Bait for Dems to keep them being losers

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 30 points 6 days ago

“we need to move right so we can lose millions of votes from young people to get a few thousand votes from ex slave owners from cuba who are dying age”

not like the democrat politicians care about anything anyway. republican policies benefit the donors who bribe both parties the same. amerikkka is so cooked. the only hope is that the hogs can’t afford their applebees anymore in coming years and it leads to revolt

It's kind of interesting how much better the world would be if all the "nightmarish" things CHUDs think about the world were actually true. Everything would be so much better if we lived in their worst nightmares. And yet, despite them "winning" they are still jumping at shadows over everything because the world being run by and for selfish, miserable short-sighted sadsacks is a miserable place.

(Apparently in the original context this is the punchline to "Imagine a world with no lawyers." I always wonder the underlying motivations behind that, though. Is it advocating that police be judge, jury, and executioner (even moreso, I mean)?)

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

remember, lawyers don't just defend, they prosecute

and trial law is a rather small amount of what many lawyers do. paperwork, counseling, negotiating, and patenting often consume large amounts of time. and that's not even counting that lawyers often don't just stay lawyers, they end up managers or politicians, positions that aren't exactly publicly popular.

lawyers write laws to keep job security for the profession. contrast with Cuba's recent family code that's iirc written in plain language anyone literate (i.e. all Cubans, suck it USA) can understand. also probably other laws of theirs.

The "lawyers are bad people" joke was a trope from the 80s to the 2000s. IIRC there's a citations-needed episode about how that kind of rhetoric was pushed by megacorps who wanted to discourage "frivolous lawsuits", like the woman who got 3rd degree burns from mcdonalds coffee.

there's been quite a few periods in time where lawyers were particularly unpopular and mocked. most of the people involved in Watergate were lawyers, so lawyers popularity dropped massively when that hit, and they were ridiculed by all kinds of media.

The way Springfield PD was depicted in the show, I doubt the creators held police in high regard

There's a barn near my house that the owner wrote a long sign on about how Biden is a communist and was going to make the US like China.

Every time I drove by, I thought "I wish he was the monster you think he is".

This is the biggest insult to Fidel I've felt in years.

Pffft he only survived like what? One assassination attempt? Rookie numbers no-choice

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago

I think Batista would be a better comparison, but they would take it as an endorsement.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 19 points 6 days ago

You never know. The one Cuban guy I know (85), hates Castro/Che/communism, despite the fact that he himself threw molotovs in the revolution. If I ask him if he liked Batista, he says "hell no!".

So universal healthcare?

/s

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 29 points 6 days ago

If the pedophilic dipshit truly was like Castro, all I know is Americans would have an actual universal healthcare.

Gusanos in their "find out" phase. Watch them go right back to backing conservatives who want nothing but to worsen conditions for everyone except the ruling class next time round

[–] GrafZahl@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

"I am a Marxist-Leninist and I will be one until the last day of my life." - Donald Trump (aka Fidel Castro)

"If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I wouldn't place." - Donald Trump (not Castro)

Gusanos: Elect the American version of Batista.

Also Gusanos: Oh my god, he's literally Castro!
