People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

You dont need to be taught shit to figure out who would pay for it. You must be absolutely brain dead to not figure this out on your own. But yet here we are

the black Panthers didn't make fun of people who couldn't read, they taught them how to read. You should have a bit more of that mentality, most people don't understand how tariffs work because they've never needed to.

Those people probably bever gotten to opportunity to lwarn to read. These people clearly can read and could have looked it up for themselves. Besides you don't need to know what tariffs are, from the context there js only a single deduction you can make. The US population would pay for it.

All fine and dandy with me. But I'll never allow willful ignorance to be a credible defense. If they can post on twitter, they can open wikipedia. But alas, apparently people think it is.
