Apparently #Marvel retired the original skull logo for #ThePunisher because it was being used by alt right extremists.
Are they really that surprised that a pro America white terrorist is relatable to alt right groups? I've only watched the #MCU#Netflix shows, but he was never portrayed as any sort of hero.
@realcaseyrollins@icedquinn@vriska my favorite origin story is a DC character named Green Arrow who was a rich guy who got really drunk on his yacht and fell overboard. then he washed up on a desert island and had to learn how to bowhunt. for some reason this pivoted to being a masked vigilante, there is probably a reason but I forgotz
@realcaseyrollins what can you do when people sometimes only publish info there? Twitter is trying really hard to become the platform for information such that they kind of even punish links to external sites there... so... :sigh:
@gabriel Amongst the (admittedly few) people I've talked to, it's about 50/50. Folks in their mid 30s and up are paying more attention, but the folks in their 20s and below generally seem not to be too bothered by the direction the country is heading in.
One of my sisters brought home a #Democrat friend on #SpringBreak who was about as oblivious as could be.
A dispatcher can send cops to the wrong house, they go in and kill the residents who were defending themselves, and it's the cops who are prosecuted and not the dispatcher.
the dispatcher might very well be misinformed as well. they just process requests from command and inform the field units. their job does not entail verifying the pedigree of orders beyond if they came from an official channel.
the person with the gun on the other hand is the one trained in use of force, firearms safety, etc. it doesn't matter WHERE they are because they are trained on the rules of engagement that are always true regardless of where he is.

these are a product of the war on drugs, so are illigitimate by default.
this is to say nothing of the fact that they are intentionally scheduled at times to optimize disorientation of civilians, whom are then expected to act in a beyond professional capacity against trained executioners.
@moviesandtv BTW I did find out that narwhal.city is running #Hitide 0.14.0 and #Lotide 0.14.3-rc.1, while lotide.fbxl.net federates just fine and is running #Hitide 0.14.0-dev and #Lotide 0.15.0-dev, it's likely that the federation issues I've experienced have been resolved and the instance just needs to be updated.
😂 In reality #Trump did a lot of really good things, I'm just annoyed by the propensity of the #MAGA crowd to completely ignore the bad things #Trump has done too.
It's a shame that #VivekRamaswamy is out the 2024 race, now I don't really know who to support in the #GOP primaries. All the remaining candidates are problematic in some way.
I was too young to remember who I liked in 2008, but in 2012 I supported #RickSantorum and #HermanCain, and in 2016 I supported #Trump and #TedCruz. Usually we have quality candidates to pick from, but #Trump has scared our deep bench away, perhaps for good reason.
In 2008 I liked Ron Paul but I also really enjoyed Mike Gravel. He participated in at least one Democrat debate before switching to Libertarian and spent most of the debate literally red in the face screaming about how every single one of them was a war criminal.
