I feel like I have to remind people because the trolls are out in full force encouraging other people to bring guns and start fighting back in any cities Trump terrorizes in the US. It’s been happening for a long time.

    You see this all over the political communities.

    Random “American” commentors calling for violence and getting their comments boosted to the top of the conversation by accounts with no history other than voting.

      Yep, and if you ask them where they’re from, they’ll either not answer or answer what is obviously from a blog from somewhere. I really wish lemmy had a decent tagging system.

        This one from a day or two ago was really blatant. The account used by the OP magically had 4 posts in a few hour window, across multiple communitues which had 500+ upvotes. Here

            I’m pretty sure most of them have tagging. I know connect does which is what I usually use, boost does as well which is the other one I use sometimes. I’m pretty sure Voyager did although I only use it briefly.

              Hey, you’re right. I guess it’s just not native to Lemmy and a browser experience. Interesting and thanks.

      I agree.

      Edit: I didn’t catch that last part, lol. No, militant resistance is bad. We don’t want the Troubles here in the states. k?

          I really think you should show us how you do your militant style and then we’ll decide. Give us video of you being the strong guy. I’ll cheer for you.

    Im sure that is happening, the destabilization of the US is in a way good for most of the world. That being said, there seems to be an implication that violent resistance to the goverment executing its own citizens is bad? Wild take, and if so then i wish you luck with your bootlicking.
