I keep hearing people be shocked about that line as if he's serious and I seriously question most people's reading comprehension. Can they SERIOUSLY not recognize 7 year old level mockery when they see it?

The real news story is ANNOUNCING INTENT TO COMMIT WHAT IS UNQUESTIONABLY WAR CRIMES.

[-] prole 62 points 1 month ago

People know it's mocking, it doesn't matter. If parties were reversed, they'd be literally lynching Obama

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 month ago

Dude ate mustard and people lost their minds.

Actually that's not fair, they lost their minds because he was black. But still.

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

Don't forget the unforgivable offence that was his Tan suit

This 7yr old is smart enough to know exactly what the media will run with and how to manipulate discourse online

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Our presidents have been committing war crimes for decades. Unfortunately, it isn't news.

[-] timestatic@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah no but if Obama said it in the same ironic manner MAGAts would freak out

It’s extremely important to remember and talk widely about the republican capture of US media - this is exactly the point

They scream and scream for weeks about nothing, then bury the real news. It could be the path to fixing america

Eh, what? In the old days, the means of mass communication were limited or expensive, so sure stuff like pirate radio made sense.

But nowadays, anybody can start an Internet radio station for very little money. Or a YouTube channel or whatever. The problem is people not listening, not that they are prohibited or prevented from listening to you.

That means nothing when the search engines and algorithms don't let them show up.

[-] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 6 points 1 month ago

Well, yes. But how would a pirate radio be any better?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

No idea, but the youtube and internet radio aren't solutions either.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That doesn't stop people from sharing it with other people, you don't have to use megacorp services.

This is how we got in this mess to begin with. Talk radio, then podcasts.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well I guess at least some pirate radio would be saying "Did you know it's illegal to say that we should kill the president"

Can't be worse than every station being owned by Sinclair and ClearChannel anyway

[-] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Republicans are how we got in this mess. We need to leverage similar channels if they’ve proven to be effective

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 1 month ago

It's ultimately a both sides issue. The Republicans did this shit and the Democrats did fuck all to stop it.

fascists don't think like that. they don't care, and you're wrong to assume that they care

[-] night_petal@piefed.social 10 points 1 month ago

I hate messing up replies - sorry about that. Anyway, I completely agree. We are very close to needing/wanting a forced reworking of the US government. Fuck, it's only been a "democracy" for around 60 years. People that are, somehow, loyal to the constitution are therefore loyal to an oligarchy designed to make the rich richer. Fuck. When the constitution was framed and signed, roughly 6% of the population could vote and they were all wealthy white men that owned land.Things need to happen, and US citizens need to be very up in arms, but the arms won't work despite 2nd amendment beliefs (I do believe in that amendment personally) because, in the end, small arms cannot harm a fighter or bomber. The US citizens are, despite the guns, incapable of actual revolution - ever.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 5 points 1 month ago

scrap the constitution, start over from scratch. most other countries have rewritten theirs every 20 years or so.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 6 points 1 month ago

That's exactly how ours was supposed to be too

Someone again made bank on polymarket. I think he’s doing it on purpose.

[-] night_petal@piefed.social 29 points 1 month ago

At this point, it isn't even an "I think" anymore. It's just blatant.

[-] OpenHammer6677@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

I kinda think Stephen Miller is making him do it, because Trump seems to be in a worsening mental state and is suggestible

[-] JetpackJackson@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

God I forgot that site existed

Not trying to rag on you specifically OP but I’m sick of these “whAT iF A DemOCRAt Did ThIS?” posts. As if pointing out the hypocrisy is helping at all. Fascists and personality cults do not care about hypocrisy.

10 years into this I don’t know who these posts are for anymore.

[-] night_petal@piefed.social 15 points 1 month ago

Yeah. This is George Takei. He is admittedly old, but has been through more than most. Once you are pushing 90, though, it's probably hard to do serious adaptation to political landscapes.

I disagree. It's clearly not for them; as we continue to get pummeled by aggrigious behavior by world leaders it habituates us the be progressively less shocked by the next insult to democracy and human rights. Checking ourselves and putting these individual acts of hate, racism, xenophobia, and fascism in perspective is the one thing we can do to try to push the bar back to where it belongs.

The riots would be insane. Republicans love violence.

[-] VinegarChunks@lemmus.org 15 points 1 month ago

When the rules do not apply to you, you have to keep on publicly demonstrating this or else you lose it.

[-] gressen@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 month ago

Or raped children.

[-] sploder@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

In a tan suit eating irregular mustard .. the world would explode

[-] Francislewwis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

The what if the roles were reversed test always exposes how selective outrage can be.

[-] 1dalm@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

And, you know, the F-bomb.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 month ago

Praise his noodliness.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

If Obama did it would you say it was respectful or to be an asshole?

That's the difference here.

[-] sash@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I don't get this. Words aside, Obama's actions were as bad, if not worse than Trump's. Obama is as much of a murderer as Trump.

[-] Captain_Buddha@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

What the fuck is this bullshit take?

How in the fuck were Obama's actions worse than this orange baboon?

Fuck right off.

I mean no? Obama was evil as fuck, but at least in terms of raw numbers Trump has him beat. Biden would be a more realistic comparison.

[-] night_petal@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Honestly, this is a kind of literal "old man screams at clouds" moment.
