So...they invented an imaginary twin sister to the kid who survived a school shooting and advocates for gun control.
Except the pretend sister is pro Guns for Everbody.

Jesus, they've gone from strawman arguments to literal fan fiction.

Why is David Hogg's twin sister (pictured here in her MAGA hat) not listed among the dead OR survivors of the "shooting" at St"ONEMAN" Douglas High?

Easy. There's a conspiracy theory that Hogg wasn't even a student, because there was a report that he rode his bike to the school after the shooting making people think he was chasing the media frenzy, and not because he was a survivor. It's true he rode there on his bike, but it's after he went home that day he returned because he wanted to talk to reporters.

If he has a fake MAGA sister, I would bet she wouldn't be enrolled in that school either.

It means they're assholes, so if you think an account with those red X's isn't an rear end in a top hat then uhhh, okay.

But seriously, the right decided Twitter was shadowbanning all the conservatives, so they put those red X's to show they've been... shadowbanned, or something? They're just idiots.

90% of them are, but then I've seen them on accounts that aren't political in the slightest, so I'm guessing multiple meanings?

Signposting that you ought to be shadowbanned sounds dumb as hell and par for the course though.

Nazis thought they were being clever by putting ((( ))) around the names of Jewish people instead of calling them JEWS whenever criticizing them. So when Jewish users caught wind of this they put ((( ))) around their names to own it, and other non-Jewish people did it too in solidarity/to mock the nazis.

A more appropriate picture for Capitalism would be the dog scarfing down cat food while the kitten lies in a lifeless heap in the corner since the dog was stronger and larger and was able to claim the cat's food for itself, only everyone would realize the dog is just smarter and much more hard working so it obviously deserves the extra food that the lazy, entitled kitten doesn't want to work for.
