A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Oil. I wonder if this guy really believes his own bs.

At its core he's likely a religious fundamentalist, so yeah he does believe his own bs.

You don’t know Dubai if you think he’s a religious fundamentalist

For those who are unaware, the UAE among many things, does the following:

  1. Spreads and promotes Islamophobia
  2. Justifies Zionism and the genocide in Gaza
  3. Fights leftist and Islamist resistance groups

That should make it clear they aren't Islamists or Islamic fundamentalists or whatever you think they may be. They are classist and socially conservative, but you don't need religion for that. You can get that even from atheists.

Impressive diversification, funded by oil.

Different countries do different things with their oil revenue. It could have been worse.
