It's based on a John Lewis quote: "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

Thanks! Though from from what I understand degenerate has also been picked up by neo-nazi's due to its origins being from eugenics.

But at this point I feel like that scene in Letter Kenny. I get your intent ๐Ÿ˜…

Hi, mod here. Could edit your insult to something else so that it complies with Rule 1?

The West Virginia community on our instance acts like a subreddit on Reddit (Lemmy itself functions like a federated Reddit clone, while Mastodon is like a federated Twitter).

I'm not the creator/admin of the this instance (that would be @admin@50501.chat), but I am a moderator for all of its communities.

Hi. Could you remove the insult from your comment (even if I think it's justified) to align with Rule #1?

[โ€“] Tangerine 1 points 4 months ago

I like it! A good idea to put on some signs or pamphlets for next protest.

This was posted a couple days ago, I think it's the right way forward to keep the public on our side. https://50501.chat/post/322808

In every century in American history, the patriots of our armed services have risen to defend democracy and freedom during extraordinary crises.

In the 18th century, Americans fought for independence from a tyrant king.

In the 19th century, Americans fought a civil war to uphold the proposition that all people are created equal, regardless of race.

In the 20th century, Americans fought on the shores of Europe to defend democracy and freedom from the forces of fascism.

American patriots now face the crisis of our time: a traitor in the White House.

The current President of the United States has brought dishonor to America, has disrespected and abused the veterans who swore an oath to defend the Constitution, has violated his own oath of office, has allied himself with cruel dictators, has acted at every opportunity as an undemocratic tyrant, and is therefore unfit to be the president of a free people.

On June 6th, the Anniversary of D-Day, we call on all patriotic people of Massachusetts to assemble on Boston Common with veterans to protest the tyranny of a would-be king and to honor the sacrifice of the brave soldiers who fought and died for the democracy we must continue to protect.
