PeriodicallyPedantic, in All lives rule

sort of

But I do think there is a legitimate ACAB angle here, to slice it by power dynamics instead: All political leaders are bastards.

It’s not just one nation vs another, it’s also civilians vs the political elite. So while I agree it’s wrong to say “both sides are equally to blame”, there are other useful perspectives. I think.

Both are bad though one is worse but both are shit

ergifruit, (edited ) in Better believe you're getting a text from the openers in the morning about how you missed one dish on the rack.

“Something wrong? Must’ve been night shift!” i had to quit working for medical reasons, but i was so thrilled that my leaving fucked them in every sense of the word, because i picked up all the jobs and extra shifts no one else wanted. true satisfaction.

ergifruit, in I'm Sadman

still not as bad as any Frank Miller run

ergifruit, in Aku Aku at the beach

thank u based Aku Aku

ergifruit, in it takes the edge off

unironically thought about getting a SpongeBob TV like this to replace my busted one. it was $20 new, but i didn’t have enough room to set it up. those things have a really thick back.

ergifruit, in Wok 22

you just know their food slaps

ergifruit, in Hey now you're a rock star

If you don’t love God unconditionally.

That would be about 3 ml per wiener and seemson the upper end.

Assuming your mom to start fucking at 15 and slowing down at 50, that would be 43 wieners per day though. Assuming she goes till 80 that would still mean 27 wieners per day.

So your mum must be quite desired for this to work out.

I can confirm that your mum is very ambitious

db2, in Remember, if Fascism wins it is YOUR FAULT.

That image is more telling than you intended it to be.

TrismegistusMx,

Maybe you’re misreading my intention. The image is supposed to convey that the Democrats use Republicans as a threat so they can stay in power, and the frayed rope represents them losing control. What did you think I was trying to say?

db2,

That’s what I thought you meant, the image implies they’re the same thing wearing different masks. The elephant is the weapon, the donkey is the one using it. In other words, a one party system pretending to be two.

kpw,

Yes, the Republican party is controlled by the Democrats so they can use them as a threat. Makes perfect sense now, there's no other explanation.

cecinestpasunbot,

Saying the Democrats control the republicans is silly but saying that they use the republicans as a threat to stay in power is indisputable. They literally funded pro trump candidates in republican primaries under the assumption they would be easier to beat in the general election.

TrismegistusMx,

The Democrats and Republicans work together to make sure you don’t have any meaningful choice. The Republicans don’t know that they’re being controlled because they have only the politics of hatred and destruction. Democrats keep them around for the appearance of civility.

CylustheVirus,

Oh we understand. It just means you’re not worth talking to.

TrismegistusMx,

You don’t determine my worth, fascist.

explodicle,

That’s an actual liberal stance I see thrown around way too often so without a /s or some other explicit commentary I can understand why the post would be taken at face value or without assuming there’s an implied sentiment.

TrismegistusMx,

Maybe I put too much trust in the audience, but I wanted it to accurately depict liberal ideology while subtly undermining its hypocrisy.

@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

The fact that you think that image accurately depicts liberal ideology is enough to dismiss this out of hand. A moment-in-time choice of vote is as indicative of an ideology as comparing weather to climate. And equating the vote against literal fascists, openly and with pride working to dismantle the republic and install an autocracy, as being a scare tactic just to stay in power is as small-minded as I seem to, disappointingly, expect from the internet.

But I understand all that if you’re spoon-fed that from your choice of news outlets, it gives you less to think about and more to “meme” about.

TrismegistusMx,

Where do you see any news outlets expressing that the Republicans are the threat used by Democrats to control the population? Even your attacks are disingenuous.

ulkesh,
@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

I never once said anything about “control the population.” Clearly you are doing exactly what idiot conservatives do — make shit up. Have fun living in the bubble of nonsense and intellectual mediocrity.

TrismegistusMx, (edited )

I didn’t say you said that. Work on your reading comprehension. The idea that the Republicans are the threat used by the Democrats to control the population is the basis of MY meme.

I feel that, like if a lib had posted this then they’d have been sincere about it but it was you posting it so we all know what’s up

TrismegistusMx,

I think the frayed rope is the difference. A lib would put an unbreakable chain on the elephant.

TrismegistusMx,

Propaganda is a form of meme.

Just like tap water you have to ensure a constant flow so bacteria cannot develop. You cannot half-ass the sgetti tap!
