A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

In France we have Jean-Marie Le Pen. He tortured people and was friends with nazis. He's 96 and still alive.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For any wondering, no, that's not a coincidence. He is Marine Le Pen's father.

I don't agree with the idea of punishing people for their parent's crimes, they may turn out alright in spite of their relationship to their parents. That has no bearing on Marine, tho. Hope France does everything in their power to keep her away from anything that counts as influence, tho.

Jean-Marie Le Pen

He's 96 and still alive

That's awful!

Roman Polankski is 91 and still kicking.

I feel like the universe's Karma Police needs new recruitment or leadership or something.

People who do shit like that, evade justice then live that long shouldn't be allowed to happen. The way light can't escape a black hole, degenerate and violent people shouldn't be able to escape justice.

Counterpoint: Jimmy Carter made it to 100.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago

True, and Betty White to 99, just a couple weeks plus change from her 100th.

They're very much the EXCEPTION rather than the rule, though..

"Only the good die young" logically implies that good people can live a long time, but bad people will never die young. A counterexample would be someone who was an absolute shitbag and also died young.

Statistically speaking some of those kids with cancer have to be assholes, right? Some of those assholes might turn out bad, if they lived.

I guess one could argue they weren't completely bad when they died since they were kids.

Jimmy "I invented the Contras and moved them posing as Red Cross" Carter?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

How many deaths do you think Jimmy was responsible for being a peanut farmer?
