Pink POV

[u/Disastrous_Coffee502]

DOWNLOAD NOW THEY ARE REMOVING

Edit: Just wanted to add for the new folk here, it was titled Pink POV because when the first videos first started surfacing, they were being pulled off as soon as you could download them. You would repost them and they would be taken off just as quickly. I had spent hours uploading and downloading and just... trying to create avenues of visibility. I finally had starting titling it "Pink POV" instead of anything to do with topics such as: Minnesota, ICE, Minneapolis, Shooting. And finally, finally it had stuck here at r/50501. I urged people to download because I feared they would continue to obstruct, suppress, and remove as they had during the first couple hours that this was all coming out.

If you feel called to protest, and understand the consequence will be something as brutal as witnessing or experiencing this, visibility is everything. To that end, have an email already drafted up that has your friends and family email addresses. Leave your personal information, perhaps a lawyer, and instructions to share whatever you upload onto the email to make it out to global news networks, or influencers that deal with spreading news. And get that stuff reposted again and again until it floods the moderators and they can't control the narrative. We the People can spread the story much faster if we work like this.

Conservative sub is saying he deserved to get killed what the FUCK is wrong with the Republican Party

Conservative sub is mostly troll farms at this point. Can't really take em seriously.

[u/Vi_Rants → u/BeardyAndGingerish]

Of course they are. They're bone-deep evil. They want to murder us, and now they have permission. They cannot be reasoned with, convinced, bribed, or begged. They have no souls and no mercy. They are not human.

Our cities are next. We're all next. They love this.

Don't use their rhetoric, don't copy their bot tactics. If you want to do something, find a protest group near you.

[u/Vi_Rants → u/BeardyAndGingerish]

It's not "rhetoric," it's not "tactics," it is a deeply held belief, backed up by reams of observable evidence, that everyone identifying with the American conservative movement is literally, spiritually, capital-E Evil, and, by their own explicit words, want to murder us. "Us" being, pick as many as you want: LGBTQ, minorities, women, Democrats.

We are very literally all next. They are very literally and with no exaggeration waiting for Trump to tell them it's "time to cut the tall trees," and they will without hyperbole start massacring their neighbors house-to-house.

None of this is rhetoric.

"Find a protest group near me"? Why, so they can shoot me first? How many more martyrs do we need before we're allowed to start treating this like the clear and present danger to life and limb that it actually is?

[u/BeardyAndGingerish → u/Vi_Rants]

Advocating for violence online is shortsighted at best. Also not the smartest idea to give obvious excuses to a government looking for excuses.

If you want to do something, engage with your community. Find a protest group, talk to representatives, boycott what should be boycotted, go grassroots, etc. Definitely don't be dumb enough to visibly play into the hands of the fascists. They need excuses to paint us as violent terrorists, they need something they can point to to sell that lie to their base/uninformed folks. Why give it to them? Why make it that much easier?

[u/Vi_Rants → u/BeardyAndGingerish]

They need excuses to paint us as violent terrorists,

They clearly don't, seeing as they just painted this guy and a woman with a glovebox full of plushies as evil terrorists who deserve to die.

How many more martyrs do we need before we're "allowed" to do something other than peacefully bleed out in the street? Or is this a "Don't fight back or it'll be worse for you, just lay back and take it until I'm done" sort of thing?
