Once again I ask you not to glorify war criminals.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 58 points 2 weeks ago

It's good that Obama isn't on the Epstein list.

But a woman's value isn't based on how many people have seen her body.

We shouldn't encourage them to think they're right.

[-] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 56 points 2 weeks ago

a lil early for anyone to be gloating about not being on a list that doesn't not exist any more on Tuesdays.

I say this as someone who doesn't have Obamna Derangement Syndrome: this post is painful boomer slop.

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's basically everything from Occupy Democrats. They're Facebook-tier meme cringe with a side of "how do you do, fellow kids?"

The sad thing is crap like this probably works better than actual logic.

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

We have no idea if Obama is on the list because we don't have the list. We pretty much know that Trump is on it, and someone like Bill Clinton is also very likely on there, but Bush Jr, Obama, and Biden could all also be on that list but we just don't know. It's a list of very powerful people, and anybody who has held the office of the presidency is a suspect as far as I'm concerned.

Stop idealizing Obama. We don't have the full list and he's been no different in terms of foreign policy and bombing brown people.

[-] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I hate obama but there is now way that obama and trump have similar foreign policies other than funding israel

[-] Gaylactus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think this is idealizing him, and I certainly don't, but compared to Trump he's still miles ahead, when you make a "generic" assessment. And the post is still making (most likely) an accurate statement. Obama doesn't strike me as being a womanizer or a pedophile.

[-] tiny_iota@endlesstalk.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

wheres the tea party equivalent reaction from (racists) american politics from trumps election?

oh wait that was the reaction. America couldn't handle a brown person who was even half white running the country and lost their fucking minds. Now we get another loser celebrity con-man. Wonderful. That January insurrection was just a random flux though, right?!

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

sure but that’s not the metric by which we measure goodness, considering. As in, memery aside, he should not be speaking as if he’s not a monster as well. 😂

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Also not a felon. Or rapist. No impeachments either.

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Should be a felon considering his war crimes.

[-] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago

Unlike Dump I actually would want to see Bama's wife naked.

Not really a strong conviction here, but she seems like she's not all plastic yet. A mind up there, too... Always good in my list

Also, she at least looks like someone who's actually had an orgasm in the past 40 years or so.

Smashing the Like button on Occupy Democrats facebook posts is what boomers think meaningful political activism is

[-] peregrin5@piefed.social 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

not voting and spending their lives rage memeing online is what tankies think is meaningful political activism

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Voting is not political activism. Its actually the least important form of political participation. Yet, America still can't get 40% of its populace to engage with even that. Try forming a union, creating propaganda, hosting educational seminars on politics and political history, or feeding and housing those who can't afford to do so themselves (Through a group/org not as an individual obviously). These things are political activism. We complain a lot on the internet because it is very frsutrating to live in a world where the vast majority of people think the most important thing they can do is vote for one loser who hates you or the other loser who doesn't give a shit about you.

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for speaking some fucking truth even is most people will just downvoted this cause it makes them realize how little they actually do.

[-] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago

Funded by the globalist bankers, bailed them out when the housing market fiasco happened, and gave a middle finger to the middle class/homeowners. Obama's bailouts also allowed the banks to take that money and give their CEO's, who caused the situation, huge bonuses.

He then went on and drone-bombed a fuck-ton of individuals including a lot of innocent children and women, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, laughing at the irony. Obama was no friend to the working class, a globalist-first president. Worse than Trump? Just two snakes with the same body.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

Not that you're not right about the rest, but maybe don't use "the globalists" with so little specificity?

When you're using THAT term vaguely, people can't tell if you're (rightly) blaming Obama's kowtowing to multinational corporations and their toadies for a lot of the awful things he did and caused or employing Alex Jones' favorite antisemitic dog whistle to blame a shadowy Jewish cabal..

Kinda an important distinction.

[-] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

Globalist = a crony-capitalistic group of oligarchs who are trying to control commerce, the people, and the world. This is not aimed at Jewish people, but it does include Zionist. Hope that is clear.

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Capitalist.

You can just say Capitalists. The "crony" part is redundant.

[-] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

LOL, you are correct.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Fair enough. I'm not sure I agree with how orchestrated you think their actions are but yep, billionaires and other crony capitalists do in fact control the world and many of them are indeed Zionists without all of Jewdom having anything to do with it.

Thanks for clarifying 🙂

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And youve done what to stop trump?

Edit: Downvote me all you want. How is it trump can mobilize a whole ass nazi movement and its too much to expect dem leadership to fucking do anything about it?

Trump was a con man and reality TV star. Obama was fucking president eight years.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 2 weeks ago

Friendly reminder, that Obama assassinated an American citizen in drone strike.

Anwar Nasser Abdulla al-Awlaki (Arabic: أنور العولقي, romanized: Anwar al-'Awlaqī; April 21, 1971 – September 30, 2011) was an **American-Yemeni **Islamic cleric and lecturer assassinated in Yemen in 2011 by a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. Al-Awlaki was the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and assassinated by a U.S. government drone strike.[6][7] U.S. government officials alleged that al-Awlaki, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen, was a key organizer for the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda.

[-] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

was a key organizer for the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda.

Seems like he deserved it

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, however if everyone is saying illegal immigrants deserve due process that same standard as to be applied to terrorists. If that same standard isn't to everyone; people don't have rights, they have privileges.

[-] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The difference between them justifies different treatment. One is a Group of immigrants that is within your jurisdiction and even your custody and only wants to work. The other is a Terrorist that wants to kill people and is at roughly the opposite point on the globe, far away from your jurisdiction and custody. They don't need to be treated the same.

Also by not killing him they would have disregarded the right to live of his potential victims.

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

Don't forget the official response being he "should have had a better father"

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Killing 12,000 civilians is arguably worse than being on Epstein's list, Barry.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

It does sound about right, but do you have a source for that number?

[-] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

But WhErE iS hIs TiE?!?! 😱

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thing about the second point, I don't believe he truly cares about her at a deep level (not capable) so for him it's more of a "look at how hot my wife is" type of gloat rather than any embarrassment.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 3 points 2 weeks ago

(drops bombs)

[-] abbiistabbii 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, but we have seen your mother naked.

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

hmmm I mean not to defend Obama, because I don't like him and think he's a war criminal.

however this statement doesn't add up, because you can't pick your mother but you can pick your wife

also who cares in the grand scheme of things lol. imo this culture of woman shaming is crazyyy out of date

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Big Gay Abbii from the Big Gay Meme dumps? Someone like you should know better than to shame women like this.

[-] abbiistabbii 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm not, I'm fine with women (consentually) sharing lewds, I'm just saying, we have seen his mother naked.

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

I mean ... Okay but why mention it in this context? The post is trying to use it as a negative. So just correcting that he has a woman he is related to who has been seen naked comes off as still trying to say it's something that one should be ashamed of.

It just feels like the wrong thing about this post to bring attention to without clarifying why one doing so.
