A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

That's the issue, Musk and all think they are the resistance. That's why they say "take back America". From the elites, ignoring that they are the rich elites.

Perpetual victim mentality.

Wait is this why we don't have rich people building giant monuments and libraries and art galleries with their names prominently on them anymore? Because they actually think they're the underclass??

Because seriously some of the most fire art galleries I've been to are the ones that are paid for by the worst fucking exploitative billionaires you'll ever read about. Shout out to the Guggenheim, btw

I mean damn if Rockefeller plaza isn't nice.

But for sure everyone feels like the victim all the time now regardless of how well off you are. Maybe we are growing immune to shame? I dunno but I miss people like Hershey building a free theater and a nice garden because his employees would strike.

Pretty much, they wanna be the goodies instead of the baddies, but they don't wanna change anything, so they'll just be the baddies while pretending otherwise

That’s the issue, Musk and all think they are the resistance.

Pretty sure Stephanie was saying the people still using Twitter love to think they'd join the resistance, but won't even stop using Twitter. Not that Elon thinks he's the resistance.

Yes. And what I'm saying is that Elon and the people still using Twitter think they are the resistance. I'm saying they won't leave Twitter because they think they are the resistance.

None of the queer people I know think using Shitter is a good thing. It's just that the ones still on Shitter don't care enough about fighting fascism.
