That Hitchcock meme is great! But for anyone else who wanted it to be real - it was originally a cure for insomnia, not fascism.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 40 points 9 months ago

Thank you, I was wondering

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Plus Hitchcock was an abusive fuck, especially towards women, and he had a movie that was considered positive about the Nazis by some, but later shot a documentary about the Holocaust that wasn't released until 2014, and two anti-Nazi propaganda films that weren't released until 1994.

Proof for the curious. I'll let the bot relink to piped, I'm lazy.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 32 points 9 months ago (9 children)

Oh I love the last line. "An idiot could operate it, and indeed many do."

Bloodlust seeks any acceptable target. Be suspicious of your own instinct for violence. Fascists also think their violence is righteous.

What do you mean "nope"? I'm pretty sure bullets stopped the fascists in WW2. Is this a point of contention with you?

My great grandfather used to drop 500lb bombs on them. It was super effective.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Your great grandfather sounds incredibly based!

Mine had the dubious honors of smuggling booze as an early teen, and allegedly helped popularize deposit fees because he would rent all the major party halls in his city, and then cancel all but one, ensuring he ran the only big party in town on a given weekend.

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

That sounds like the sort of thing my paternal grandad would do.

My grandfather helped your grandfather by going up in untested fighter planes with the pilots and checking to make sure none of the bolts were loose.

He was also an air raid warden in London, meaning he was out on the streets getting people to safety while the bombs were dropping.

I wish I had an ounce of that man's courage... although, being both Jewish and German, he knew exactly what had to be stopped.

Seems like Boeing could really use your grandfather right now.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

I wouldn't want him up there in one of them.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

If your great grandfather is a Soldier type he will deal an additional STAB damage as well.

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He started off as Infantry sent to Gallipoli, then joined the Australian Flying corps and flew over Ypre and the Somme. After the end of WW1 he joined the RAF and flew medium bombers over Europe during WW2.

I just remember him as a kind old man that loved me.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He did that to protect the one he loved! Fuck the facist that throw the world into chaos back then.

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

At least the originals could honestly say that they didn't know how far it would be taken. Modern Nazis know exactly where this shit goes.

I think your great grandfather might have killed mine. I’m totally OK with this.

Conservative followers don't realize they are becoming fascists. It's sad to watch and no conversation helps them.

Unfortunately. She literally rammed her car into another car allegedly just because they made her mad. She had serious mental health issues, and it's horrible that she died, but the same people don't care when it isn't one of "theirs." They'll make excuses for police violence in every case except where it was almost the only logical choice for said agent. Like what was he supposed to do? Some of those people were actually armed despite lies to the contrary. I'd be shitting my pants if the MAGA mob were making my work day that bad. What did they expect? I thought the Capitol police were absolutely incredibly soft and very very professional.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I talk to people online who hate immigrants because they are ‘ruining their town’ and they want to make sure their town is ‘kept in their hands’ and when I call them racist for saying that an African shop hand is incompetent because they can’t speak English they can’t accept it.

They don’t see themselves as racist, sexist, homophobic or fascist.

They’ve unhinged from reality.

Doesn't 'homeopathic' mean it's massively dilluted to the point where there's none of the original ingredients?

Or am I missing the joke here?

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Nah, you're right but many people just take it to mean "alternative medicine", I think

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

I think the joke is that the bullet is smaller than the baseball bat.

But since it's also far more powerful, the joke doesn't really work for me.

[–] Happybara@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

"A system for treating disease based on the administration of minute doses of a drug that in massive amounts produces symptoms in healthy individuals similar to those of the disease itself. "

I believe the bullet is supposed to be the minute dose and shooting all the fascists would count as administering the dose in massive amounts. They could also just be saying it's a homebrew cure since most of my fellow Americans have guns and like to talk about them using them liberally.

Somehow this website is still waiting for an update.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 5 points 9 months ago

Damn. I check that and this website pretty regularly just to see if I need to drastically change my lifestyle that day and so far I have no reason to change.

Damn Alfred was gangsta af

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Alfred was talking about insomnia, in this gallows humor piece. And his next line was, "an idiot could wield it, and indeed many do." Mocking violent idiots, as one should.

Ah yes, good old fashioned lead therapy. For fascism I recommend at least 9mm.

I just hope violence is kept at a minimum. Most of the people where I live are Trumpies (well the older crowd especially) and they truly are just totally oblivious. They certainly aren't evil. It's so unfortunate because these are people I'd say are good people. They've never killed or directly harmed a soul to my knowledge. I just hope if there's violence that it's targeted top heavy because we all know who the problem(s) are and they could probably be counted by any tally counter that goes to 1k. AKA don't focus on the manipulated, focus on the manipulator(s).

Please note this is in no way condoning any violence outside of Minecraft

[–] Crass_Spektakel@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

This is exactly how it started in Germany in the 1930ths:

Old people dreaming of the Empire - which by the way did very little for them - and not really into politics. They just wanted a change.

And then voted for their own hangman.

Best argument a relative told me why he voted for Hitler: "I thought he was a funny guy with excellent dark humor. I didn't knew he wasn't joking."
