To see who they value, pay attention to their words. School massacres are labeled "mass shootings. Street executions are described as "officer-involved shootings." But the killing of a CEO is immediately called "terrorism."

Some random Nazi made dozens of accounts to try to harass me today when blocking malfunctioned, & *still* failed because not one single person engaged.

It seems everyone on Bluesky got the memo. React to nothing. Starve them out.

They're so desperate for a crumb of attention. Deny them.
