A rare funny from them.

ahhh, the "conservative who identifies as a comedian mk8 the same joke 50 times" version of the onion?

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 63 points 10 months ago (4 children)

why is this community putting babylon bee headlines on my front page

Because they cannot/don't want to read. Or they just don't care

Right-wing version of The Onion.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Wait.... So their version of a joke is to.... Make a joke at their own expense because of how shitty Vance is?

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They are more traditional right, not MAGA right. They make fun of the Republican party all the time.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh? Glorious glorious juicy infighting.

The pot: No, YOU'RE black!

The other pot: No, you're black.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

We're all black on this blessed day!

[–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fuck knows, honestly. I'm not American so I don't even try to claim to understand Republicans.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm American, and me neither. It's honestly still such a mystery to me that I do think about quite often.

The best that I can come up with is that it's a mixture of a culture of oppression through a cycle of psychological abuse that they've grown to be proud and belligerent to perpetuate, deeply profound ignorance, and a unique emphasis on faith and its taboo of critical thought; all amounting to a society with a stagnation of free will and progress.

Of course, that is a amalgamation or conglomeration of a wide spectrum of archetypes of people, liberals and non Americans included. It's a survival instinct and a cope in almost all cases.

Finding people even conceptually aware of this earthly prison is rare, and finding a person with both an awareness and a plan to bring us above it AND the power to bring it to fruition AND the drive to do so... hasn't happened yet.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Also with a Christian slant if I recall correctly

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The Onion but by Christian conservatives.

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

They were pretty funny when they got started. They would openly roast Joel Osteen and all the Prosperity Gospel crap. Then they decided to wade into politics. And misogyny. So much misogyny.

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Technically it’s a post of guy putting a Babylon Bee headline on someone else’s page, now screen shot to yours.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It took me 10 seconds to realize this was a joke, and another 10 to get the joke.

I don't like this timeline

Smart move, JD would've sucked that old man's tongue right out of his head.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I still haven't been able to wrap my head around that event. It makes me want to vomit.

In light of the Dalai's earlier pronouncement that his successor would be female, the administration has promised him immortality.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

But... isn't the gist that his successor is himself?

🏳️‍⚧️

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The gist is that his successor isn't whoever the Chinese Communist Party says it is (either directly or by trotting our that kid they kidnapped decades ago who hasn't been seen since).

Nirvana does not care for the mortal body limitations. Enlightenment is universal.

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Tell that to Buddhists, especially Tibetan Buddhists which explicitly discriminate against women and claim they will never reach enlightenment.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Exactly why they themselves haven't reached enlightenment. Too concerned with being petty of others instead of untangling the self.

Have people forgot already the "suck my tongue" pedo shit this guy pulled out?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (3 children)

No, I definitely remember when the mainstream media jumped at the chance to smear one of the most peaceful spiritual figures alive, context be damned. They took a culturally unfamiliar moment and ran it through a Western lens to manufacture outrage. And look, they're still collecting dividends on it!

That does sound like something the Dalai Lama would say.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It is a cultural difference slightly taken out of context. Albeit it is incredibly jarring for Americans and other European countries. He did issue an apology for it.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It is a cultural difference slightly taken out of context.

Go on ...

This is a perfectly normal thing in Tibetan culture?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Sort of. According to residents who defended him they said it is a normal joke that elderly people to do children in Tibet.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago
[–] Underwire@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

By the way why the pope even accepted (he or someone of his entourage) to meet with JD Vance?

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 5 points 10 months ago

He doesn't want to die yet.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Dalai is finding himself some Necrotic damage resist gear first.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Flashbacks to Assassin's Creed 2 where you fistfight with the Pope.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

I dunno, if he keeps missing appointments like this it'll reflect on his performance review
