Those of us who are sane totally get it.

The news media here are owned. Those things are happening, but they're not being reported.

The United States isn't a superpower.

It's just a country with a lot of guns.

In the U.S. we're taught to brag about how much we're exploited, as if it's a virtue.

It's a very sick culture.

If you're complaining about gay people, you're not complaining about us denying you a living wage.

If you're complaining about transgender people, you're not complaining about us denying you medical care.

If you're complaining about furries, you're not complaining about us denying you education.

I guess we really want you to complain about those things.

Hmm, yes, it's almost as if we have a government that isn't functioning and there seem to be no options that are legal under the current government...

Unfortunately, he's not up for reelection until 2028, at which time he'd be 78 years old, so probably wouldn't be running anyway.

They are DEFINITELY controlled opposition.

No, Dems are pissed at him, and at the Congressional Dems who supported him. You just can't understand that Schumer and those elected Dems are not the majority of the Dems. They're just the people in power.

Most of us are NOT okay with this.

The government created media infrastructure to isolate people from each other so most of us would not find out. It's like the Matrix.

A lot of us know and are trying to do things about it.

I'm not saying that anyone should stop supporting him.

I am saying that if the end goal is to communicate messages of support for the types of things he did, it would likely make more sense to post pictures that couldn't be easily filtered.

Groups of teens would get a message across("guillotines") but would be difficult to filter effectively.

Pictures of one particular character are a lot easier to block.

Filtering systems can effectively block 100% of pictures of Luigi Mangione and of the character Luigi, but if people just posted picture after picture of groups of teenagers, that would be a lot harder to effectively filter.

"Multiband GNSS" is what this is called.
