@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@Owl@madonline When I was still on Gab, Dredd blocked me because I cursed the police class after the Ulvade massacre and warned people to stop automatically giving them more honor than basic bitch practical respect required by the Word of God.
The reason I learned is that he is an ex-law enforcement officer himself.
@SuperSnekFriend@Owl@madonline Like, there's exactly one person (Woggy) I routinely accuse of being a kike shill here, and that guy *literally vanished when Israel's internet went out.*
Did Dread say something about this media connection while he was on Gab or something?
@SuperSnekFriend@Owl@madonline Well, hold on. "Being friends with a journo" is a very strong accusation - it's about as bad as accusing someone of being a kike. I do trust Owl, but the right set of actions here are actually *very different* from "simply intensifying how much we mock his faggotry." I don't even know what we'd do in that case.
@Owl@madonline >Mother Jones If that is public knowledge, then he should be glad Graf hasn't removed his ass, let alone people here blocking him en masse.
Dread is a system pig. I'm making that exorbitantly clear.
There are several reasons as to why Dread gives lukewarm takes that accomplish nothing on top of only allowing for a specific series of conduct that doesn't veer too far off a beaten path. He has weird friends and weirder proclivities.
It's honestly shocking how many people haven't noticed this about him. Dredd is a Q/boomer and that makes no sense in this space. He had some 3k followers on FSE and he routinely had fewer than 5 likes on any of his monologue format posts.
@SuperSnekFriend@Owl@madonline There's ex-military and the like here as well...and most of those people deeply regret the things they did in the service of this country which hates them.
It's not an unwashable sin, but refusing to wash the sin is...bad.
@Xenophon@Owl@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@SuperSnekFriend@madonline I saw this as an opportunity for personal growth; challenging myself to adapt to something I wasn’t quite used to, at first - but valued enough to want to contribute meaningfully *and* constructively.
Others see it as an opportunity to dig their heels in and kick loudly against anything that didn’t immediately validate them.
The only reason why I think I'm wrong is because someone looking to hurt people wouldn't minimize their reach by blocking genuine dissidents. He completely filters us out.
You try to calmly talk down someone who is a threat to themselves. That's the domain of...ideally people better than me, but people who act like me. For someone who is a genuine threat to others, that's very different.
@pyrate@Owl@SuperSnekFriend@madonline If he evades a serious and calmly worded inquiry, then I think anyone reasonable would take that as evidence of wrongdoing. It's obviously not the final step, but we're still at the stage where we're asking what's going on.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@Owl@SuperSnekFriend@madonline a that's not good enough. Now we need a way to confront him in a manner that cannot be blocked; this is an escalation worthy event that should involve mods.
