Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Piefed.social rules

Being anti Zionist on the other hand, is just being pro humanity

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 49 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Pro-anti-Zionist

Ethnostates are so 1920s

Where do you stand on the laws of thermodynamics?

What's the house policy on incompetence?

Historically speaking, the so-called 'pro-competence' crowd have been big into writing hagiographies, handing out posh medals, and wearing "We're #1" novelty foam hands. It's this kind of behavior that leads to half-baked conspiracy theories.

There is a big opening for a 'pro-incompetence' movement to come in, clean house, and advocate for what REALLY happened.

hagiographies

Congratulations, it's been a while since I learned a new word. Or my memory is just horrible nowadays and I don't remember due to the copious amount of weed I consume.

Anyhow. Thanks. TIL

And still he joined the GOP.

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 77 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

In his (admittedly limited) defense, he joined the GOP in a very different time. He's still filled with free market delusions, but he's a pre-Reagan Republican, and has never supported Trump.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

He's definitely a mixed bag.

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 59 points 18 hours ago

He seems like a normal, flawed person. Not like "racist grandpa" normal, but like, "favorite uncle who is just a bit behind the times" normal

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

He still signed death warrants.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 14 points 18 hours ago

No, that was Jean-Claude Van Damme

[–] Sumocat@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

He was inspired by Nixon. I wish more Republicans would be inspired by Nixon and leave office.

Capitalism is alive and well and I think it runs on hate. Checkmate Arnold.

[–] Man_kind@sh.itjust.works 10 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

The reason history is like that, is because smart people are peaceful. They are wise. The violent emotional hateful greedy people are the idiots.

The idiots sometimes get a lot of power, and spread hate, and chase wealth and power with force.

This forces the smart people to become fighters as well. So they put all their brains into defeating the hateful assholes responsible for war.

And of course, they are good at it. Because they are smart.

There's nothing simple about it. Trust me. There's a lot of smart people just trying to lice their lives that will be forced into focusing on fighting tyranny.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

I agree it's somewhat like this, but as PJ said, it's a little less simple than that.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Please define how you are using the word smart because I don't think you mean intelligent.

Intelligent people are just as horrible as the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet.

Humans, en masse, are fucking horrible to each other while paradoxically thinking they are saints

Stop contrdicting yourself Arnold.

This hypocrite pos with Dawayne Johnson and other Hollywood asshats are paid Zionists who love ethno supremacy and have defended genocidal aparthied israel for years. The fuck are you talking about anti-semites and nazis while doing exactly what the nazis did

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Arnie has spoke out in favor of a Palestinian state and put significant blame on Israel for the continuing conflict.

That's milquetoast on the Fediverse, where anything less than anti-Zionism is full-throated support for the genocide of Palestinians; but in the USA, that's a serious departure from the positions normalized by Israeli PR here.

Do you want me to spam tens of video footage of him visiting Israel, condeming Hamas and for more than 2 years saying return the susages while 70k+ get genocided? Arnold is blinded by his love of ethno supremacy. Either that or he is a shill whose morales are for sale. If you pay him, he becomes a toilet that regurgitates whatever shit you tell him to like almost all of Hollywood

Look he's been doing it for decades lol:

Saying "I'm a friend to Israel" and meeting with Israelis who had family taken as hostages to deliver a generic speech about keeping hope for their return and refusing hate?

... that's really what you're worked up over.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world -3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Yes you cannot be "Friends of an ethno supremacist genocidal aparthied" and against racial hatered in the same time! Is that a hard concept?

Did you see him in the clip visiting and supporting the IOF and Israel for DECADES like a brainless pawn?

He's been supporting an ethno supramciat settler-colonial aparthied for decades. That literally means he cannot pretend to advocate against anti-racial hatered aka against anti-semitism. There was already 10000+ palestinian hostages kidnapped by IOF before Oct-7, and Gaza has been bombed and besiged for decades. You cant be friends with that

Stop playing this mental gymansim. He is either a nazi supporter, or a scummy lowlife shill whose morales are for sale. There is no choice #3 here. You cant be against anti-semitism, and pro ethno surpremacy and settler-colonial aparthied that cages, starves and bombs people in open-air prison just because they are from different race.

He puts so many anti-zionism Jews to shame. He's no Dave Smith.. He's no Katie Halper, He's no Norm Franksltien.. FFS call this holloywood zionist shill for who he is.
