Who assumed the crown after Freddy?

I didn't know anyone had been crowded since Prince died.

I heard he was teaming up with the hacker known as "4chan"

[–] arararagi@ani.social 1 points 3 hours ago

I heard that hacker uses steroids!

It's good to see more trumpian competence in action...

Twenty-nine year old Chandler Patey has been regularly protesting outside his local ICE facility in South Portland for months, offering up his apartment to fellow protesters to use the bathroom or wash off pepper spray, according to local news.

To the Department of Homeland Security, “he is the leader of Antifa in Portland, OR.”

Elementary my dear epstein.

BTW, sounds like a fucking legend. I hope I am so good when the bullshit arrives where I am.

Wow what a terrorist! When other citizens walk in with pepper spray on them he lets them wash it off?

I bet he and his co-conspirators were involved with the undcheduled shut down of the Orphan Crushing Machine too!

I can tell you for certain that dude won’t be experiencing “the male loneliness epidemic”

*Johnathan Tifa

Edit: came back from the article, his second name is actually Jonathan lol. He must be the son of our former legendary leader Mary Ann Tifa.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 9 points 15 hours ago

Is he related to Tifa Lockhart?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 17 points 13 hours ago

Wrong, it's not a man. It's my Aunt Tifa. FFS

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago

No, they got it wrong. It was me! I am the leader! Don't believe the feds, those lying pigs.

When the leader of a group of anti-fascists becomes the bad guy. American world war 2 soldiers who died on the battlefield must be turning in their graves

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 11 points 15 hours ago

Read it as burning in their graves. Still made sense.

Just like they identified Tylenol is the cause of autism…

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I mean, they gotta figure out some way to blame the mom before Baron gets diagnosed.

[–] manniesalado@piefed.social 17 points 15 hours ago

I feel so sorry for the Yanks having to live through this Trumpian nightmare.

[–] furzegulo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

I guess it's over then 😟

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 32 points 17 hours ago

Not yet, he's friend with l33t hax0r and the Anonymous man.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 16 points 17 hours ago

They've got em. Our most closely hidden secret leader. What will the cabal do without him?

[–] DrYes@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

better send Kyle Reetenhouse back in time

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 11 hours ago

Too bad they miss the current leader of Pedos our commander and cheeto.

[–] verdi@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 29 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I see they follow the gestapo playbook. Why use the legal system when you can just say "belongs to terrorist org" and snag whoever you want off the street. 

[–] ServantOfRa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 16 hours ago

I mean, that's one step too many.

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 20 points 16 hours ago

As yes, the infamous antifa obersturmführer

I still put on my resume that I'm the 2006 Time Person of the Year

[–] Focal@pawb.social 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I really read this as inspirational and cool once upon a time. Part of me still does. There's a lot of good we've done on social media that make my trans friends and family more safe in who they are, broadly speaking...

But there's also a whole lotta bad as well, and it's been increasingly less OUR internet as the tech companies just monopolize and censor and steal data.

I'm not so sure I can manage to find this time mag cover as inspirational anymore.

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

it was a different time. aspirational and naive.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 11 hours ago

I can assure we some of us were not optimistic.

[–] Focal@pawb.social 3 points 12 hours ago

Naive is probably the exact word for the feeling I have. Good pick
