Western #imperialism comes in two flavours—#liberal and #conservative.
#Mastodon, and the rest of the #Fediverse, love imperialism in "liberal" flavour.
Donald Trump supplies only the "conservative" flavour of imperialism. He is also trying to shut down production of the "liberal" flavour.
Now you know why the Fedi hates Trump.
What do you associate with most strongly when you hear the term "traditional"
please boost - im really curious what the vibe is in my pocket of the #fediverse

#Introduction, Hello Mastodon, I’m a newly minted 65 yr old. Didn’t go to college, went to work. Thirty years in the credit and collections industry, fifteen for law firms. I’m a husband, step-dad & the grandpa of 2 and an uncle of 8. I enjoy good beer, music & love to grill out. #Democrat #Liberal Believer in #liberty & #justice for ALL. #DefendDemocracy
#Introduction: I started building #worlds on the #internet nearly 30 years ago. I’m an expert in #AR, #VR, #AI, and #ARGs.
Over 2 years ago, I started exposing the people abusing the digital world to #radicalize people and destabilize global #liberal #democracy.
I was banned from the #birdsite w/60k followers and smeared by hundreds of sadistic trolls because I exposed #MikeFlynn, #QAnon and the #insurrection
Grateful for #mastodon and my new home toad.social. 💙🙏🇺🇸🏴☠️

🧵Persuading others who support the right wing extremist views can be challenging, but it's possible through thoughtful, empathetic communication and evidence-based arguments.
Here are some approaches to help foster understanding and shift perspectives: 1)

The Liberal Club, as was, on St Swithins Square, Lincoln, England.
So what do we think this fine building will become? Student accommodation, luxury apartments, retail and office space, or another identikit sticky carpet pub?

Reintroducing myself to Mastodon at my new home, c.im!
BobApril 101 - Intro to Mark Hall:
Husband, father to adult sons, retired U.S. Soldier (25B - computer tech), former mail carrier.
Personal philosophy is based in #StarTrek - #humanism, #atheism, and diversity #IDIC. #Liberal #progressive involved in local #DemocraticParty in #TiftCounty #Georgia (#GAPol). Fan of other #ScienceFiction. Casual hobbyist in #3DPrinting, haven't bought a printer yet.
I enjoy #Rennfaire and #DragonCon, but mostly can't afford to go.
Sure, for your pleasure, I am a #Liberal. A Radical Leftist Liberal (if you must) and militant if required for the sake of empowering people against the dual oppressive forces of the state and capitalism.
I consider most political and economic philosophies, including most you'd bucket into Liberalism, as grotesque and varying forms of indentured servitude. That probably includes whatever shit you believe in.
I will consistently fight whomever and whatever is the biggest current threat. Right now that is Fascism and Megacorporations.
I therefor ally myself with, or at least am cobelligerent with anyone else fighting either of those.
Hi, I’m James and this is my #introduction.
I'm originally from a rural town in middle Missouri but now call #SaintLouis my home. I have a love for the American southwest (my Mom is from New Mexico) and for the coastal city of #Savannah #Georgia.
I'm single, live alone with two #dachshunds (#dogs) named Amelia and Penelope. I'm a #progressive #liberal, can't stand money in #politics, and yearn for a day when the #Democrats improve their messaging and start fighting back.
What I'm into: #Photography, #Cooking, #Grilling, #StarWars, #StarTrek, #80sMovies, #JurassicPark, #Marvel, #dinosaurs, #computers, #gadgets, #VBA, #Python, #MSExcel, #art, #archaeology, #history, #3DPrinting, #philosophy, #news, and you'll find I'm a bit of an all-around nerd.
I’m also #diabetic, suffer from #anxiety, #depression, and #panicattacks. Forgive me in advance if I reach out.
I'm sarcastic as all get out but I have a big heart, that's easily broken when I see people (or animals) hurting.
New instance new intro…
Hey there. Just your typical #Liberal #Atheist outdoorsy single dad living in deep red rural Georgia. Love #RetroTech, especially classic #Macintosh. I am owned by a rescue #Cat and do a lot of hiking so expect a lot of cat and nature pics. I am an #LGBTQ and #BLM ally and vehemently anti-fascist. Figured I’d move to beige.party since that’s where all the cool folks seem to hang out. 😂
Just realized I never did an introduction post when I changed servers.

Dear #Progressive / #Liberal US voter eager to dis the #BidenHarris2024 ticket and #Biden administration as a whole because (#Gaza #Israel #age #capitalism #whatever triggers your rage)
Check the @!#$%^& clock on the wall.
It's 1933.
This is what #Trump is selling. #Republican voters (not just #MAGA) are buying. He is *promising them authoritarian rule.*
Rank&file #GOP is eating it up.
If you think we're immune to #fascism, you're wrong.
