It just doesn’t get much worse than this stance. The only way it gets worse is when they start saying they’re re-implementing indentured labour laws

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

You mean like they'll systematically target black people to send them to prison and then force them to do labor for slave wages?

[-] Creyapnilla@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but they won't be so sneaky about it.

[-] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Bro, it's been happening for decades already!

[-] Creyapnilla@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yes. That's what I was referring to. ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

There is no visible line… why not simply deny slavery and the holocaust as a hoax

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

As soon as the last person dies that might have personally met a camp survivor they will. They can’t deny the evidence that survivors bring to the table but once people can no longer point at grandma with the number tattooed on her arm, they’ll start playing it down more and more

I'm past it. My living philosophy now is nihilistic.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Naw friend, nihilism ain’t it, absurdism though, now that’s the way. This shit is entirely too ridiculous

You sure ‘bout that? I’m pretty sure he didn’t really bat an eye when slavery was in full swing, hell, if i remember right he actually endorsed it, as much as a fictional character can endorse anything.

Ahhh... The old "replace factual history with 'belief-ism'" tactic. What's the saying? "Those who don't read history are doomed to repeat it"

[-] DarkenLM@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago

It feels like 1984, unironically.

"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme a lot.

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

I can't imagine living with as much insecurity as conservatives face every day

It has to be a nightmare. Maybe that's why they so mad all the time at the sightest breeze of sanity

[-] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 21 points 1 year ago

When the only thing that keeps your marriage together is the church and the only thing that keeps you from liking the same sex is god, you keep on fighting.

Ok, so I know "retarded" is an offensive and outdated term, but I propose we redefine it as "being ignorant, knowing that you are, and stubbornly refusing to make any attempt to fix it".

Used in a sentence: Ron DeSantis is retarded.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Actively working to retard the progress of humanity as a whole, so maybe..retarder?

[-] gizmonicus@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Oh that's good. He's like a wet blanket for the fire of progress. That's also what I hear his wife says about him in bed. 🔥🔥

Hm if black people benefitted from slavery, why not reintroduce slavery then? And while you are at it, maybe white people want to benefit, too? Maybe DeSantis specifically could also benefit. Let's make him "benefit". /s

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Bring back? Slavery isn't gone. It's still allowed in the prison system.

I mean, has anyone really crunched the numbers on if that's possible? If not I say we look into it maybe.

Nature will have Florida covered.

[-] Pokethat@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

When you realize that Florida man can and does run for office 😵‍💫

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

Dear all those people that made this happen.

Fuck you.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in ~~Arizona~~ Alabama Bay.

I sure could use a vacation from this bullshit three ring circus sideshow.

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, they're the first state that'll be underwater from climate change and simultaneously one of the biggest deniers of it. No sawing required.

DeSaster once said that being woke means “war on truth” What the fuck do you call this then? Cuz this ain’t it, chief.

[-] _ak@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

The ironic thing is, we have a quasi-official definition of what "woke" means from one of DeSantis' goons:

https://www.fox13news.com/news/what-does-woke-mean-gov-desantis-officials-answer-during-andrew-warren-trial

The governor's general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them." He added that DeSantis doesn't believe there are systemic injustices in the country, reports Florida Politics.

[-] Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

I guess if that's the case reps can't complain about "welfare queens" Because systematic injustice isn't real

[-] Magzmak@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You sawed off too little keep going with Alabama and Missouri.
