Nothing Conservatives say should be taken at face value. They have no consistency in their beliefs. When they engage with anyone else, their only goal is to sound right at that given moment. They will refuse to acknowledge any contradictions.

The regime has insured Epstein didn't kill himself will be the next Jet fuel can't melt steel beams or It was the guy at the grassy knoll for years to come.

The problem is that this approach only works with people who are able to feel shame and/or care what the plebs thinks about them...

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 21 points 22 hours ago

Pretty much. Their job as political instigators is to spread bullshit. Paid, grifting, or just fuckfaces, they don't care about the truth.

Karlie Chirk being on here is no surprise.

Spineless little worm he is.

That's such an awesome account. I don't have Twitter but can we get more posts of this. It's so funny

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 42 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I just wish it was actually helping. You catch these guys in a lie and they aren't even embarrassed, they know already.

To shame a hypocrite, they must desire legitimacy. These are people whose ideology has no such hindrances.

The worst part isn't even that they aren't embarassed - they're propagandist ghouls, one basically expects that. It's that millions of 'normal' people react the same way, and find this behavior normal and laudable.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago

It's deeply chilling, yes - the normalising of inhuman sentiment.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well it's not really working because we are not creating content to show it.

There's the issue we have. People make fun of it when I say it but we do not shit post nearly enough.

People are so ready to go punch a Nazi when that day comes but ask them to create one of these accounts or download gimp and make content or just share content and build networks and all of a sudden you're an asshole asking the impossible.

I listen to Sam Seder and Jon Stewart and see daily clips that if we showed them to any trumper they would shut the fuck up. Like a digital punch. There's no way for them to worm out an excuse when their guy says something dumb or hypocritical. And you know what? Other people see that and start to see behind the curtain. But we don't actually do that. Instead we stay here on Lemmy and scoff at things but we don't then go out and use the Internet to spread it.

I'll actually challenge anyone here to suggest to me any place on Lemmy that I could maybe post clips that you'd see on Sam Seder or Stewart. I really don't think there are and yet those are probably the most effective things we could share to make trump people eat shit. Why is it that we don't have that?

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Why do you think you couldn't post them here? Or any of the other hundred meme/politics/shitpost communities

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

It's not the correct format. You couldn't post a clip just to discuss how stupid it is. It's not Meme and it isn't an article. At least none I've seen. Do you know of any

[–] peregrin5@piefed.social 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

To shame a hypocrite they must first have the capability to feel shame.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

It's just plain bad faith. They aren't bothered by getting caught because they don't believe anything they say.

Time was, being a sociopath whose sole aim was to undermine all of society would get you killed or exiled. Why'd we ever stop?

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

They also get off on knowing that the "rules" don't apply to them. Debate Bros only ever say what they need in order to "win" an argument; like you said, their only beliefs are whatever they need to believe to score a point.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago

They don't care because people on the left do not actually hold accountable.

Where is a big enough left leaning account with enough eyes on it that is really sharing their bullshit.

They're not sociopaths. That's insane thinking because it suggests they're actually being held accountable. They're logically just doing their job. The failure is theirs, it's ours.

It's like having a speed limit on a highway without any actual police presence. You're not a sociopath because you speed.

Come on, this is like "don't wrestle with pigs" bullshit. I read comments like this as if you are suggesting nobody should bother rubbing their shit in their face?

Like where does this come from. It's so nonsensical

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 26 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

So this means old Billy Bob Clinton is totally innocent now doesn't it. Bet that will short circuit a few of these fucks. And all that bullshit the right wing was spouting was simply cancel culture and wokeness.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly I think he's probably not innocent. Or at least I'd say there's at least one reason why nothing was released under the biden DOJ.

That being said... I want them released. If guilty people are walking because some assholes wanted to protect guilty democrats... that's also obscene as hell. If in 20 years the real files come out and it turns out biden allowed trump to reach power just to protect criminals in the democratic party, any scrap of respect for him or his legacy will be gone instantly.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I think TOP is saying that it'd be a conflict of interest to the above MAGA dumbasses and their ilk. By dismissing the list, they have to implicitly absolve Bill Clinton, who I believe some alt-right were saying was on this list (in their now-classic whataboutism).

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The sound of a million necks cracking from whiplash.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 6 points 23 hours ago

While simultaneously decrying “ambulance chaser” lawyers

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

So, the DOJ released a memo saying basically that there isn't a list and Epstein killed himself. Why are the MAGAts changing their tune now? Is it because if the DOJ said it and Trump is currently at the helm, then (by their logic) Trump must approve of downplaying the whole "Epstein list" thing?

We must focus our focus on being Islamophobic… 🤔
