And with Trump calling her a "racist" too implying she's racist against white people. Gotta remember the wet boy is also a fucking racist shithead.

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Like I get pointing and laughing at someone like trump-moist, but sometimes I feel it leans too close to an irony-poisoned indifference to the horrible things he says and propagates.

I understand not caring in the grand scheme of things because it's ultimately nothing new in the West, but it's still rough when you want to talk to people about the blatant dog whistling.

“They never went after those that Rigged the Election,” Trump wrote. “They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!”

Far more pathetic than just saying the actual slur

Like they're racist but they can't even commit to being racist in a socially unacceptable way

They have to be politically correct racist lmao

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

It is like the let's go Brandon shit, they think they're so fucking clever.

Ah yes, Abe Lincoln would certainly be most concerned about divisiveness.

[-] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Unironically though. He was elected by a coalition of people who wanted to stop slavery immediately, and who wanted to stop it over time, but was way more moderate than they wanted.

Remember, the south seceded because they assumed the country would eventually get around to banning slavery, not because they actually tried to.

He consistently tried to find a middle ground, saying he'd be fine maintaining slavery if it meant the country stayed together, only freeing slaves only in confederate-occupied territories (until the political situation changed), trying to send them to Africa, etc.

You can't pay me enough to click that link. 0_0

[-] DoghouseCharlie@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

Meh, this is Let's Go Brandon all over. Just say it if you're gonna say it!

[-] trudge@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago

They actually like saying "Let's Go Brandon" and " Rigger" more.
It's a secret codeword for them to show in-group affiliation. There's no point to a dog whistle that is so transparent and blatant, but I never accused them of being intelligent.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 18 points 1 year ago

It's not a code word if we all know though.

Still functions as a uniform. Digital uniforms are powerful tools to create collective political engagement.

4chan: We're gonna start using the OK handsign as a white power symbol

Normal people: That's fucking weird, stop being weird

4chan: We just owned you so hard lmaoooo

Normal people: jesse-wtf

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

Classic and tiresome bullying tactic: do something technically not against the rules to violate the spirit of the rules.

I see this shit at schools all the time. debord-tired

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

holding a needle 3 nanometers from your eyeball and screaming "I'm not blinding you!"

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

I remember after Ahmaud Arbery was shot dead by those two vigilante pigs that they started calling black people "joggers" as a dog whistle.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

They're always coming up with nicknames for black people. They tried using "Google" briefly to screw up the google algorithm and "Basketball American" was another one. Neither really ever caught on.

[-] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Basketball American is a lot older

[-] iamanurd@midwest.social 33 points 1 year ago

Fuck me. Is it too late to hop into a different timeline?

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

seen-this-one It's ride or die baby

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

We only ever had the one

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Weren't they using a synonym for stingy that was close to n-word+dly back during the Obama years? Americans just like racial slur edging.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I remember that.

Crybully cowards.

[-] PandaBearGreen@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

So triggering when you confront these assholes and it all, 'what? I didn't mean, What did I say?'. Makes me want to get all praxis.

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago
[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

That word's felt dicey to me for a long time there. yea

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I was going to give them benefit of the doubt because the creator is black but turns out I was thinking of Cyberpunk.

...As is tradition.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

IT'S JUST THE OK SIGN CLEARLY YOU ARE DERANGED IF YOU CALL IT OUT very-intelligent

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

It's almost worse because Rig...Drone operators...in Shadowrun can do some cool stuff but the one thing you'll get to do is drive. The ensuing meme is that nobody wants to play that class.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Deckers get to be the ultimate party splitters by contrast.

[-] Redcat@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

'our plan is to explode all the computers'

'bro i'm a decker thats my time to shine'

'scratch that we are cutting the power to the entire neighborhood'

[-] VHS@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

The chuds on T_D been doing this since 2020 (and not exactly subtly), seems like trump himself finally caught on?

Trump and his supporters are never:

A. Clever

B. Intentionally funny

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Obvious racism aside the BDSM community will not take this laying down and no that's not just a setup for a horny punchline, this shit means war

[-] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

VFX workers and BDSM enthusiasts stand united

I bet I could make a ton of money selling maga branded dram measures.

they're called "jiggers"

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

I remember Clinton supporters claiming that Sanders supporters were doing that on EnoughSandersSpam

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Clinton supporters will claim anything and everything.
