I'm offended. He should've said "to whom"

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 154 points 2 months ago (11 children)

I'm sidestepping some parts of his past for obvious reasons, but you get the idea.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 61 points 2 months ago (4 children)

My favorite version of the same

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 30 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Ooh, I have a dukes of hazzard model ive had for years because I didnt want to throw away a perfectly good model, and I also didnt want to make a racist shitbox. This is a solid option.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh hell yes, please do this. There's a lot of options for subtle changes if you search images of "general grant car."

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 22 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I kind of want to name it "Northern Aggression", and find some good small pride stickers and rainbow pinstripe....and maybe an antifascist action sticker for the hood?

Well I'm going to end up going down an ADHD rabbit hole of indecision on this for a while....

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yoooooo

There is room in this world an alternate universe Fast and Furious franchise where it's nothing but buck fucking wild meme muscle cars driven by a montle crew of drag queens and furries, doing lefty adventure shit.

And it would demand a mighty stable of queer as fuck muscle cars, going from the subtle and prim and not quite proper, to rainbow pinstripe Trans-Ams that lives drives into the backend of a rolling base modeled after Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

He's got some serious Hugh Jackman vibes - maybe that Wolverine stuff is based in reality.

It’s offensive to our lord and savior Charlie Kirk who died for our right to die from gun violence

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 2 months ago

I bought the T-shirt at his funeral!

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 94 points 2 months ago (1 children)

See also "The civil war was about states rights" "States rights to what?"

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the civil war was about the northern states' right to not capture and return escaped slaves

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Funny story. Back in the day, Massachusetts found a loophole- there was a case in my town, where a couple slave catchers showed up, and grabbed the wrong guy- the son of a buisness owner and prominent black family.

They were immediately besset upon by a mob, and got thrown in jail. There were riots, and people threatening to burn down the jail ( a 1room shack with just the 2 slavers in it)

When they were brought in for arraignment, judge decided on a summary judgment, claiming it was too dangerous for them, to either be released or held in custody for a trial.

He opted to impress them I to service, on a whaling ship, which was a 90% black crew.

Yep, he litterally made them slaves ri a black man. They were both 'lost at sea' within 2 months.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

This is like "it's turtles all the way down" except it's fucked-up legal situations all the way down.

Legal slavery 👉 Legal slave-hunting 👉 Caught the wrong guy 👉 Threat of mob justice 👉 No trial 👉 Impressed to service 👉 Legal whale hunting 👉 Almost certainly murdered at sea

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 85 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Using their beloved rebel flag as the noose is the cherry on top.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 20 points 2 months ago

Totally. It's their "heritage" so it serves well.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 74 points 2 months ago (3 children)

"In trouble" how? "You can't wear that because you didn't bring enough to share." At least give everyone a RedBubble link!

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 43 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Got to be careful wearing a shirt like that. The idiot criminal president just declared being against fascism is actually being a terrorist.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At a certain point, the word “terrorist” becomes less threatening. We are currently at the stage where my niece refusing to pick up her toys makes her a terrorist.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Remember! Do not negotiate with terrorists!

"Oh who the fuck am I offending!? The Nazis??"

Just reminded me of that quote from the Hellsing abridged series. Extrajudicial murder is still not good.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago

Doktor: "It looks like our forces are getting slaughtered."

Major: " Aw, who gives a shit? They're Nazis."

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m not saying this is the only place and I’m DEFINITELY not promoting it because t-shirt scams based on memes are well established. But it is interesting to look at.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

$45 for a shirt is ridiculous.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Hey it’s a small business. You give $45 to morons all the time. This at least goes back to Americans who aren’t billionaires.

Another woke DEI moment!

This is secretly the best ad ever. Where can I buy it?

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

sign me the fuck up I will wear that shit every day.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Where is this dude wearing this? Pretty sure he’d risk getting shot where I live.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

Eh, he's likely already at risk because of his skin color.

Where would you get one of those? Asking for a friend.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Several results showing that the back says in giant bold letters KILL THE KLAN so just Google that

"You're incinting violence" "You make it sound like it's a bad thing"

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Here's a recent list of lynchings in America. Many are deemed "a suicide". https://newsone.com/playlist/black-people-lynched-recent-years/

So this shirt is just suicide awareness in that case.

Found one on eBay. Just search, "Kill the klan." There are a bunch of sellers and options.

[–] LegoBrickOnFire@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I am offended because there is something that looks like a swiss flag. It probably has another symbolism, but I don't like my country being associated to the KKK

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 28 points 2 months ago

Well, that is the KKK symbol on wikipedia. You should probably direct your grievances to the racist fucks at the KKK.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

you think that's annoying? Spain is tired of telling everyone that those aren't klan hoods and they had them from before the US even started considering racism.

Yo where can I get me that shirt?

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Good trouble!

[–] alexc@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

I want one…

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Anyone who does anything other than laugh at that is a asshole.
