I posted the following on Facebook this morning, and Facebook immediately removed the posting:

@wdlindsy we are exceptional in our reactionism, imperialism, and racism that we export all around the globe.

We served as the global right-wing hegemon, and one of the foremost terrorizers of the developing world.

[brucetheknife@newsie.social]

@wdlindsy thanks for your message. I removed Facebook from my life two months ago after 10 years.

@wdlindsy It makes sense when you think that @zuck broke bread with Trump yesterday.

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@wdlindsy horrible, this is a society that's like a powder keg next to open fire

@wdlindsy The important thing is enjoying our turkey and being thankful for our family.

@wdlindsy
American exceptionalism was always bullshit. Transparent bullshit.

[lichtenbergian@mastodon.sdf.org]

@wdlindsy I posted it, and it was IMMEDIATE! You will note that none of their "reasons" apply to the post in the least.

"Many Americans are making it clear that they’re cutting ties with family and friends who voted for President-elect Donald Trump—and don’t count them in for this year’s holiday gatherings either. In the days following Nov. 5, videos on social media, especially TikTok, started flooding in, showing people either devastated, angry, or defiantly speaking out about feeling betrayed by family and friends."

No thanks: Many Americans bail on holidays with MAGA relatives

@wdlindsy

Loud echo's of the UK and the Brexit voters and Remain voters, still not talking and it is so sad.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Lichtenbergian Thank you for sharing. Same here: it was yanked immediately, and I got that same message, which is such lying and trolling on the part of FB. Their bottom line is clearly that we're all supposed to pretend and make nice because Trump voters get their feelings hurt. Which tells you who has the upper hand in their organization and thinking. I'd leave Facebook in a heartbeat if I didn't use it to keep up with a wide circle of family and friends, and to host a family history group.

@wdlindsy Medicare, social security, & the ACA are at risk. They voted for death for millions.
Also, love that Jesse Watters' mom disinvited him.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Nazani Yes — and love that Watters' mom disinvited him, too.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@marcas Thank you. I'll watch with interest.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@lyndamerry484 Yes, I think often of those parallels. I read something yesterday about the still unacknowledged damage the self-inflicted wound of Brexit is doing to the UK economy.

[humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world]

@wdlindsy @Nazani Having a surname that ends in s we us the s's ending

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@tofugolem Yes. Self-serving mythology divorced from historical fact.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@InvincibleSugar The problem, though, is that the choices many of us have made have now complexified the notion of family for a whole lot of us.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@energisch_ Yes, I agree.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@toxtethogrady @zuck Absolutely. I truly have nothing but contempt for Zuckerberg and the tech-bro aristocracy.
