Bluesky is a "Liberal Bubble" cos they suppress Pro-Palestinian Accounts while elevating Pro-Israel Accounts, suppressing Left-wing accounts that call out shit that upsets the Status-Quo and Capitalism. Hell people like @socialismforall.bsky.social & @breakify.bsky.social have evidence.

Ahem. Not exactly who needs to read this, but I think a lot do. Saying that something "is not an option" is not the same as saying something "is not optional."
In contrast to what Mr. Spicoli said nearly 45 years ago, I think automobile drivers need to be on 'ludes, or whatever similar sedative exists today. They all seem to be flaming buckets of rageahol. No chill.
