Mastodon, pros and cons:

Cons:

- nazis are on the fediverse

Pros:

- we don't have to look at them
- there's more of us then there are of them
- we have the potential for a new and golden age of counter-trolling

The funny thing is that conservatives get WAY more mad at caricature accounts then leftists do

Conservatives imitating leftists: I'm an America hating communist homosexual and I love to burn flags and suck dick

Actual leftists: all of this is literally true, I'd have said the same thing about myself

vs.

Leftists imitating conservatives: every day I pay an Ayn Rand impersonator to peg me while wearing an American Flag bodysuit because I love free speech #freespeech #whitegenocide #benghazi

Actual Conservatives: HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT ME, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, IM A NAVY SEAL, I (1/237)

Already got some folks from The Other Half Of Mastodon getting mad about this one
@Dayglochainsaw If I had the space for it, I'd start burning flags just to celebrate the fact that I can.
@BestGirlGrace
Burning flags because I love freedom.
@Dayglochainsaw A nation that doesn't punish flag burning is freer than one that does, which is weird because the "freedom" types get really mad about it. I'm starting to think it's not really about freedom at all.
@BestGirlGrace @Dayglochainsaw These same folks will strap a flag outside their truck and then go beat the shit out of it by driving on the highway for hours. I'm always tempted to go up and say:
"So it's the *speed* of the destruction that you hate flag burning? It's OK if you torture it slowly over time?"
@Dayglochainsaw time 2 list off all the firearms and krav maga shirts i have while being extremely not red and mad
@Dayglochainsaw "it's time to burn flags ans suck dick. And I'm all outta dick"
@Dayglochainsaw i think the conservative would be more like
"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which..."

@Dayglochainsaw
Awww I expected to read the full speech   

 

@Dayglochainsaw it's bizarre that conservatives think any of the things they point out about us are bad
@Dayglochainsaw Mad is just the default state of the conservative
@Dayglochainsaw It also drives home just how deep the projection about "snowflakes" always has been, since most leftists I know can deal with critiques of their ideas etc.
But if you tell a conservative they're wrong they get all angry and write in caps and shit.
