That dude is a bad ass

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 117 points 2 weeks ago

He had 'em in the first half

This is why it's really important for white, cis men to be allies.

If you are a white, cis man and you are inspired by this man, please speak up. Those of us that are minorities can only push the boulder so far and we need voices that Republican (and unfortunately some Democrat) politicians will hear.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

And things like this do way more than just the immediate apparent impact. Every time a white cis guy speaks out like this, it helps to break down the lie that this bigoted way of thinking is the majority.

It also (hopefully) makes them consider why they only agreed with them before they said murdering women and children was bad. At least, we can hope that some are that self-aware.

The execution was 😙👌

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 83 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like a good portion of the audience was still confused at the end. And you know exactly which portion

[-] match@pawb.social 39 points 2 weeks ago

It's like when you use your talking-to-pets voice to tell your dog he's an idiot

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

The portion that doesn't care about children with skin that isn't white.

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 2 weeks ago

That’s sort of the funny thing. They were disapproving of him, not because they understood he was making a caricature of them, but that he was saying the quiet part out loud.

[-] eurisko@lemmy.ca 60 points 2 weeks ago

This guy's absolute masterclass rhetoric trolling be like:

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wtf is that from? Is that Resident Alien?

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

From this show pretty sure. It's very hit and miss on the sketches for me, but the hits are worth sitting through the misses, goddamn hilarious.

Has this ever happened to you!

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 47 points 2 weeks ago

this guy fucking gets it

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago

Want to steal this man's look and do the same shit

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 weeks ago

“How dare you say out loud the exact thing that I’m thinking quietly.”

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 26 points 2 weeks ago

Is there a name for the trope where someone gets upset so they stop listening, even if you're right?

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago
[-] altec@midwest.social 11 points 2 weeks ago

I think Conservative might be a better word for this

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, I agree.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 weeks ago

Most humans, tbh.

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

There's probably a German word for it

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Gersprekenstufflewaffenspiel

[-] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago
[-] 9bananas@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

because that doesn't make any sort of sense in german; it's nonsense ;)

ETA: "waffenspiel" is the only actually german part of that. and the translation for that is accurate (weapons' game), but also kinda nonsensical, especially without proper context.

the rest is just straight up not a word...

[-] the_q@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Narcissism.

[-] TheMadChatter@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 weeks ago

Masterful trolling here lmfao

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 14 points 2 weeks ago

so like, should we do something about north korea? They have a lot of human rights abuses?

Just trying to be complete here, since the meme here is that they're brown people we don't have to care about them.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

yes, you can start by not funding north korea. oh look, mission accomplished! now do Israel, you disingenuous ass.

funding them would only cause more human rights abuse though wouldn't it?

That's the whole argument that north korea uses. Their population will starve and famine if nobody gives them aid money.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

is this AI, what the hell are you even arguing right now

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'll take that as a yes

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

There probably a little more fire for this because the USA is directly responsible for the genocide. As a matter of fact if we did nothing the world would be a better place, and even better if we did something else.

I don’t recall the human rights abuses in North Korea being a direct result of us intervention.

[-] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I don’t recall the human rights abuses in North Korea being a direct result of us intervention.

I wouldn't say that the US had nothing to do with it, though. The Korean Civil War was brutal for the south, but it was even more so for the north.

the US was involved but i think strictly in support of the south korean side?

From what i can remember it was basically japan that ended up putting korea into the position where was to form north korea.

[-] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

I was talking about the US leveling 95% of the buildings in what is now the DPRK. That put the North at a pretty big disadvantage economically, and hard economic times often lead to despots.

this would've been due to the japanese invasion though right?

Even then, still doesnt excuse human rights violations, to the level that NK does.

[-] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

I never said it excused them, but it does to some degree explain them.

i mean yeah, but if we're going to root cause, it would necessarily be japan im certain. They were the ones invading china/korea at the time. The US wasn't even involved until the end of the war.

that's pretty much a history of the world though.

Everything happens because someone somewhere did something, and sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's good. The US does have a lot of questionable involvement in other countries historically, but so does every other large country, like china, and russia. So i'm not sure how unique that is.

I mean hell, look at japanese history during the second world war.

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Just because others do something evil, it does not absolve you of your sins.

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

evidently not, but then again, if there was no sin in the world, sin couldn't possibly exist could it? There would be no bad, or good, only things. But it does exist, so evidently, people must be doing it.

Seems like it must be a constant of life. Especially when you look at other species of animals. Morality and ethics is an arbitrarily defined human scope. It's nothing more, nothing less.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Probably should stop providing them the means to abuse human rights

they abuse human rights whether or not people give them money.

This has been demonstrated since the beginning of north korea. Giving them western money might prevent them from spending western money on shit like nukes. But they will still abuse human rights.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes and one of America's main things we're protesting against wrt Israel is that we're funding their crimes against humanity
