I’m really starting to get how germans musta felt and how society just…slipped down. Like I’m looking right at it and my lil eyes are open as they’ve ever been but I’m still really having a hard time internalizing that dude is fr. Fuck me

Yo, Fascism already won my dudes. Biden is just seeing the writing on the wall and adapting to the change.

So i infer from your attitude you too will be adapting to this change? My dude?

This had better be bait. Fuckin libs mannnnn quit breathing my air

It’s time for the democrats to start doing the same. Taking the political high ground for “norms” and “traditions” is causing their constituents to suffer.

My brother in christ that is what this meme is saying. When constituents are crying out for help, the Dems tell us “Biden must not stoop to fascism”. I remember liberal lemmyposters using that very argument quite recently. Biden finally decides to abuse his executive power after years of telling us “The D’s are better than that” and it’s for personal gain. THAT’S THE JOKE

Fuck me running… here you be defending that choice. Why?

Why?? It’s abundantly clear he will never use it for you or me.

What part of this post is about mothafuckin Trump homie?

Stop enabling lawlessness cuz it’s from your colored team.

No the memes are gettin self-referential too quickly for me because i need even more cat pics.

I will add a cat pic because this post does not have one and by gaw it will

Transgressions!

Memes all the way down

i am tank

One of the worst abuses of stereo in my opinion are old Beatles albums. Maybe cuz the tech was somewhat new they were playing far too much? Too much for me anyway

Did anyone watch rugrats? I was a bit too old but memes I’ve seen paint it as ‘real’

Wheres civility when you need them? Civility where are you?

Hehe “trigger” warning

He had no resistance, he had no plan, he had no ideology, or grand vision.

I think the small difference in our opinions is perhaps our different meanings ascribed to the word “resistance”, which does not (in my mind) have anything to do with a vision or an ideology. It can of course but a simpler, baser resistance is what he did, and what i mean.

Why couldn’t Lawrence just become the killer the US military wanted him to be? Perhaps he himself didn’t know, but in the end instead of moved by the inexorable power to change in to something he was not, he resisted this change. He could not be moved, could not be moulded into what they wanted him to be, “went crazy”.

It wasn’t a choice, youre right. He couldn’t become it. And unfortunately (j/k fortunately. a speech would be dumb) he didn’t have the screen time to write a speech on why he did what he did. We’re left to guess why he made this decision. Now if we all had an assignment to write a paper on leonard’s motivations but weren’t allowed to use the word “crazy” or anything about his intelligence, what would one say was going through his mind?

Great movies that don’t tell the audience everything also invite the audience to make these connections themselves. There’s no right answer either of us will walk away with here but it’s a fun exercise and a good one; one shouldn’t just dismiss these ideas because they are not spelled out explicitly

Any act of resistance was by complete accident. He was just pushed over the edge.

Are those two things any different, really? Some people, maybe most people, respond to unrelenting pressure by giving in. Hell maybe Pyle was mostly like this for the most part. Maybe most of us also have one thing we can’t abide, one thing where we’d break before we aquiesced. Isn’t that what resistance is?

Well, maybe not the party but the true bluelievers are looking at the severed arm and crying “why would Russia do this?”

I think it’s super not real. So unreal it cycles back to real again. Poor thailand boy.

I wonder if it was intentional on the artist’s part to change the helmet after panel 2?
