This is what a brain damaged Republican sounds like when he tries to wax poetic about his strawmen.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Haven't we all just been living under constant nuclear threat since we were basically born? It's kind of hard to be anxious about it since it's basically the background radiation we've been told not to prioritize or think too much about since we were kids but I would wager each one of us has a nebulous and ill defined "in case of bomb" plan.
Im pretty sure we still ARE under nuclear threat now that Russia decided to go invading again and that the US has a fascist dictatorship rolling up.
Dictionary knows only the meaning of isolated words. They have no ground to stand on.
They could have asked why there are nuclear threats. At some point OP would have to admit that the sky is not woke enough and that more non-binary fuss is needed.
Spends youth doing duck and cover drills from fear of Russian nuke launches. Now, licks the boots of....checks notes....Russia.
We were not ready for the internet and 24 hour news.
Nanomachines, son!
Who needs ChatGPT to make slop when we've got right wing clowns?

Also who the hell is he referring to? Pakistan has had nukes since like ‘98
I'm a leftist GenX whose served aboard 3 nuclear submarines, over a 20 year career. Ive slept between ballistic nuclear missiles, on top of torpedoes, mines, and tomahawk missiles early in my career, but later, switched to a standard bed (rack) on the boats..can I reflect and make a fuss?
No. You can be thanked for your service but you cannot protest when your benefits are reduced.
Darth Vader, "I'm altering the deal. Pray that I don't alter it any further."
You nailed it
as long as it's non-binary
I'm sorry, did I miss a mass disarmament event? It may not be as novel as it used to be, but the dull threat of nuclear war has been a constant backdrop in our lives.
like a lot of us of a certain age lived through fucken CHERNOBYL.
Weird how those who try to use the word “woke” as a pejorative usually reveal themselves to be infected with the broke mind virus.
The duality of republicans. Be scared of Russia nuking us over Ukraine to lick their boot, but also belittle gen z for not living through the cold war, while also starting a cold war with China.

I'm just waiting for them to start calling oxygen and water woke so they either stop breathing or shrivel up like a sun dried dog turd.

Can we get him on technicalities? 'Cos millenials start in '81 and there was very much nuclear threatening
Nuclear threats never went away. There's a proxy war between nuclear powers happening right now. India and Pakistan just had a spat. Seems like some American elites want to fight China.
Sometimes I wonder if nuclear winter will cancel out climate change.

millennials haven't lived a single day without nuclear threats, the fuck is he moping on about?
There aren't 2 nuclear armed empires facing each other down and fighting proxy wars in poorer parts of the world. Instead there are multiple smaller nuclear armed empires facing off and fighting real wars with the crumbling husks of NATO and the soviets acting like they still have spheres of total control and ideological backing while their citizens struggle to get by.
Sounds like a great upgrade history definitely ended in 1991.
Let me help the dictionary out. It means old man yells at the cloud.
You just know he thought this sounded so fucking cool in his heads before he typed it out.
"Oh yeah, this is going to piss off so many Liberal Snowflakes. -post-"
-Gets ratio'd to hell and back by the fucking dictionary-
On the bright side, this word vomit will by itself probably set AI language models back a year.
Every day is a day lived under nuclear threat as long as pricks like this exist.
My reaction to the rep's post in screenshot:
It's weird how the people that have always been against drugs are the people on drugs.

But... Russia makes nuclear threats every other week!
Why worry about nuclear war when the corpations are choking the planet. In fact, nuclear war would be prefer at this point.
slow death from corporate hubris < quick-ish death from nuclear self annihilation
i long to see the woke sky...
Said by a member of the Legislative Branch of the government that started the nuclear arms race...on Twitter. Forget self-awareness tests. This person probably couldn't pass the mirror test.
I think what he's trying to say is that what the "woke" have fought for pales in comparison to living through the cold war?
I don't fucking know, my brother in crust the ocean absorbs the energy of 5 small yield nuclear weapons a second because your generation didn't want the gravy train to end, don't harp on about a nuclear sword of damacles you fucking parasite
This guy is a band naming genius
