It's all pop culture and social trend... Life's not about being an actual decent human being for most people.

Me waking yesterday with no memory of whomst I was.

I am very sick.

This doesn't matter at all. Release the Epstein files.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

We need justice and closure for the survivors. That's why the files need to be released.

The fucking state of Virginia is calling for a moment of silence over this guy. What the hell is going on?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 days ago (13 children)

And to bury the Epstein birthday book. Did anyone realize that the emails between Maxwell and Epstein were released yesterday?

They're martyrizing him. Goal is probably civil war and trans genocide.

the far-right establishment behind the Trump administration is preparing to use this as the justification for the incoming Reichstagsbrandverordnung.

They've got their van der Lubbe now and they're working to get their bullshit in before Nov 2026

I think these fascists are trying to make him their "George Floyd". But unlike what the death of George Floyd represented (a wake-up call and a rallying chant against authoritarisnism, bigotry, institutionalized racism, and police brutality), this is a complete farse and a mockery, completely devoid of any meaning. He died for nothing except to give us some hilarious memes to laugh our asses off for no more than a week

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I strongly disagree.

I'll be laughing for much longer than a week.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I smile when I think of the blood pouring from his neck.

Nazi lives don't matter.

They're claiming it's their Reichstag fire.... They have somehow achieved a negative grasp of history. As in measured on a scale of 1 through 10, these people have a score of -5

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 49 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My fuckwit uncle's response to comments about George Floyd was "well turns out he was an asshole."

So as long as someone's an asshole, it's okay to extra-judicially murder them.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is your fuckwit uncle internally consistent or a racist?

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago
[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago

to be fair this is also a wake up call for them.

if they fuck around, they might find out.

The last time I checked, and fuck me if I'm wrong, the NFL has several black athletes. What did kirk say about black people?

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 82 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Calling the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a "huge mistake"

Describing Martin Luther King Jr. as "awful" and "not a good person"

Stated "If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to think, 'I hope he's qualified'"

Claimed successful Black women like Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson were "affirmative action picks" who "do not possess the cognitive capacity to be taken seriously"

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The league only cares about black athletes to the degree that it can profit off their performance.

Case in point: Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem -- which was honestly an extremely mild form of protest -- and was immediately black-balled.

If they do care about black athletes, they clearly care about money a lot more.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The players are unionized, and the NFLPA has a lot of strong black voices in leadership if I recall (at least as of the last time I looked into it)... But yeah I doubt they'll do anything unfortunately.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago

Remind me who the owners... wait, don't. Let's just look at a picture of the owners of the nfl.

Then think about how 'just' their presentation goes. Compare the owner and the 'peripheral' employees. There's a better picture that I can't find that is often used in sociology classes, where the owner of a team is in the presence of the cheerleaders and the players, and it can't be beat for showing that if you're a rich man wanting slaves and concubines, owning a team is pretty much the next best thing.

The sports associations are fucked.

The information on the tiny amount of epstein files released might be titillating but the real meat and potatoes is in the rest of the huge mountain of information that they did not release.

[–] Samuelwankenobi@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Boycott the NFL if you like American style football just watch Canadian or Australian football or even rugby they are all close enough and in some cases like Australian football I would say are better

If you suggest this to a Canadian they'll rip out your spine, they could never give up hockey or seal clubbing.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

*ice hockey

To quote Marilyn Manson:

"If you die when there's no one watching,

then your ratings drop and you're forgotten.

But if they kill you on their TV,

You're a martyr and a Lamb Of God. "

Got orders at work today to lower our flag to half staff in his honor. No mention of 9-11. This is a public school district :(

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Gross... If I were in charge of the flag, I would be trying to see if it were possible to fly it higher than usual.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Too bad the wires are malfunctioning and the message never arrived

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Also some damn kids tied knots in the flagpole rope, so that's gonna take a few days to fix

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 103 points 2 days ago (10 children)

NFL and nhl are really showing how much they dig fascism. Can’t quite tell with the mlb but the cardinals sure as shit are so fuck them

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (8 children)

NFL is the Millionaire CTE Scramble anyway, so I ain't watching that shit.

Cool, another reason for me to hate football

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

None of those people mattered, duh.

[–] livejamie@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago (9 children)

It will likely happen before every football game this weekend.

Fox News will then publish a pearl-clutching compilation of people booing at college football games, and Trump will use that to justify defunding those institutions further.

i have a suggestion, and that's that everyone going to one of these events, cue up Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik, have multiple copies downloaded on your phone ready to go at whatever public event you're at ready for that jackass' moment of silence, and blare it out your phone. count down one two three then whoever's ready plays at full volume. drown the motherfucker out.

Man would I get my ass kicked once I started up my “CHARLIE KIRK’S IN HELL clap clap clapclapclap” chant during the moment of silence.
