Any time I've seen a Bluesky three arrows pfp - their bio always has shit like "Moderate. Realist. No far right. No far left..." It might as well read "I am a big dipshit horseshoe theorist." And for some other people at Bluesky being anti-communist via euphemism is perfectly acceptable.
That's just their way of saying "I am politically illiterate and know nothing about anything, and my entire historical knowledge comes from reddit memes"
I haven't commented in any political Reddit sub since 2024. And I've only been there for politics in in very brief passing for the past couple years. Now that Trump is going to spend at least $40 billion just on concentration camps to literally warehouse human beings - I wonder what the new lib "How we gonna pay for it?" verbal meme is.
Ninja edit. I just realized that even though I was joking - libs only need one verbal meme for anything we want. It's the thought-terminated cliché "We have to stop Trump."
I can't say that I'm overly familiar with the Bluesky Three Arrows crowd, but bsky is generally just Lib central.
Bluesky was fun before the 2016 election. It had a "back to brunch" vibe and I could eavesdrop. But then the site became mostly lame. And now it's (very) tedious on top of that. An example - people are arguing about the 2028 presidential race and Newsom in particular. But not a way that's insightful, amusing or c/slop-worthy. Plus there are "Why do people keep talking about 2028 presidential race and Newsom in particular?" meta-posts.
I realized I wasn't clear so I edited my post. Somebody simply saying "I'm anti-communist" is so uncouth. It just won't do.
