Do you know that the KKK would disperse & never come back when would-be victims armed themselves and shot at them? A big element in the civil rights movement was vets coming back from the world wars with combat experience and firing back on their oppressors. Those are stories that get lost in the pEaCefUL pRoTeST propaganda, but arming up and defending their communities was a huge piece of the black civil liberties movement.
Anyway, point is, turns out people who hide behind masks to commit terroristic acts are truly, deeply chickenshit. I’m willing to bet ICE would do the exact same thing as the KKK if fired back upon.

politics @lemmy.world•President Trump announces 2027 NFL draft will be held on the National Mall
4·1 year agoAgain, the target audience loves that shit. I don’t know if you’ve watched a game lately, but most of the advertisements now are split pretty evenly between:
- Jesus gets us ads
- Military propaganda ads
- Big truck ads
- Fast food ads
The NFL is a money-making machine, and it knows its audience. If they’re doing this, they know their base will eat it up, and I 100% agree. Many people who haven’t tuned in to a game in years will tune in to watch just to show support.
Truly, this is how fucked we are.

20·1 year agoUnfortunately not. Their fans love this shit, seriously. Remember they’re the same fans who went feral during the kneeling demonstrations.

21·1 year agoOkay, but maybe specify that next time. The masses won’t buy used stuff unless prompted, and a blanket statement of ‘it’s okay to like Harry Potter’ without any nuance attached is just gonna give people permission to feel comfortable buying merch, games, Lego, other branded shit which goes directly to her pocket book.

3·1 year agoBut it isn’t when it comes to Harry Potter. The reason I made the comparison is that JK Rowling is also a billionaire using her wealth to influence legislation against trans people. They are more similar than they are different. Buying Harry Potter stuff puts money directly into her pockets to further her TERF goals.
Michael Jackson is a bit more gray.

31·1 year agoSo it’s okay to still like and want to buy a Tesla?
Pretty sure cringe is quoting the Black Eyed Peas
That’s the normal pizzacake comic experience
Yeah, just like everything else, they are cherry picking passages that support the conclusion they’ve already reached on their own
Which is hilarious, because all of their fashion choices in this picture are pretty tacky grandma fashion choices. Merriam Webster puts it perfectly:
"Marked by a cheap showiness: GAUDY.
Marked by a lack of style: DOWDY."
The loud clashing patterns, unflattering large hairstyles, and huge statement costume jewelry are basically that to a T.
I’m all jacked up on mountain dew
Unfortunately you won’t die with us, you’ll die much sooner, not choking on a lack of oxygen or dying of dehydration.
We need more elders like those in Japan who volunteered to clean up nuclear waste because they wouldn’t have to live with the long-term side effects of being exposed to radiation.
As elders, y’all wouldn’t have to live as long in jail ¯\(ツ)/¯

6·2 years agoIn general, with them it’s less that they believe they’ll be CEOs, and more that because of their belief in hierarchy, they believe that anyone in power deserves to be there and should be respected. Just how they believe that women and BIPOC belong below them on the ladder, in their “proper” place (yes even the women believe that, internalized misogyny is a bitch)
That’s literally leftist rhetoric but okay, the “right” can borrow it if it gets us there

31·2 years agoIt’s not really semantics. The manosphere is a specific group of influencers, not men in general. It only seems like semantics if you don’t know what the manosphere actually is.


Millennials, anecdotally, do get really mad at you if you bring up being part of the Zillenial cusp. I had a whole group of them freak out on me for it once and insist that no, I was a millennial only. It was weird.
