    Most likely, you’re on the track.

        They hate their own followers just as much as anybody else. Anybody who thinks the leopards won’t eat their faces is delusional.

            The issue is that there will always be more to gas. Ask not for whom the bell tolls

            eventually its just the same group, plus when your standards of evidence include demon stories etc even the nazis were prone to a substiantial amount of friendly fire.

            Just think of the Stalinist purges. Nobody is safe.

          A rich conservative Christian straight white man. But rich enough that if you have any health issues, you can afford them.

          Only if you’re exactly the right denomination too.

            That one’s weird though, because they cherry pick the parts they like. So it’s a weird Baptist/catholic/born again bullshit.

              the supreme court is basically all catholic. Something tells me the evangelicals will get thrown under the bus at some point

                One could hope, but the evangelicals got many of those Catholic judges installed. So they won’t get to that point anytime soon. There’s too many progressives, LGBTQ+, POCs, and atheists left in the US for them to target, still, and it will be that way for a long time.

        Who’s not openly atheist…

        Lucky I’m not and would be willing to hide people if necessary.

          My daughter is queer and has never been in the closet. My mother thinks she’ll be just fine if she just goes into the closet. Not only is that unreasonable and unfair to expect of her, the internet is forever. Since she’s never been in the closet, she doesn’t make a secret of things like her first girlfriend. If they want to hunt queer people like her down, and I think they want to, they will.

          I’m just glad we have a way out. I wish I could take all the other queer people with us. Especially her girlfriend and her close trans friend.

          You’re posting on here and probably other channels. The NSA, FBI, and anyone else caught up in the wholesale data collection on US citizens has a full profile on you.

          Guess who now has that data?

          Get out if you can.

          If you can’t, go to a blue state and buy guns and ammo. Self-sort. Learn to shoot. Learn bush craft. Quit your vices. Get into shape.

          If you can’t do that, I’m very sorry for your plight. Form communities where you can and try to make some sort of SHTF plan.

            They’ve collected too much data and trust their algos too much. The data from lemmy isn’t nearly as easy to parse or plentiful as the data from twitter or facebook. Bitching and moaning here isn’t nearly as compromising or attention grabbing as the shit that goes on on the sites run by open fascists.

            Seriously, the next time I meet some of the friends irl, I’m explaining that I wont be talking to them online without encryption involved. I ended up quitting a discord I made because they were copy/pasting their posts that was getting them banned on facebook there. Absolutely no sense of infosec. Those posts had the real names attached and now that’s associated with a discord I set up. Luckily, I was using a foreign email to register it.

              Yeah encryption is a must in general but also especially going forward. I moved my group to Signal. I don’t like that it’s USA owned and run, so I’m hoping the other projects globally will start to improve interface and functionality wise. Also open to suggestions.

      I’m Canadian, but I think after next year I’ll be on our own track, only with a slightly smaller and less effective train

        But there’ll be a friendly announcement apologizing to the people about to be run over, right?
