I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.
If today (this and the Gaza plans) would have been in Idiocracy, Mike Judge would be in jail for sheer… everything.
How do people see this in their feeds and go “yep, that’s cool”? Because apparently, a lot of people are totally fine with this.
Back in the 1930s the BBC was instrumental in fighting fascism, but today’s news cycle only knows how to trivialize and normalize the downfall.
…time to rewatch Hypernormalization… PS: also related: https://www.404media.co/you-cant-post-your-way-out-of-fascism/
There they go, best buds, genocide bibi and ethnic cleansing don.
top shelf nottheonion material right here.
To horrific and offensive for that in my opinion, but someone already crossposted I guess.
Imagine the outrage if a world leader gifted another leader a golden model airplane after 9/11.
Insanity.
It would be the funniest thing if they were exact copies
Like trumps nice new pager blowering up? Or something else.
Like matching serial numbers
That’s fucking macabre… And since it’s from Israel, there’s probably a bug in the pager too…
Wait, this is real?
Apparently so. I’m at a loss for words for once.
All I want to do is just a string of expletives at full fucking shout for a few hours, this is beyond insanity. Am I just in a decade long coma and this is all paranoia running wild in my brain? It would make more sense than… this.
I was thinking the Onion is trying to be creative but damn reality is worse than fiction can be.
Irony is dead
It’s real
Zios invented modern terrorism. The pager terror attack was just the latest.
Hopefully, it’s exactly like the originals and someone leaks the code.
Yeah, because that’s not fascist behaviour. Fucking hell.
Fucking grotesque. Hey why not make a lampshade of human skin next time. Sick fucks.
These ghouls are unworthy of the oxygen they draw.
Phew. Good thing we didn’t vote for Kamala.
/s
You do remember that this attack happened while Kamala was VP.
I would feel sick if the candidate I voted for was cheering Israel for massacring thousands of innocent people. May I remind you that the DNC barred the pro-Gaza crowd? May I remind you that Trump and Biden were competing on who is the closest Israeli ally?
Yep, having Trump as a president sucks, but at least my hands are not filled with blood.
Did you vote for Kamala? Or did you allow trump to get elected? Guess what, your hands are stained with innocent blood either way. Your hands fill up faster with trump.
I was not complicit in getting either of them elected. My hands are clean, and so is my conscience.
You had a choice to make, either vote for one of them, assuming you’re American and can vote, or be complicit with whomever was elected. You can trick yourself into believing you had no impact on the outcome, but assume what I said earlier was true, you either helped trump get elected, and therefore have blood on your hands, or you voted against trump, and have blood on your hands, but less blood.
The result would be the same no matter the candidate. Gaza was razed to the ground while the democrats were in power. And not only that, but they actively backed the Israeli government. If we allow ourselves to betray our moral principles, then we are on a downwards spiral where each candidate can say and do whatever they want, as long as the candidate next to them is a tiny bit worse.
Hence why I said you had blood on your hands no matter what. This is where harm mitigation comes in, by not voting, you agree to whoever is elected, in this case trump who wants to further ethnic cleansing. This was the last election in the US as we know it. And trump isn’t a “tiny bit worse”.
Who said anything about not voting? There were not just two candidates last time I checked.
I agree to whoever gets elected, because that is how democracy works. As far as I am concerned that might be the last election in the US. period. And the Democratic Party is partly to blame.
As a transperson targeted by the Trump administration, your hands have some of my blood on them. I’m A-Positive about that.
Who do you blame more? The DNC or third party voters?
They’re both equally as guilty.
The DNC for Neo-Liberal Cowardness and Supporting a never-ending war machine, and The Third Party Voters for throwing away a chance to save LGBT lives in favor of huffing faerie dust.
Hmm… A special pager…
InB4 BOOM
I seriously thought this was an onion article!
I wish it was. Sadly, the world is an extremely ugly place.
I triple checked the source and still can’t believe it!
Holy shit…
