Jesus, they're going through and "purifying" all the different government archives. This is gonna do irreparable harm to our knowledge of history. Utterly vile

[-] traches@sh.itjust.works 210 points 1 week ago

jesus christ they’re dumb

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 118 points 1 week ago

They know exactly what they're doing, it's a "purification," not entirely dissimilar to the same that happened in the 1930s in Germany.

[-] Alterforlett@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago

I think most people realise. It's still really fucking dumb

[-] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 1 week ago

Oh, no, they're dumb as a bag of bricks. Dumbest Nazis of all time. AI just makes them dumber.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Nononono! They're super-smart! Even when everything they do looks exactly what an incredibly stupid person would do that's just because they're playing 1000D chess! They've thought of everything so we should all just give up and accept their rule.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Does everyone big country have to go through that phase?

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

When nobody stands up to stop the fascists, yes.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 29 points 1 week ago

not at all. trying to eliminate gay people from history, and also a nice convenient moment to sweep some war crimes under the rug

[-] traches@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

People like this don’t think it was wrong

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago

they're not who they're manufacturing consent from. it's the ~55% of people who apparently listen to nothing but spotify and watch nothing but entertainment

[-] 1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee 116 points 1 week ago

Also apparently any photo of any Black or woman service member.

Because they didn't consider the possibility that women and Black service members did noteworthy things based on their actual merit.

"Images of historically significant military achievements or personnel, such as the Tuskegee Airmen and the first female Marine Corps infantry graduates, have been flagged for removal."

Wow. That's pretty blatant.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

The Tuskegee airmen thing pisses me off so much. Like brick-throwing shit-burning degree of angry.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Including a Hispanic Marine who received a Medal of Honor for jumping on a grenade to save his comrades. Medal given in 1946, the infamous period of DEI...

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 84 points 1 week ago

Normal country

Normal things are done in it.

I’m fine. We’re fine. We’re all fine here. How are you?

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago

"It was a lousy conversation anyway. Chewie, we're gonna have company!"

If they do this then they should at least be consistent and remove every mention of the words Straight, Bi, Pan and Trans as well

Taking your Biplane for a transatlantic flight, straight to the Panama canal? That's a paddlin

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

That phrase is an incantation to cause aneurysms in racist grandpas.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Via the Gulf of Mexico.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

Bicycles are banned. Cars are no longer allowed to have transmissions either.

Tran-sport in general is banned. So is all Bi-ology.

[-] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Transatlantic towards Panama?

We Europeans didn't ban those words.

Transcontinental would work though

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I wonder how the fascies will say: "I need a new frying pan"

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 57 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I was really hoping this was a case of intentional malicious compliance to draw attention to the stupidity of this new policy. No such luck.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

find /mnt/gubarmentfiles/ -name "*gay*" -exec rm {} \;

-- some dogenerate, propably.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 week ago

I don't believe that they're even that capable. Probably really on LLMs to write every script for them and don't know whether or not it actually works.

[-] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 1 week ago

So the snowflakes have reached the banning words stage now, have they?

[-] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The Enola Gay is still mildly radioactive, so I can’t help but think “Hot gays in your area ready to bang”

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

They're also removing pictures of a Medal of Honor recipient from World War 2. His crime? Being Hispanic. Because being Hispanic and being awarded the MoH posthumously is obviously DEI. From that infamous time of DEI awards, 1946.

[-] lalala@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

This is just a book burning.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Why can’t they just rename it Enola Straight?

Though Enola sounds pretty ethnic.

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Enola sounds pretty close to Ebola... Two reasons to censor this picture!

[-] philthi@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I just did whatever the opposite of eating the onion is. I assumed this was the onion.

[-] borokov@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

The fuck ???

It's the name of pilot's mother: Enola Gay Tibbets !!! It has nothing to do with LGBTQRSTwhatever !!!

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

This is just the right kind of absurd for our current government circus. I believe the headline completely without even reading the article.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I wonder if this is an example of malicious compliance.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Likely it's being done this way to overwhelm anf tire out the activists of all kinds ASAP, then the techbros can build their network states.

So sad what they did to the mother who raised a good Little Boy

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

So censorship 🤣

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 3 points 1 week ago

I mean, That too.

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

What are you doing this weekend, Trump? Something gay, no doubt?

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Sucking on more toes.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 2 points 1 week ago

Making the gay pay tarrifs.
