By 'mastodon' I mean the federated network, not 'mastodon.social' .

Mastodon itself supposedly has a large presence of lolicon enthusiasts who went there after getting purged from twitter during a rules change.

It pretty much seemed like a done deal except recon somehow missed the 200k Chinese who were doing a creditable effort at not being seen and mostly marched at night iirc.

porn is mostly banned except for the softcore "sub to my OF" type stuff)
Porn isn't banned. It's just hidden behind 'sensitive content' which, with the wrong setting, can be displayed automatically.

Safety razors. The original ones.
use to cut yourself the least?
Just don't make a cutting motion. Superficial cuts that close in 5mins are unavoidable.

a) US isn't and hasn't been in position to do anything about China and no amount of cabinet level politicking could change this. It'd required either a time machine or a 20 years preceded by a military coup and a deep program of national reform.
b) they actually need to take power inside the US because democrats have made it very clear what they intend to do.
Did it feature the people doing the uploading being secretive about it bc they lived in some paranoid future USA ?
I read such a novel once, written by some non-writer. It wasn't entirely bad. Basically bunch of researchers clandestinely mind upload, then optimize the copies to run fast, develop some nifty tech and then all die when gov't figures out what has happened, logically sees them as a threat and blows them out of the sky as they were trying to run away to the moon using some novel-physics abusing engine creating antimatter for itself.
No, I am not familiar with these things. No aliens in the story either. I remember the cabal of the protagonist's digital instances selling combat androids and AI to every government through shell companies, obsoleting human soldiers. And then refusing to wage war.
Ok, that rules it out.

this guy? https://youtube.com/@Kraut_the_Parrot/videos
I ran across him some time ago, he seemed like a smug liberal idiot making slickly wrong videos. Seeing as he's left twitter and moved to bsky? He was ever.. friends with e.g. Sargon?
Bizarre.
who was in turn a step down from Chapo Trap House
Can you point to something showing how these people were ever quality?

So I'm pretty sure this guy is coming from a Utah Mormon family.
He was adopted at an age of 19 months from a Greek orphanage into a Utah Mormon family.

Nietzsche was a highly accomplished philologist, who, despite not being as popular alive initially as he became later had a fair amount of admirers and friends.
Calling him a loser is ..pretty weird.
God Is Dead and that Game Theory Is The Way
He said the former but was almost certainly not a fan of the latter.

Let's not forget Ryan Routh who camped out for 9+ hours in bushes next to Trump's favorite golf course with a rifle, waiting. He is 59.

Yeah, and we're also witnessing a spectacle of US president trying to get Europeans to put suicidal tariffs on China over Chinese trade with Russia.
Curious, very curious.

.. seems doubtful as we're witnessing the US being unable to intimidate Chinese, hell, even intimidate Indians into sanctioning Russia.

And that's just the ones in the actual USA; the USA is load-bearing in the world order, so there'd be plenty of blood spilled elsewhere as the rest of us try to figure out what the fuck to do about the PRC. Nuclear war's a serious possibility in that chaos.
I was reacting to the questionable assertion that US is 'load bearing' part of the international order.
Weren't they all smokers? A ruined, disused factory is unlikely to have much in the way of volatile fumes.
