Stop pummeling your brain with twitter neonazi bot algo. Take a step back, and see how the fascist culture of the billionaires rots your brain every single time you open twitter again. Don't see it as a way to communicate, it's a drug that damages you. Get off that damn site already.

no i do not think gay men are cringe no i don’t think voting is bad no i don’t think activism is bad i just am referencing this genre of post in reverse. it made me chuckle thinking of that caption for that video. sorry!

Seeing "View Full Thread" between this post of yours and the original joke you made is like a meta joke about Bluesky as a whole. [innocent joke/shitpost] View Full Thread. . . "No I don't think gay men are cringe" Social media can produce mind boggling effects.

I will buy the pancakes but I'd also like them to be good. You love waffles so much. It will be your fault when this diner sells nothing but waffles and you'll love it.

i think we should hear out both sides of this debate, and then all decide together. preferably in a way where we won’t have to worry about judging each other for our decisions, but i can’t think of a way to pull that part off

that's weird! these are gay men singing for the socialist Mamdani, he's clearly a leftist not a dem, why are they so mad? unless they know it's not about gay men or Mamdani supporters, it's about them and it always was well i have high hopes that they'll come around

I respect your shit post. "I am pretending to be one of those idiots" was my favourite humour for a long time. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long on the internet. The people who take you literally will be more motivated to post than the people who get it.

Big yikes. I thought the joke was ick, but I also totally buy your explanation of it, and it's not that big a deal. Even on the worst possible reading, this response is psychotic.

I always weigh both sides of the issue, joke v. kys, seriously and that's why Bluesky feels more like home to me than any political movement.

I working on a groundbreaking study about the under discussed fact that social media is rotting people’s brains. Insane concept I know, but I think I’m onto something.

The fact that the post was an obvious joke, yet it exploded into multiple takes™️ interacting with the post with bewildering sincerity shows that you, cut right down the bone, to an existential anxiety of these people.

For those who have failed to see the humor, can you explain what makes this joke so funny? If the humor comes at somebody else’s expense, can you name whose, and why?

Yeah but if you don’t like a post saying Kamala Harris would have solved all problems then Blue MAGA will lash out in so much anger. It’ll have you thinking what the hell do you need to do to direct that over at the all terrible shit happening now instead of the person pointing out the hypocrisy.

Other ppl have made this point already but can we not dog on the NYC Gay Men's Chorus for the sake of a joke everyone's heard already

Already on it, boss! I'm not personally offended, I just felt like it was a poor choice of video for the point she was trying to make

Why? Because gay? When she gay? It was funny and you're still wrong lol, she made her point so effectively it immediately caused every shitlib on the site to holler like the hit dogs you are Also, no matter how much you say otherwise, the papers will say that you were mad

I guess helping people make fun masks and get their face painted at my city's Pride is Doing It Wrong...? Especially if I also let them know how they can vote in the upcoming primary which, among other things, pits an old centrist Dem against a young progressive Dem for a Senate seat

crazy how this is still discourse. gay men can be cringe like anyone else, singing a song about voting didn't sway any voters to pick mamdani, and y'all have reduced socialism down to "does a good job as an elected official." the joke is spot on, and this liberal sensationalism rounds it out nicely.

Being that dense that you view any joke as a micro aggression towards a marginalized group is embarrassing. Being that woke u feel obliged to being a “savior” for these marginalized group is wild but on brand.

you might notice the tweet does not have anyting to do with mamdani and homophobia. on the internet we have this thing called memes where you change the meanings of clips and images to be funny. this is one of those. but you are doing absolutely everything you can to read bad faith for no reason

This isn't a meme. It's a clip of liberals celebrating their intent to go vote... for a socialist In a post that is denigrating liberals for their ::checks notes:: willingness to participate in elections. The concept of not voting as a form of protest is a self defeating leftist construction

junes post is not homophobic nor is it villainizing gay people or anyone. it's critiquing a tactic using a trope common on the internet. did you not read the part about the meteor ?

you're being a little unhinged bud, unless you actually think there is a meteor coming in which case I have good news for you

"Just vote harder" is fascist apologia no matter who it comes from, and people who think they're going to change a fascist system from within are foola at best. Hence, the mockery. These dickheads are going to get a lot of my siblings and loved ones killed while loudly insisting they're helping us.

Jesus fucking Christ the people losing their shit on Juni is illuminating. When they hit you with the below comment I just folded, fucking defeated. Well fought for staying and posting against this shit. "The trans woman posting homophobic engagement bait you mean?" I just can't, I have to t grass

So @junlper.beer is a queer foe? Got it babe. So glad she doesn't have a long history as a member of and standing with the queer community and all of their shades. I'll be sure to ask her for comment so her rampant homophobia can be properly cited on Wikipedia. Libs are fucking wild.

Actually I’d probably do whatever I could to bolster mutual aid in the time I had—like, I’d go door to door and give people my information and say that (assuming anyone survives) we ought to attempt to link up in the catastrophe afterwards and try and help each other. I don’t think I’d sing abt it

I think *solely singing or doing some group dance or whatever*, is not an *effective enough*, form of cross class solidarity, *in the case of an impending fucking catastrophe*. Bluesky dawg. You can say “I like pancakes” and somebody will say “so you hate waffles?”

You’re arguing for something different than my position. I’m not saying they can’t have music. I’m not saying successful movements don’t have music. I’m saying, music *alone* is not enough to make a successful movement. And many liberals labor under that assumption, like Mayor Pete for example

Well, for one thing I don’t think that would have the effect in an eminently pre-meteor world that it would in a non-meteor world. I don’t think I would tell someone fire bombing a Walmart in that situation that they should just sing about it, lol?

Liberals will put more effort into mischaracterizing this post than they ever will reckoning with the shortcomings and failures of the Democratic party. Voting isn't pointless, it's also just the bare minimum.

Ya know it seems like Dems fighting Dems is just helpful for demolishing democracy. Pretty sure there are about 10,000 things right now that are more important to fight. But maybe that is just me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This isn't even Dems fighting Dems. This leftist would sooner chop off their own hand than vote for a Dem, when a socialist one like Mamdani (who these gay men were singing about voting for)

Well, it's not Dems fighting Dems. It's Dems fighting the left with a thousand times more effort than they fight the republicans with, for decades, then getting absolutely furious when a leftist uses a clip out of context to take shots back at Dems.

You know what demolished democracy? Dems cheerleading George Bush, the Iraq War, and the post 9/11 security state because Dems didn't want to seem "unpatriotic" or whatever. Dems intentionally helped create and codify in law every single power structure the fascists use now.

no i mean, what democracy was there to begin with? there was a little in the country for maybe 30 years, but it died 13 years ago in 2013 but even then, state slaves can't vote, and a lot of former state slaves can't vote either, so again what democracy?

yeah i think he's one of the best politicians in the usa presently. he had the issue with the trans clinic being 19 and above but there are more trans clinics in new york that support minors, otherwise thats the main downer

to be fair the person who inspired this quote did say exactly what theory they wanted me to read & began to summarize it in a multi-post thread. at which point yeah sorry blocked, i don’t have a lot of patience for the bluesky wiki from somebody who wasn’t born when i initially read the theory lol

I'm saying this is very clearly not a bunch of socialists, but rather a bunch of liberals. They may have voted for Mamdani, they may have voted for Sliwa for all we know, I'm saying that if my claim is random, so's the claim they voted for Mamdani.

i find it interesting that you started out by saying generalizing demographics is bad & then argued with me about how liberals are bad & deserve no credit for another like couple hours. again, it’s okay to acknowledge your policies might be popular with a large chunk of people you think are cringe!

💯 agree June. This fucking sheep mentality is not pretty in the maggots so why is it ok for a bunch of deluded liberals? So embarrassing! And these are the fucks who will shut you down when proposing discussions around subjects they might deem uncomfy.

I got called homophobic like ten times for citing that as a comparison lol. mayo pete never even did the dance himself!!! it was mostly straight white women political theater kids!!

I thought it was AI because it’s not possible for a random group of men to be singing and dancing in sync. But a group of gay men? Absolutely! 🌈❤️

unironically this is how we will destroy the meteor. do you think elected republicans would spend money on the giant railgun to destroy the meteor? no, that would hurt their imagined government bottom line

Funny part is no matter who wins the state always wins in the end these days, like unless we champion a new leader from the people who leads for the people and not the rich, nothing's gonna change lmao

All the comments here are by people who vote in exactly the way and for exactly the reasons you are poking at. They all came to bsky when Rachel Maddow said it was kewl, now they wander the waste of their own making, looking for funny things to spoil with finger wagging or horribly unclever puns.

If the president went on TV and announced "my plan is to watch the meteor kill all life" I think you should in fact do a violent revolution instead of wait 2 years to vote.

point of information: actually you don't "vote with our voices," you do it with a piece of paper that you scan into a big machine. this is important to know so you don't get tricked.

A. You are obviously totally ignorant about this group, and it shows. B. I'd like to see what YOU would be doing if there were a meteor barreling toward Earth.

Twelve guys are going to form the Revolutionary Communist Party (Anti-Meteor), argue until six of those guys split off to form the Communist Party (Maoist Anti-Meteor) and then get crushed by a meteor.

Start a podcast about how liberals are to blame for the meteor; episode #3 will be devoted to how severe agoraphobia prevents the hosts taking action; episode #7 and on will be about how only fascists can save us from the meteor after a "P. Thiel" gives them a major donation.

I mean sure it takes time to find people and build a rocket when so few people even want to do it to begin with. But we'll do it, and when the meteor is gone all the people who spent their time voting will get to take credit for it.

Narrator voice: The liberal troglodytes simply didn't get it. Who the chorus was didn't matter, but what they were singing that was the joke. However, it didn't matter to these fascists. The liberals were looking for any reason to shit on a trans person. It was their secret obsession.

Are these people supposed to sing EVERY important thing you need to do as a citizen to prevent fascism in this one song? Is it wrong to pick a thing and encourage it? Wtf is the point of this shaming exercise?

Wiping your butt is actually useful. Voting would be like having a conversation with your doctor thinking your ass will get magically clean afterwards.

Are you stupid? The post is not about the individual men in the video. It's about the institutional liberal tendency to look at a real, active problem that they should do something about it and to respond by urging people to vote (which is important, but is clearly not an immediate solution)

I missed all the drama yesterday, which is good bc I would've gotten my account banned. These replies are like when I said I wouldn't vote for a genocide supporter in 2024 and liberals told me they hoped I bled out on an ER floor from a botched abortion & "Trump thanks me for my vote"

After voting no on meteor protection infrastructure for the last 25 years because it would raise property taxes and only 99% of scientists agreed that the meteor is going to hit earth

I need more people to truthfully post things like "I literally can't vote after the felony charge I picked up from sabotaging munitions factories that were arming Israel"

It sucks that people immediately go to fighting and chiding. Everyone is so similar in their defensive natures I suppose. Everyone is so similar. Also, same. Libs are very much missing the joke and the point because of the video choice. I guess this is just one for the fans, tho?

This. It's a video of a queer chorus, commented on here during Pride Month, and the context was about an upcoming election. Like I can't think of a context more directly germane for this video.

Every person in the replies or quoting this post that are absolutely butthurt could solve this by doing two things, don’t use the discovery feed and don’t hate follow someone who is going to post tongue and cheek posts that will make you mad. You have the power to not get mad at benign things.
