Meanwhile the actual government is taking people off the air for disagreeing with them.

Accuse the enemy of what you plan to do.

Agree that’s the tactic being used now and that was used then.

Disagree with the quote attribution, which in context of the post seems important enough to mention.

It's always projection.

Can.. can gay people really do that?

Wait until you find out how we can control the weather. O_o

Now I know why I'm overcome with gayness whenever the north wind blows.

They team up with the Jews on the giant space laser thing?

Reminds me of that new weapon the charismatic church has developed.

Every so often someone yells a warning of "Glow Ray!" just before half the congregation fall over.

"The degayening ray. I can dodge this"

He could not

Gay people, in general? No. But, gay people as in more than one gay person? Yes. Absolutely. Why else do you think we go around telling each other things like "Slay, Queen"?

My plan is to be friendly with them...just in case.

[–] Nunar@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

Fuck the right completely. I'm going to have to be like my grandfather and be against fascists . Everyone else should too

As a 45 year old white man, you know what hurts my feelings? When people get mad at me for telling them how they should live their life. And when I crack a joke to lighten the mood or give them a nickname they tell me to stop! Man don't tell me how to live my life.

My wake-up call probably should have been when a member of my own family insisted that Christians are the most prosecuted people in the USA (this was circa 2024).

Although it wasn't all that long ago, at the time, I just chalked it up to being another of that person's regrettable opinions. After all, it's patently ridiculous to believe that it's illegal to say Merry Christmas, that kids are being expelled from public schools for praying (but only Christian prayer, Muslims are still allowed to pray), and other non-sense like that. But, sadly, it's more and more evident that vast swaths of the nation actually do not care that these beliefs are false, it's real to them, so that makes it easy to view themselves as being persecuted.

They're actually the third-most prosecuted group, after white hetero cis males, and gamers

Jesus, how far do you have to be down the panic hole to believe this stuff?

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

You have to be "my non-binary lesbian niece tells me I am being hateful when I remind gay people that they are sinners and real marriage is between a man and a woman but I don't hate anyone it's just what I believe and I feel like the government should force everyone to live by my personal flavor of Christianity's moral standards even though I really don't even do that myself" down the panic hole to believe this stuff, at a minimum, based on my experience.

Psychosis. Similar to the AI one, but except of a sycophant LLM AI, it's political leaders, pundits, and "journalists" doing the job.

[–] Sidhean@piefed.social 13 points 2 months ago

I can't believe a 'rightist' made art of the Right weaponizing the phrase "hate speech"! That's pretty cool! :3

Love how the head looks like a meatball with tomato sauce

[–] TheFermentalist@reddthat.com 8 points 2 months ago

Where else have I seen something like that recently?

Why do I feel like this is some lush shit.
