  • The Taylor airplane meme has basically been played out and is no longer funny.

    But for me the reason I found those memes funny is the same why I find it more interesting to take the piss out of Bill Gates rather than Musk. Everyone already knows Musk is a complete nut job. But there seem to be an alarming amount of people that think Gates is genuinely a good person because of his stupid charity.

    From what I see Taylor Swift is just a business woman doing business, and she is very good at that. So most decisions she makes are because she assesses that they are good for her brand, and this includes political decisions/ standpoints. The airplane angle is one of the few things she can not control in this regard, and that is why I find/found it funny to stress that point.

  • Why euthanasia, they look absolutely fine, as healthy and dandy as the average US presidential candidate.

  • My comment quoting the Mueller report got deleted from .world because I was spreading “mis information”.

  • Idk, I got it from the boss when I started working there, no label on it sadly.

  • If you scroll trough my comment history you’ll see what I think of Bill Gates :)

    And I’m not rage bated, I just find Taylor Swift the ecocidal maniac memes very funny.

  • She only emitted the CO2 equivalent of a small African country to get there.

  • Can we not make everything on Lemmy about political memes?

  • I don’t have to imagine, no clue.

  • He said he can’t remember what he was doing that day in Dallas, if he had killed Kennedy don’t you think he would have remembered?

  • Quite impressive how William Henry Gates III managed to PR himself from infamous ruthless capitalist to everyone’s favorite philanthropist. Especially considering he somehow got richer after promising to give away his money.

  • None in particular, I’m saying there is no excuse for genocide. So to determine if Israel is committing one, the actions of Hamas are irrelevant.

    1. Hamas is not taking part in Eurovision.
    2. A war crime is a war crime and a genocide is a genocide, no matter the justification.
    3. Calling Hammas the aggressor ignores quite a bit of complicated history.
  • Russia wanted to place nukes on Cuba, the US said ‘if you do this there will be war’ so Russia backed down. This did not lead to an all out invasion of Russia, this lead to a de escalation and Billions of people not dying.

    I gave you my honest answer, let me ask you a question in return. Why are you not volunteering? Ukraine has a man power problem because even the Ukrainians don’t want to die for this cause. So if it’s so important, why don’t you go there and stand on a Russian landmine so a Ukrainian conscript doesn’t have to.

  • Who is committing the hypothetical genocide?

    Russia started a war of aggression so it makes sense they are banned from Eurovision till that has been resolved.

    Israel is committing war crimes on a scale that is rare in modern history, so also a good reason to be banned.

    And bringing up the oktober 7 attacks kinda sounds hollow after the response from Israel. Hammas killed 1.139 and Israel killed well over 25.000.

  • Indeed it’s not a 1 to 1 comparison. One country is ordered by the ICJ to stop committing a potential genocide, and the other isn’t.

    Edit: added the word ‘potential’ to more accurately represent the ICJ ruling.

  • Russia was very explicit in its intent of breaking that Memorandum, it does not change the fact that promising NATO was dangerous and stupid. And it was also cynical because NATO membership was impossible so long as the conflict in the Donbas was ongoing, effectively forcing Russia to never back down there.

    I'm not saying the Russian government are the good guys or the Western governments are the bad guys, I am saying that big states with big armies have interests and the will to use violence to attain those interests, this is how the world works and we should act accordingly. So if a nuclear power says it is willing to go to war over an alliance membership, it should be taken serious and a peaceful solution should be sought.

    Right now I am in favour of a cease fire, this does not mean the occupied territories become Russian, it just means the fighting stops. And at this stage of the war I don't think one can say with confidence that a continued conflict increases the chance of Ukraine gaining its territories back. All one can say with confidence is that less people die with a cease fire.

    On your last question: I don't have a country, I am a citizen. And if the government (foreign or native) treats me bad enough I might be willing to resist them. But I sure as hell would not want to be conscripted (by any government) to be send into the meat grinder. And if you think differently (and wouldn't mind a night of bad sleep) I invite you to read up on the fait of Ukrainian conscripts; there is a reason Ukraine has trouble finding new recruits, a very good reason.

  • Yes I have heard of that phrase, as have most people I think.
