Posting picture of 70s men to deter the possible attack?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Or to encourage someone to liberate the country from the upcoming fascist regime? 🤷

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Upcoming...America been fucky for a long time.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Sure, but it's about to go from awful to historically atrocious.

Everything that's broken now is going to continue to be as broken or get worse, and a ton of other things are going to be broken beyond repair.

Don't be fooled by the business as usual behavior of the Dem leadership now that they're not trying to get elected; this is fucking catastrophic for the entirety of humanity.

I agree it's dangerous, but 85% of humanity live in countries that are already either on USA's shit list or don't-give-a-shit list, and have never benefited from a Democrat US government either.

Yes, I know. My point is that what's already bad is gonna get much worse.

As awful as the Neoliberal status quo that the Dem leadership lost all parts of the government insisting on, the first Trump administration was just a trial run where he was often hindered by people with a modicum of scruples or those without being unprepared to the point of incompetence.

Jan 6th was the Beer hall putsch. They're doing the night of the long knives and the Reichstag fire simultaneously while the Mango Mussolini takes the train to ~~Rome~~ Washington. Additional reference to 1920s and 30s fascism.

Im not fooled, I just think americans have been doing the whole emperors new clothes thing for a long time. It has always been built on nonsense and bravado and now it will be crippled by it. It is so very obvious that this is a mission of america's enemies but it is deserved at this stage.

As someone who has spent their whole life fighting against their hair wanting to look feathered I just want to say that I’d be killing it in the 70s

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

I just need a few pairs of those pants, like right now

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 9 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

What kind of pants is that and where can I bought the same?

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

Try searching high waisted bell bottoms

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Thrift store

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Legit those pockets look like they could hold a small tablet, or at least a kindle.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago

They look like they are checking out those Syrian girls.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago

Those are some sweet fuckin pants, I want some

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

I've always suspected that many of these kinds of images were staged or propaganda.

Every so often you'll see a meme on Reddit with a bunch of American teenagers being athletic in the 60s. The meme suggests that people were healthy and fit back then, but I happen to know that the footage was for a physical fitness push at the time (gotta do more pushups than the commies) and the athletes were far from typical students.

I'm just listening to the Citations Needed podcast, and they talked about how even since the Spanish War Americans have been using women rights to justify their aggression.

Disagree, it’s if we find out about oil we need to liberate it

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 34 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Oil is only one factor, what matters is the country's stance towards US Imperialist interests and how they work for or against those interests.

[–] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yeah I forgot, also selling oil in any currency besides USD. That will get you some freedom! 🦅🦅🦅

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Well oil was discovered in Crimea and northeast Ukraine in like 2012, so we really dropped the ball there.
