Agreed, that bitch Carol in accounting needs to go

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago

What's the joke again?

Man stops at a newsagent every day to read the headlines but never buys a paper.
When asked, he says "I'm looking for an obituary."
When the newsagent tells him obituaries aren't on the front pages he says
"The one I'm looking for will be."

January 1st of 2000 would like to dispute this claim. At some point the world really was just one big party.

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It wasn't simultaneous though, because timezones.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Oh it was at some point, it just didn't start simultaneously; nor would op's celebration.

Yes I remember Jan 1st, 2000. I remember Dec 31st 1999, which... Yeah, everyone was waiting for it. In fact the 90s had so much shit waiting for the lead up to 2000 it wasn't funny.

I've been looking forward to his death too but the more I think about it, it's a mistake to think his death will somehow change the direction things are going

America is conveniently putting all the blame on Trump and ignoring that it took a lot of people to put Anerica in the position it's in. If the problem were JUST Trump, he wouldn't have come anywhere close to being elected. A sane country would have reacted to his behaviour by laughing him off and never giving him any votes or airtime. Trump is in power because an alarming number of Americans (not necessarily a majority, but a lot) agree with him

I've always been annoyed by people wanting to go back in time and kill Hitler. If it wasn't Hitler, it just would have been someone else. There's this strange persistent myth that if we get rid of one evil man, it all goes away. Hitler didn't singlehandedly kill 11 million people. 11 million people aren't rounded up and killed because one man decided to do it, it required people to go along with it

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes.

Trump is the symptom, not the disease.

Its obvious the big big money players are driving his agenda.

They are daring the poor people to fight for their existence.

PS: re: Hitler. Go back in time. Take meth and cash. Find hitler. Get him on meth, buy enough art to get him notoriety, teach him punk music, let punk music advance egalitarian freedom and anarchy, so fascism has harder time gaining traction.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

Might be a symptom but you still breathe a sigh of relief when your headache clears up even if your alcoholism is going to cause another one tomorrow.

It's more about hoping the cult breaks down and won't be unified anymore. Maybe vance can't jedi mind trick people the same way or something? Republican party fractures, rfk jr becomes totally irrelevant, etc.

But yes long terms the problems are still there, the hope is for some kind of respite, force the fascist elements to retreat, and democracy fashions some tools to defend itself better moving forward.

But yeah idk i really hope all the epstein stuff can come out, for example -- more witnesses come forward, actual accountability and jail time for the perps involved -- but it would not be a huge surprise if none of that ever happens

In terms of hitler, if he had died in the war or something, maybe France would have gone full fascist genocide. France was really a leader of antisemitism much more so than Germany before hitler rose to power. But of course, those are the kinds of hypotheticals that can only have absurd answers.

[–] AlboTheGuy@feddit.nl 10 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I mean, of course, then again uniting under a single banner/man does make the faction stronger, under him they simply can't make any mistake, someone else would have a harder time getting away with the same things.

This does not take anything away from how evil they are and how they still exist and will after him

I don't think that's true at all, "if not Hitler then someone else", as if it was some kind of unavoidable deterministic fate.

Personally I will just be ecstatic over never having to hear his dumb fucking voice again.

The cabal of fascists infesting and rotting democracy like termites will have to be dealt with and if anything, at least our shared hatred of Trump has made us come together and organize and prepare to fumigate the whole fucking place.

Directly into my veins.

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

My heart skipped a beat. I thought I missed a headline.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 184 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (18 children)

While that will certainly happen, it won't end the environment that created him or the interests he represents. A brief respite, is as optimistic as I dare to be.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 84 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I'm just looking forward to not hearing him voice his pedo rapist opinions anymore. It's a particular frequency that just won't exist anymore once his pedo mouth is permanently silenced.

It would be an interesting stat. What percentage of the world's population got drunk celebrating your death? Hitler probably tops the leaderboard still.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hitler probably still has the highest percent, but the likes of Putin and Trump might overtake him easily when they go since the world is a lot more connected and it's basically impossible not to hear the news now.

It's funny seeing Americans think even our crappy president is somehow the universally acclaimed Mr Evil himself and that there would be a UN independence day if he kicked the bucket. He could die tomorrow and a solid majority of the planet would only be wondering which of the other millions of available morons will take his place.

Unless you mean Netanyahu in which case everyone except the US and Israel will probably celebrate for 5 seconds before they bomb another school full of children.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't be such a spoilsport, I'll definitely call my friends for a spontaneous party here in Germany.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the question will be... Schnapps or beer?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the answer will be... Both.

And that is good. Very good. A variety of schnapps as well as a variety of beers.

Also, without mentioning a name, we all know who this is about.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 64 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He's so stupid, you even know who I mean when I say "he's so stupid".

I subscribe to a gaming podcast called Nexlander; they have a subscription tier where they’ll read off your name at the end of their main weekly podcast. Every week one of the names is “Maybe today is the day it finally happens” and I have one singular thought every single time that handle is read aloud.

Pretty sure Hitler's death was international news.

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It didn't spread as fast as this one will though. Every timezone will get the news immediately once it breaks anywhere.

First covid vaccine triggered the same event too, no?

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 68 points 3 days ago

From what I've heard, the moon landing was pretty much a global celebration, but yeah, would be a bit different.

You guys are a bit optimistic if you think Mitch McConnell's absence isnt a test run for something.

Celebration? Try "orgasm".

[–] stretch2m@infosec.pub 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I love how everyone knows exactly who this is referring to without including his name.

[–] TopsickPilgrim@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I can't celebrate. I worry about the replacement. Not like they arent anticipating it either.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

There's not a person in that administration who has the same pull over MAGA as Trump. Everyone else is just a wet shit.
