I am guilty of using the vice president's chosen name against him, only because he's so adamant about others using their given names.

@skinnylatte I block so many people for this. It is too exhausting to wade through. I don't feel like I'm losing out on any community or information by doing so, either.

@skinnylatte I saw this with Bovino, like yes, he's a genuinely terrible person who has said and done terrible things, and should be criticized for them, but what does making fun of his height even achieve other than alienating other *GOOD* people.

@skinnylatte i was just griping about this— it makes me so frustrated to see some of my closest pals jump on this rhetoric, like they’re so clever and witty and isn’t it fun to bully people who deserve it??? and i have no idea how to start the conversation on why this isn’t ok?
it’s all just a distraction and keeps the working class divisive. where will defectors turn to when they’re ready to change their mind? shame thrives in the darkness.
i’m glad Singing Resistance is doing it better

Also makes me so annoyed that people like to suggest punitive immigration measures against immigrants they don’t like. Yeah, denaturalize Elon, surely he lied.
I hate that guy. But I know who won’t lose in that type of immigration enforcement: those guys.
Who will lose: immigrants with less power.
Many of the escalations that we are seeing now come from ‘softer’ immigration measures. The whole social media vetting thing came from Dems previously giving in to demands to immigration enforcement. Guess what the other team just did to vastly expand that
@skinnylatte the most sure-fire way for fascists to win is for anybody to fight them on their terms

@skinnylatte I just want him arrested, not denaturalized. Fucker has committed a ton of crimes, we don’t need to use immigration against him

@skinnylatte I never trust people who do this. Pretty soon they’re listening to right wing pod cast bros and spewing all kinds of trash.

I wish that fewer people exercised their free speech rights just by being rude.
Words have power and should be handled more carefully.

Also ableism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism etc are suddenly supposed to be okay when used to make fun of horrible people?
No! Never! That's how you normalize that shit. -

I think this is right. We should embody the values we espouse.
The harder times to do that are when a derogatory opponent seems to be throwing stones in their own glass house. The temptation can be to 'demonstrate' the inconsistency rather than simply point it out.
Though even that is probably not an effective tactic, since they often don't care. -

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I'll say I get that people fuck up. Or don't know. But when called out, and said, "hey this isn't cool..." and they double down, it's hard to see them on the "good side."
Hope you are well. -
Are you trying to draw a ven diagram of 'how to describe Trump'? /jk
But seriously, amongst all those not-great ways to shame someone, a lot of us use these metrics because we find it funny how much they want to come off as 'beautiful, smart, fit, capable' but are so diametrically not-that. It's just funny, they call others paedophiles, turns out they don't mind burying a few kids out back in the field.
It's just so hilarious. Murder rape clowns are real, in the stupidest way.

@darkuncle @skinnylatte That's why you must involve humour. They are physically incapable of it, so that's how we win.

@lizzard @skinnylatte Yes, you can, because he chose to make it so.
