That's Thomas Matthew Crooks on the right. It's wild how easily I forgot that at least 2 people have tried to assassinate him.
Why would you remember him?
None of the spaces on the left are set up to keep anything like this topical. Even this post is only because of Rosie which is from this week. Next week you'll forget about both.
Have you seen the latest moth Sheeran post though 🔥🔥🔥
What “spaces on the left”? Where? Every social media site is either run by the far right for the far right or is like lemmy and is at best fairly moderate.
Bluesky? I run in some circles over there but it stays pretty sanitized. I would dare call it insufferably sane-posting
How'd that happen? The Internet was fairly left up until recently.
Organization and exploitation of the tolerant.
The right wants to meddle and they wanna fight you so they can meddle more. The left don't want to bother, they want everyone to mind their own.
Letting meddlers mind their own means they come to you to meddle and you leave to avoid it and suddenly there's Lemmy in an internet full of people that want to kill you for not being them. The left doesn't fight, it allows.
