

@redsad Who's strawmanning now? I didn't mention Stalin as a criticism of the far left. I WAS calling out his present day fanbois, who DO EXIST on mastodon. Sure that are a minority, but it only takes one demagogue to shit in the pool. If you had any long term experience with real protest movements you would know this.

@redsad Way to go champ, can't wait to see what other kind of easily avoidable mistakes you'll drag the movement into by ignoring history. you gonna jail buddhist monks and burn pop music records too?

@redsad Well, there was the reign of terror, the Bolshevik uprising, the cultural revolution, night of the three P's...

KKK and ICE are easily worse than these, but we need to be conscious once the Left wins political strength, there are (mostly AMAB) elements who will try to abuse their new found power. If you want to see who that will be, look for those claiming Joseph Stalin never actually killed anybody and that witchcraft is Anti-Revolution.
