A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•We now have online casinos with corrupt backdoor ties to the Trump family letting people bet on the actions of the Trump family. It's not insider trading anymore. It's just the house's cut

I want to have this on my wall, right in eyesight of my reading chair as I peruse the news each day.
Fucking based
This one in particular. Every time we see a protest in an authoritarian regime, it is excused as a CIA plot, the actual people are never acknowledged as humans fucking pissed at having a boot to their neck.
IRL, I’ve been accused as being a paid shill because I protest. Authoritarian shitheads literally cannot imagine people have different opinions from them, nor that they would take any action over it.

In the thread people are literally are calling the humans with husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, and mothers murdered for protesting “Mossad plants”.
I won’t defend Trumpian bloodthirsty colonialism. Just pointed out how people are downplaying and excusing an evil theocratic regime that terrorizes their own citizens.
Oh gods, did I downvote a comment that was mocking the thousands shot in the face for protesting agaisnt a theocratic regime? Oh, gee, thank you for cyberstalking my downvotes to correct me, it makes us all feel safer in the 'verse!

Lemmy is wild, you can say “People are defending mass murder of protesters” and someone will respond with “Oh, so you like schoolgirls getting murdered?”
No bitch. Thats a whole new sentence. Wtf are you talking about???
ITT: Whitewashing and justifying all the protester-murdering Iran did a couple months ago.
It certainly is, I would have used a different version of a “stick up the ass shirt” to convey my contempt for people who can’t joke, had I used Abominable Intelligence to generate it.

251·15 hours agoWhat insider? Which guy is 16 for 16? What source? I don’t disbelieve that could happen, but I can’t find anything as specific as this that back that up, and uncritically taking tweets at face value will be the death of us all.
electoralist
Try not to fall off your high horse, jerking yourself off about what a good person you must be for not engaging with how Power is gained and exercised in this country. Maybe you can use everyone actually impacted by the Redcap regime currently being grinded into paste as lubricant?
If half of the toothless online “revolutionaries” actually tried organizing, or at least the political equivalent of brushing their teeth by voting in primaries from the start instead of the endless purity contests, we wouldn’t be here.
I borrowed the comment wholesale from the first link, thank the OG ycombinator masklinn for their timestampery!
Is this more your speed?

And remember,
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle. — Brian Cantrill (https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc?t=33m1s)
And
I actually think that it does a dis-service to not go to Nazi allegory because if I don’t use Nazi allegory when referring to Oracle there’s some critical understanding that I have left on the table […] in fact as I have said before I emphatically believe that if you have to explain the Nazis to someone who had never heard of World War 2 but was an Oracle customer there’s a very good chance that you would explain the Nazis in Oracle allegory. — also Brian Cantrill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fvDDPaIoY&t=24m)
