Probably a good tag line for #Mastodon is: "There's nobody here!" You know, because no one uses Mastodon. And anyone thinking of joining you can give them the tag line: "There's nobody here!" You know, it'll be a reverse psychology thing. Make them even more curious. #TheresNobodyHere

Today's News: Donald Trump endorsed the ethnic cleansing of #Gaza, which is support for a war crime ... Meaning he has joined all the other western leaders in committing and supporting war crimes ... Which includes your favourite centre or supposed left-of-centre politician who you very much prefer over Donald Trump, but is really very cosy with him, barely different to him, both pandering to corporate interests and supporting war in resource-rich countries. It's all the rage nowadays, committing war crimes And it's our leaders committing them.
The thing about media and the passive language they use. They describe Elno's Nazi salute as 'a Nazi-like' salute, or he 'appears to' make a Nazi salute, or they call it a Roman salute. And, yes, none of us can read minds so we cannot say for certain it is a Nazi salute - even though it's the exact same salute the Nazis used. But that passive language provides so much cover. Next we will have fascists marching down the street, taking over, and the news outlets will be saying: "Protesters dressed in far right costumes are protesting civilisation by staging a mock militant style coup in the style of a fascist takeover." After that, they'll be saying: "How did we end up in a dictatorship?"
