It never was a free nation. That was always propaganda to keep the working class pacified.

His mind was not changed.

I want to say to all the "this could never happen to my country, we remember history"-people:

Yes it could. One economic crisis too many; a few gifted power hungry ghouls in the wrong place; hundreds little comprimises taken by establishment to preserve the status quo -- and you will find your neighbours tolerating (and even welcoming) oppression of the less fortunate.

No society is immune.

In nazi Germany, once they had successfully dehumanized the Jewish population and normalized abuse, people were literally narcing on their Jewish neighbors (often friends/colleagues) in an effort to get at their apartment or other belongings. This is not unthinkable with the trajectory the USA is on right now.

Stop, I can only get so erect at the thought of Steven "Dogcum Chowder" Crowder getting arrested and brutalized by the same forces he worships

(the fellow in the meme is a far-right ghoul, for those of you who aren't aware)

Dude’s awful. Beats his wife, makes Jew jokes, insinuates white genocide, double parks always, created a pipeline for youth fascists because he couldn’t get into acting, etc..

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Ah, so he's a failed artist.

He should speed run the failed artist -> genocide -> dead in a bunker pipeline

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe skip the middle step, though.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It's not a speed run if you don't skip a step

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago

Ah, the classic "any % speed run" where you just yeet (from) a part of the game to another part whether you're supposed to be able to or not. Like Shadowboxing in Baldurs Gate 3

We have reached concurrence 🤜

He's also dumb. There is a deposition of him in a misidentified shooter defamation case against him and he is not very capable of following logical conclusions. Like super simple a to b to c stuff needs several clarifications from the plaintiffs lawyer and even then he still doesn't quite get the concept.

Rejected from art school, you say?

Do you Americans mumble the last 2 lines of your anthem now? Because you're neither of those things anymore.

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

Frankly, most of us Americans do not realize that the national anthem, when sung in full, is incredibly racist. There are reasons why the singing stops when it does.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

But the "No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave" gets louder.

[–] SwarmMazer@awful.systems 18 points 1 day ago

I laughed but now I’m sad

[–] dastanktal@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago

Yep freest country in the world where you're free to choose which state chooses the prison you're in.

~~I just wish this wasn't 100% AI because it makes a good point =/~~

Edit: I was wrong, this is a photo shop job.

[–] Lewo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not AI, the shopped in cops are from a picture taken during the 2019 protests in Moscow caused by the violations in the Moscow City Duma Elections. Man in striped shirt detained at a protest

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

OK good to know, thanks. It has gotten hard to tell a shop from AI =/
