Such terrible people

I wish both of these boomers would just fucking die already. And take Nancy Pelosi with you too and Chuck Schumer.

I'm here for the observation but don't do my girl dirty like that. She's been through enough.
- Who is she?
  
  Dunno but commenter above you probably means the fact her image was used for rabid feminists for hella long time, mostly in memes but not only.

Why maga a her instead of literally any of the magas available?

86 47

What does 8647 refer to? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
Also not sure about using the picture of the manic looking liberal lady as a template for this. She probably hates Trump as much - if not more - than you. Plus she's had alt-right people posting these unflattering pictures of her online for years.
- I did some thinking and I think it is a reference to '86ing' someone which is slang for kicking someone out. I only heard it used in the 2004 Leisure Suit Larry reboot (probably because I have never been kicked out of a bar). 47 is Trump since he is (unfortunately) the 47th president. So basically saying to kick him out.
  
  Thanks for explaining. Using numbers as political messaging is a bit weird. I'd only ever seen alt-right/crazy people do it before with 1488.
  Edit: I believe you'd call it a shibboleth
- It's this: https://www.newsweek.com/james-comey-deletes-post-depicting-8647-after-backlash-online-2073031
  James Comey posted a picture of "8647" (get rid of Trump) spelled in shells.
  
  I was thinking there's nothing particularly bad or menacing about "8647" as it just means getting him out of office.
  I suppose spelling it out in shells creates an implication of how he would get removed from office, and could definitely be considered a threat.

In a just world both would have been executed
- Unfathomably based.
  Everyone should be outraged that Biden got to live old enough to be a dementia stricken cancer patient. The man is scum of the earth.
  Even democrats who support him should be mad: a prostate cancer is TRIVIALLY easy to detect, they must've known about this for years. And yet, they lied to their base to push that Joe Biden should run for presidency again.

Juxtaposition and contradiction

I've not seen a ton of reactions, but the only people shitting on Biden for having cancer is Hasanabi & friends (the second-largest political streamer, BTW).

I do not shed any tears for the politicians and leaders that croak. Perhaps, I will when for the one who builds a socialized healthcare system for every single legal US resident based on the same healthcare former President Biden is receiving.
- I'll say it here because it's not ever said.
  Republican's cannot appreciate what Americans built because they didn't sacrifice anything to build it.
  Democrat's cannot appreciate what Americans built because they believe they were the ones that built it.
  Americans can't appreciate what we built because both Republicans and Democrats want us to believe we are powerless.
  We need to ignore our government and do what we as Americans believe is the best course of action. A government is empowered by the people for the people. If our government has chosen to ignore the laws we as a country have agreed to abide by, then we have the responsibility to return the courtesy.
  I'm not advocating for lawlessness, I'm advocating for Americans to stand up against fascism and tyranny. Tyrannical rule doesn't follow laws but one. Strength over subjects comes to those who wield it.
  I refuse to be oppressed and subjugated by a tyrant in orange face paint. I refuse to be subjected to the corruption of this cabinet of thieves.
- Carter was good. Better than most deserved.
  Obama tried to get health care. I wish he’d speak out more over the current situation in the US
  
  "Imagine if I had done any of this"
  MFer coulda said that 7 years ago!

nice teeth

typical trump, after that fake codolence message, he went on a rant said biden was hiding his cancer diagnosis for months.
- Yeah I have been seeing redhats claiming that they definitely knew because his wife is a doctor, and there is no way she could have seen these symptoms and not had him checked out. The problem being, Dr. Jill Biden is a doctorate in education.
- We may never know. Maybe he learned about it when he decided to drop from the race ¯(ツ)/¯
- …written by an intern or a PR specialist.
  Donald could NEVER write that, now would he mention Melania
  
  Link to his PR statement?
- Link?

187 - 747 -47 my new gate code

I feel bad for this lady. She was calm and talking in public with two other people and she gets meme'd like she was being unreasonable. She wasn't, but even if she was she wouldn't deserve it.
- She was just mentioning US statistics of women victims of rape, like you said she wasn't doing anything to deserve ridicule and yet became the face of it
- I often think about this when I see people used in meme templates like this. Do they know?
  
  Yes they know
- What was the context? This is the first time I've ever seen this person.
  
  Here it is: https://youtu.be/byOlBCpNKeM
  Rewatching it, I used the word "calm" and I still think that but she was "yelling" but not due to the subject matter. It was more due to the number of people outside and the ambient sound.
  Like, she's just on the side and talking to the guy to me. Not unreasonably.

How do we put an end to this ridiculous "unalive" trend? It's oppressive and childish.
- Fuck the piss shitting motherfucking, cocksucking cunt that uses the word 'unalive'. Tits!
  Not you ThunderWhiskers, you're cool.
- I got banned from hexbear for asking the exact same question. Censoring the word doesn't eliminate the concept, or the act.
- I don't even understand the point. I know americans love to censor stuff, but you just replace killing or death with unalive. Instead of pedophile you say pdf file and so on. Soon you'll be to sensitive to hear ualive, then some influencer make up a new word, until the english language just consists of the 9 least offensive emojis. And all for what? Because parents who are scared of bad words on the internet. And by bad words i mean words children learn by the age of 6
- Simple, just destroy all for profit social media. So easy. /s
- Kinda already doing it by being on the fediverse since this trend is a direct result of corporate induced censorship aimed at keeping platforms “advertiser friendly”.
- I believe it’s mostly to bypass mainstream social media filters. Words like ”killing” tend to be blocked.
  While we’re speaking of putting an end to things, it would be nice to put an end of this meme image. She made a slightly funny face for one frame in a video, and now that’s her legacy.
  
  It’s partially a cargo cult at the moment.
  It used to be like that, people did their own captions for TikTok using capcut and corp-censored bad words in the text but still said them aloud.
  But now TikTok can caption videos automatically and it WILL show “killed” and “murdered” if the word is said.
  So if they wanted to censor something, it’s just a matter of a word filter from the captions
  
  Meme police showing up in force ITT
- Stop YouTube demonitizing content creators for using anything but euphemisms for death, even outside the context of actually telling people to kill others or themselves. It literally started because of YT policies.
  
  they started to change, when youtube is switching to a more targeted audience of young children. thats why they have been heavy handing in moderating violence, sex on videos, or curse words. thats why MR beast is still big there. right wing content gets a free pass though for youtube.
- Just say kill instead of this dystopian Tik Tok bullshit. I refuse to use any service that won't let me talk about the real world without using insane workarounds. It serves nobody's best interests and is only an arms race of fear because people think McDonald's would prefer to sell hamburgers next to the word unalive rather than dead or kill.
  
  I would really like a new age of social media that uses technology advances to monitor intent, not language.
  Censoring someone from saying “I’ve made a lot of advances in my mental health since I was raped, but it feels like I’m hiding my whole struggle anytime I step out the door.” is ironically going to damage their mental health. Meanwhile, use of that word in many other sentences should obviously trigger a ban. And to go one further, many sentences with all “safe” words can be the most harmful.
  I would even say that type of censorship leads people to falsely believe everything is fine in the world, and that causes like diversity initiatives or police reform are unnecessary.
- I refuse to use newspeak
- I had this feeling as well but then I saw that one etymology guy on a podcast. He said using "unalive" has helped a lot of young people be able talk about suicide and death more openly and easily. I'm not going to grammar police then if it leads to growth and open discussion. Even if it sounds silly to me.
  
  The problem with treating certain words as taboo and then using euphemism around them is that it works for a few years tops before you need a new euphemism.
  It's better to promote a society where things like death and suicide are not taboo.
  
  If talking about death is such a taboo it speak a lot about the culture they're cultivating than the word itself tbh.
  I also see a lot of people flipping out when "dead" is used, so it makes sense to me why people push back.

Pretty disturbing the number of lemmies who show up in that second panel, too.
If the hat fits...
- Not sure if the comparison is apt: I think the lemmies in that second panel have a celebration party planned in the case a Trump assassination succeeds.
  
  I won't party. you think I want this to be president?
- I mean, if it was before the Democratic Primaries to force an open primary, sure. Its one person getting sick vs the entire country, its a great sacrifice.
  But Now? I don't care either way. Like, I don't feel pleasure in people getting sick or dying. Its just a trolley problem to me.

8646: 😴 8647: 😡

Huh, the guy crying about 8647 posted 8646 s few years ago so zero self-reflection.

I actually had a look in on /r/conservative today expecting glee but honestly it was full of good words (at least the most upvoted comments).
- the russian bots probably dint allow it because it would make republicans more heartless than they alread are, the politics section of lemmy were gleeful of his diagnosis though, on context of israel. no word on celebrating trump with the same message.
- So only approved redditors can post or comment in r/conservative, but anyone with a reddit account can upvote. The upvote count and ratio has nothing to do with its approved posters view most of the time. The sub is mostly bots anyway.
  
  russian bots yea, they control the outrage of the week there.

MAGA and...certain... .ml users apparently
- You think ml users dislike 8647?
  
  Sorry shoulda been more clear, I mean the right side. One of em even posted the initial news article to !upliftingnews@lemmy.world
  Edit, forgot I grabbed a screenshot:
- That's a desperate stretch, they were actively celebrating the Trump assassination attempts.
