Hint:

SOME OF THOSE WHO WORK FORCES, ARE THE SAME THAT BURN CROSSES

Some of those that burn crosses Are the same that hold office

That would make a kickass lyric someone should put that in a song

Wonder if he figured it out yet?

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 126 points 2 months ago

Figured what out?

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 66 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That is a bit of a misnomer since figuring things out requires at least a double-digit IQ and I don't have one of those.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well, a two digit IQ is below average (well median, but you get the idea) so…….

You know he saw that and probably thought how clever he was to point this out while posting it.

The Great White North Free Press is a far right white nationalist independent "news" media. They're not getting it on purpose.

I recently watched a video responding to a video about Supergirl. Idiot needs Supergirl to be bad so he can complain about it; his channel depends on complaining about popular movies. He complains that she shouldn't be able to get drunk because alcohol doesn't affect kryptonians. Someone explains to him directly that she goes to red sun planets so that she can get drunk, that she CAN get drunk on red sun planets, as was clearly explained at the end of Superman (2025), and his immediate response is "yeah but why drink if alcohol has no effect on her?"

That's not even what a "misnomer" is.

Good catch. I overlooked that, overshadowed by the fail of missing the insinuation in the whimsical analogy.

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 59 points 2 months ago

This guy must listen to RAtM and be like "I don't get it, work forces, burn crosses, this metaphor doesn't make sense!"

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 78 points 2 months ago

"Since when is RAtM political?!?!"

[-] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 40 points 2 months ago

I still love the post where some dude bitches at Tom Morello something like "I liked RatM when you weren't political" and Tom shot back asking him to name a single song that wasn't political so he could delete it.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 87 points 2 months ago

This one is still my favorite

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Love that dude.

Never got to see RATM live, held tickets in my hand 3 times, and it was always cancelled (covid, Zach’s injury). At least I saw Morello a year ago, it was great.

[-] NachBarcelona@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

No idea. I thought they just hate dishwashers or something.

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 57 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of bad old days when Ukrainian cops were the worst shit. Like - plant evidence and arrest you worst shit, beat you up in the alley because you look weird shit. You see a cop - you go the opposite side of the street as far as possible because that motherfucker will have a problem with you. And then one day - the government pulled the trigger on the police reform, fired pretty much anyone with any kind of negative rep and replaced them with new recruits and it is almost as if years of fucked up bullshit were all just the bad dream.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I guess Ukraine didn't push enough propaganda on you to convince half your population that cops abusing your rights, and killing people at will, is great for Ukraine!

That's how we do it in America, the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!®

So they don't know what the word 'misnomer' means at all? You really gotta be brain dead...

[-] starik@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

  2. Application of a wrong name. 
  3. A name wrongly or unsuitably applied to a person or object.

The reason that police departments don’t sell beefcake calendars like fire departments do is because there aren’t enough cops without Nazi tattoos

Hannah Montana is a girl and therefore can't be a "proud boy". Utter nonsense.

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Now that you mention it, I have never ever seen Hannah Montana and Joe Montana in the same place either...

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 months ago

Or Tony Montana for that matter

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago

Reading comprehension test:

Why did the author compare cops and proud boys to Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana?

What conclusions can you draw about the author based on this comparison?

Might be the conspiratorial part of my brain coming through, but I'm half convinced it's not just a stupid person, but an AI that completely missed the point.

I almost wonder if there shouldn't be an extension or corollary of Hanlon's Razor somewhere to account for AI.

"Never attribute to malice that which can be better explained by stupidity, but never attribute to stupidity that which can be better explained by malicious chatbots."

The whole thread is aptly described by the title, as is the choice of where to post this.
