A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

American version:

Protesting is a right, taught in school.

Grab family, go to protest.

Protest turns violent because of hidden cops. Mom gets shot. Dad loses job. Family loses house.

Die.

My US experience:

Protesting it taught in school.

Peaceful protesting at school results in being expelled.

"Protesting is a right and everything great we have comes from it, but you will be tear gassed and condemned if you try"

2028 you get black bagged by ICE for the crime of thinking about planning a protest

As opposed to the good old days when the CIA and FBI would do the black-bagging.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

no, the CIA would hype you up to do a terrorism and then turn you into the FBI so they can get the news story

Which is so odd. America got started because of a protest.

I wasn't aware that anything was taught in US schools.
