    What does 8647 refer to? I feel like I’m missing something obvious.

    Also not sure about using the picture of the manic looking liberal lady as a template for this. She probably hates Trump as much - if not more - than you. Plus she’s had alt-right people posting these unflattering pictures of her online for years.

    I’ve not seen a ton of reactions, but the only people shitting on Biden for having cancer is Hasanabi & friends (the second-largest political streamer, BTW).

    I do not shed any tears for the politicians and leaders that croak. Perhaps, I will when for the one who builds a socialized healthcare system for every single legal US resident based on the same healthcare former President Biden is receiving.

      I’ll say it here because it’s not ever said.

      Republican’s cannot appreciate what Americans built because they didn’t sacrifice anything to build it.

      Democrat’s cannot appreciate what Americans built because they believe they were the ones that built it.

      Americans can’t appreciate what we built because both Republicans and Democrats want us to believe we are powerless.

      We need to ignore our government and do what we as Americans believe is the best course of action. A government is empowered by the people for the people. If our government has chosen to ignore the laws we as a country have agreed to abide by, then we have the responsibility to return the courtesy.

      I’m not advocating for lawlessness, I’m advocating for Americans to stand up against fascism and tyranny. Tyrannical rule doesn’t follow laws but one. Strength over subjects comes to those who wield it.

      I refuse to be oppressed and subjugated by a tyrant in orange face paint. I refuse to be subjected to the corruption of this cabinet of thieves.

      I don’t even understand the point. I know americans love to censor stuff, but you just replace killing or death with unalive. Instead of pedophile you say pdf file and so on. Soon you’ll be to sensitive to hear ualive, then some influencer make up a new word, until the english language just consists of the 9 least offensive emojis. And all for what? Because parents who are scared of bad words on the internet. And by bad words i mean words children learn by the age of 6

      Kinda already doing it by being on the fediverse since this trend is a direct result of corporate induced censorship aimed at keeping platforms “advertiser friendly”.

      I believe it’s mostly to bypass mainstream social media filters. Words like ”killing” tend to be blocked.

      While we’re speaking of putting an end to things, it would be nice to put an end of this meme image. She made a slightly funny face for one frame in a video, and now that’s her legacy.

        It’s partially a cargo cult at the moment.

        It used to be like that, people did their own captions for TikTok using capcut and corp-censored bad words in the text but still said them aloud.

        But now TikTok can caption videos automatically and it WILL show “killed” and “murdered” if the word is said.

        So if they wanted to censor something, it’s just a matter of a word filter from the captions

        they started to change, when youtube is switching to a more targeted audience of young children. thats why they have been heavy handing in moderating violence, sex on videos, or curse words. thats why MR beast is still big there. right wing content gets a free pass though for youtube.

            unalive is such a new term that is forced on by many platforms. also yt goes hard on even news reporting violence on children if it shows a video of it.

      Just say kill instead of this dystopian Tik Tok bullshit. I refuse to use any service that won’t let me talk about the real world without using insane workarounds. It serves nobody’s best interests and is only an arms race of fear because people think McDonald’s would prefer to sell hamburgers next to the word unalive rather than dead or kill.

        I would really like a new age of social media that uses technology advances to monitor intent, not language.

        Censoring someone from saying “I’ve made a lot of advances in my mental health since I was raped, but it feels like I’m hiding my whole struggle anytime I step out the door.” is ironically going to damage their mental health. Meanwhile, use of that word in many other sentences should obviously trigger a ban. And to go one further, many sentences with all “safe” words can be the most harmful.

        I would even say that type of censorship leads people to falsely believe everything is fine in the world, and that causes like diversity initiatives or police reform are unnecessary.

          I was trying to share a news article about the local police mishandling rape cases and there was literally no way I could phrase a description of it that wasn’t getting censored by social media. It was extremely disturbing to me that I would either have to explain it in extremely vague terms like you’d explain it to a child or just not share it at all. Meanwhile, actual fascist propaganda is being allowed on these platforms and staying up. It’s absurd.

      I had this feeling as well but then I saw that one etymology guy on a podcast. He said using “unalive” has helped a lot of young people be able talk about suicide and death more openly and easily. I’m not going to grammar police then if it leads to growth and open discussion. Even if it sounds silly to me.

        The problem with treating certain words as taboo and then using euphemism around them is that it works for a few years tops before you need a new euphemism.

        It’s better to promote a society where things like death and suicide are not taboo.

        If talking about death is such a taboo it speak a lot about the culture they’re cultivating than the word itself tbh.

        I also see a lot of people flipping out when “dead” is used, so it makes sense to me why people push back.

      I mean, if it was before the Democratic Primaries to force an open primary, sure. Its one person getting sick vs the entire country, its a great sacrifice.

      But Now? I don’t care either way. Like, I don’t feel pleasure in people getting sick or dying. Its just a trolley problem to me.
