Internal monologue: "I'm scared of them because they are cooler than me, and maybe even smarter."

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 67 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe smarter? The average one brain cell orange cat is smarter than this guy.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 28 points 2 weeks ago

Keep in mind, it's his words in his head. Of course he thinks HE is smart.

I would guess that it's more because there are three people in the shot and they are all young women, and two of those young women look slightly different than the OP wants them to look (one has dyed hair and one has a scarf).

Youth parliament, model UN, all those places, they have always been great places to meet smart girls. Just wish teenage me had just a little more game.

IME theater is often where the cute (but often vapid / overly ambitious in a bad way) girls are (some smart ones behind the scenes tho)

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 43 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you replace "woke" with "human rights", you understand what these people are talking about.

These people hate basic human right.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They hate freedom of expression and want everyone to live how they demand.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Literally these people think freedom of expression equals with buying Levis jeans and Adidas shoes, because they heard they were hard to come by in the Soviet Bloc.

Young person has eccentric dress sense.

Right wing chud, catatonic with rage: "WE NEED TO MAKE THIS ILLEGAL".

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

i like saying that history doesn't repeat, it rhymes...

but bloody hell, this is literally the exact same thing we get every single generation

"those young people, completely indecent, just look at the way they dress! their hair! the music they listen to! this technology they use! what will become of them. When i was young i was perfectly obedient and listened to my elders." you could attritbute that sentence to any era of human history and you'll be correct, literally all the way back to the beginning of written history this rings true

Socrates complained about how the youths depend on paper and books too much. And since then little has changed but the exact thing the olds complain about

What kind of absolute fucking loser forges their entire identity around not liking other people's fashion choices?

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago

The type of authoritarian who loses his shit over dyed hair and demands it be illegal

Dyed hair... ankh... fashion conscious business attire...

I for one welcome our new Goth representation in government. We need more of this.

Psych: "Ok so you're here because *checks notes* digestive on twitter didn't like the outfit you wore at the Youth parliament."

Girl: "Yes."

Psych: "Well that's not an illness so..."

Charlie Simp: "STOP RIGHT THERE, I SENT HER HERE SO YOU CAN FIX HER!"

Psych: "Fix her?"

Charlie Simp: "MAKE HER NORMAL!!!"

Psych: "Normal how."

Simp: "Make her look and act like how I demand people do! You know, long hair, normal make up, normal fashion..."

Psych: "So remove all individuality from her?"

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago

Charlie Simp: "STOP RIGHT THERE, I SENT HER HERE SO YOU CAN FIX HER!"

Psych: you want a session here?

[–] Noobnarski@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe he has had all individuality removed and now he cannot understand why anyone would have it.

I think the issue is that young lady with the headscarf. The poster is just trying to pretend it’s about hair colour, but it’s about skin colour

[–] mr_account@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Tweet by Charlie Simp, huh?🤔

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 15 points 2 weeks ago

Great insights there from "Charlie Simp"

Obviously in training to suck up to Farage and his ilk. Fortunately I've never heard of him before so he's obviously not very good at it.

[–] Tetragrade@leminal.space 14 points 2 weeks ago

Drip too hard

[–] riskable@programming.dev 14 points 2 weeks ago

A normal person sees cool hair but a conservative is only seeing red.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I lived in Wales for a year a few years back. Actually colored hair was way more common over there when I was there. Even in older adults.

Had teachers with pink hair in their 60s.

Tattoos also more common. I recall one of the professors lookee like a Goth girl. She also gave me mediocre grades on everything I submitted to her. 😅

Septum piercing. Always wore black. And long jet black hair. She also told us how to pirate research papers and textbooks on day one. In a power point.

Idk. The culture there was just more chill about alternative style. At least while I was there.

I was in Swansea.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 2 weeks ago

I submitted to her

Should've domned her instead

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

maybe it's Wales, maybe it's just academia. smart people are usually capable of figuring out that self expression no matter how eccentric is harmless and simply brings colour to the world

I fucking love seeing women with partially dyed hair. YOU GO GIRL!

I know very little of UK politics, what is that group for/against?

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 21 points 2 weeks ago (8 children)

It's essentially a model parliament, but one that gets contact with the actual government. Under-18s fight for election and hold debates in the same manner as the House of Commons

No, I have absolutely no idea how this makes it "woke" beyond that some people just use the word to mean "thing I don't like"

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Fascists don't like democracy, probably. Especially not for women and minorities.

Why are they always so terrified of hair dye?

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why? Its just a picture, what did she say?

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter what she said, they hate her for her appearance. Plus there's nothing more dangerous than a young person engaged in politics like this.

I used to be a part of the UK Youth Parliament, and whilst there were a decent number of Tories, I never met someone who was a part of UKIP. The young people who support UKIP/Reform are a completelt different archetype

they talked about climate change and how the people in power don't do anything to stop it iirc

Anyone have the speech that person made that has the tweeter so mad?

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

I'm summarising, but I bet it went along the lines of

  • "be nice to people"
  • "everyone deserves to live and enjoy some modern comforts"
  • "maybe we shouldn't destroy the planet we live on"

You know... Real sick shit
