We need to get back to the moral foundation preached by Martin Luther King Jr. It's the easiest thing, but also the hardest thing for us to do because we have to swallow our pride and see the reality of our interdependence. In our communities, left & right work side by side for the benefit of ALL.

This person blocked me. Same pattern, degrade,divide attack, block. This fits the pattern of a post from a Russian Troll farm, hence my reply in Russian.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

We've also lost the ability to connect with people we disagree with. So how to do that? Many on the left need to use science & learn that using Trump tactics of dehumanization causes people dig in on their POV. But many on the left use that degradation tactic while claiming to be the smart ones.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

Calling others fools while invoking fascism risks using the same those same tactics. It feeds into the “elitist” label Trump used effectively. Fighting fascism with its own playbook through degradation undermines us.Offering empathy to victims of fascist propaganda doesn't mimic what we oppose.

Good question. I was blocked by this lady for asking if she condoned what amounts to domestic terrorism.

Here is a screen shot of how this conversation devolved. I’ve seen this pattern many times. He's using performative antagonism dressed up as moral outrage. These people don’t want conversation or seek understanding,they want to tear people down and feel justified doing it.

Time to stop supporting rage bait media.

My last comment was directed at you. Person you are talking with had just recently blocked me & I see that pattern from others who insult then block.I realize the concepts I'm introducing here may be new to some, but are supported by research in my field of study, Social psychology.

Since that guy decided to block me rather then engage in civil discourse (hey I tried;), here are his posts that I can't see now.

Yesterday's top view and a look up last part of the climb. Spring means corn snow in the mountains & flowers in the Valley. Yesterday I did a 'double dip' workout with a 1600' vertical foot ski climb and after, a Mountain bicycle ride through a super bloom. Yellow flowers as far as the eye can see

No point in commenting on this person's thread as she keeps deleting my reply comments. I deal in good faith and fact, not speculation and censorship that controls the narrative. Below another one of my deleted comments by the author. And her reply to my no no longer visible comment reply.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

I recently commented on a substack article. Two of my comments were deleted and the author chose instead to post an insult post. Substack is a place were the narratives are controlled by the page writer. Below, my reply, her two replies, my deleted post reposted and reply to her insult

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

I posted three comments on that authors substack page.In stead of addressing my points two of those comments were deleted and she add her own insults directed at me. Talk about controlling the narrative.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Blocked by this lady here & on X after asking her if she condones Tesla violence. Is the goal of these type of posts to inspire Tesla rage &harass their owners? We are supposed to support American workers not harass a company addressing carbon emissions and perhaps cause those workers to lose a job.

It's time for rage media to stop fear mongering seniors over SS and Medicare benefit cuts. Musk says that won't happen.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Interesting I can't reply to this persons post below. If he blocked me from replying it seems he doesn't value human connection and choose shutting down human dialogue. The cartoons were my ideas, AI just did the drawing for me and is not a direct copy of any artists work.

Ski partner & I set off for a 5,600 vertical foot ski tour last Sat. but had to turn back 1500 vertical feet below the high Col. The snow turned to variable wind effect crust which makes for hard trail breaking and a dangerous ski descent. Pics show View from our high point & destination col

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of yelling hate at MAGA farmers and then eating the food they produce.

000

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Hey you replied to my cartoon and you don't like the reply back to you? The cartoon is about hypocrisy. You eat your Central Valley Farmers food and call them stupid.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

I'm not defending Trump. Here is my reply to your previous post which applies to this one as well.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Yesterday's ski tour destination in the distance (two miles away with ski skin track in foreground) 9.5 miles of skiing round trip, with 4,300 vertical feet of climbing for 3 ski line descents.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

I'm guessing that doesn't stop you from eating the food or using the energy they produce.Trump and Musk seem to enjoy dehumanizing others and I think we can agree that dehumanizing others and creating division is facist behavior. So why act like Trump? You feel justified doing that?

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

I couldnt reply to slip-sliding's last post because he blocked me. But here is my reply I am fighting fascist behavior, including people on the left who use that type of dehumanizing and divisive language and act exactly like Trump wants us to act.

000

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Maybe don't eat the food they produce then and be sure to ask any first responder that comes to your aid, or that of a loved one, if they voted for Trump BEFORE you except their help.

Blocked by "Mueller She Wrote". She was supposedly supporting the one day product blackout & then directing people to watch her podcast, which supports big tech by using their platform infrastructure. I pointed that out to her. Apparently some media can't handle criticism. Offending post below

Not lovingly, just not hypocritically. In real, non-virtual communities, we understand that people with opposing views have the right to free speech. They deserve a reasoned argument or none at all, not dismissal through hate. We share a societal interdependence with these folks.

Calling Musk or the GOP Nazis gives the small number of real Nazis in this country oxygen. It dilutes the historical reality of Nazism. Some of that reality below. My Dad, a combat veteran of WW2 sent this picture home and wrote the inscription on the back. He received two purple hearts.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

According to this radical conspiracy theory lefty, I'm a Nazi apologist, because I disagreed with him about Musk's gesture that many on the left interpreted as a Nazi salute. I made a couple of lefty block lists because I speak out against my tribes misinformation and internet rage culture. 🤣

Some of the lines we climb and ski. Some of those lines I've skied many times, some just once. This is my spiritual place and when going solo I often experience states of bliss. Looking back, I've been climbing & skiing these mountains since 1981 & recall many good times with friends.

Yesterday's lunch counter. PBJ, cheese, apple slices, hot tea.Around 3400 vertical feet of climbing but the trail (skin track) was already in, so relatively easy day.

Today's lunch counter. 3,200 vertical foot climb. PBJ, cheese, apple slices and hot tea.

quote "Latinos who voted for him will face mass deportation." Only US citizens can vote for POTUS so it appears you’re claiming U.S. citizens will be mass deported? That’s legally impossible. Are you just making things up for clicks or do you actually believe this nonsense? #fear-mongering

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

Today's lunch counter. Total climb today, 3,200 vertical feet.

Neurodivergent people have a right to self identify just as transgender folks have a right to self identify without providing anyone with their medical records. Here is what I said as well as the other things I said send off this guy's personal attacks.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

@skaldpdx.bsky.social I did not call "being trans neurodivergent" That is a blatant misrepresentation. You were talking about musk self-identifying as autistic as not being valid. I was saying you are using the same tactics as the right wing when they dismiss transgender when they self identify.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

...media influencers help Trump, IMO, by using those zone flooding triggers in their stories. We have to be careful not to amplify them and create mind numbing emotional outrage. That overreaction clouds our judgement and reasoning and can lead to people dropping out and not voting.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

The guy blocked me also, but first he misrepresented my words and insulted me. Unfortunately he just reinforces and normalizes Trump's behavior. Here's a screenshot of what you quoted by him. Interesting that he thinks Nazis were regular people. They were not.

Chris Funch @chrisfunch.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Blocked by user 'Jane' after I asked the question "How do you recommend resisting Trump in support of the American people?" And discussed internet memes of Hitler/Trump comparison which lead to her accusing me of supporting Trump, the ultimate insult.
