That’s one tens.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

That's a sound check. There's no way they didn't even get a dozen Nazis to show up.

The matrix being absolutely right about the 2000s being the high water mark of American culture still feels me with angst

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the 2000s being the high water mark of American culture

I'm sorry, but no. You can't say anything before My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the high water mark. Gotta be at least 2010.

[–] justaman123@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Just to clarify I'm not saying the matrix was a high water mark. In that movie it literally said the 90-00s was the peak of humanity.

I was ten in 1976 and y’all would not believe what a coast to coast extreme party it was for the entire year. Drawers filled with souvenirs!! There was so much!

And now? This.

[–] Worstdriver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Same here. We Canadians partied right alongside you in 1976. It was awesome. I looked forward to the blast that America at 250 would be. What a sad waste of potential the US has become.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I fucking hate it. Facist, nazi, racist assholes ruin everything.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Nice, I was -9, but I'm so glad you guys had a good time. I imagine they handed out free money, groceries, and houses. Doctors just randomly circulated amongst the crowds checking people's health...

Most empires last about 250 years so this is fitting

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rome lasted a thousand years, and has become a benchmark for nationalist regimes that imagine they're ushering in a new golden age (right before they run out of money and attack Poland). NSDAP was notorious about aspiring to a thousand-year reich which they obviously did not achieve.

The US is making similar golden age noises.

Checking Wikipedia, the British empire was ~450 years, so I'd be interested in examples of ~250 year reigns.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Rome lasted a thousand years

Not true. Byzantium lasted a thousand years. The Roman empire lasted no more than 500.

As for the rest, well, fuck fascists.

I was stuck in a traffic jam just outside DC on 4 July 1976. At the time it was the second biggest traffic jam in US history (Woodstock was worse). We could see the fireworks in the distance.

Nobody does.

I know it's off topic, but I wish people would stop using Twitter. Nazi bar and all that.

[–] thecommonistagenda@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s kind of unbelievable to me that people are even able to still use it, it’s a complete slopfest. Everything good about old twitter is completely gone at this point

[–] justaman123@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It's crazy how little those good things meant to most people who were on twitter

Strong PC Principal vibes. Makes sense he turned into "Power Christian Principal" after the MAGA shake-up.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He didn't need to change his name. Being a Christofascist is what's politically correct now.

That's not the saddest mustache I've over seen, but it might be the ugliest.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 63 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hey, those 7 people are having a pretty OK time right there.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 36 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Four of those seven people are press covering the event.

Of the remaining three, two are die-hard MAGA enthusiasts getting high on hate, and the third is a dementia patient who has no idea where they are or who's on stage.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 days ago

Okay, and where is his security detail? Did he escape them again like he did in the roof?

As a musician, I always support other musicians, but I'll make an exception for MAGA musicians. You thought you'd get MAGA cred from the massive crowds, and it would be worth losing your fan base of decent, moral people.

Except there were no massive crowds, so all you did was lose whatever fan base you had.

MAGA entertainment is for losers.

[–] Heikki2@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Both of the security guards must have been challenged keeping all 7 people away from the stage

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He looks like he would play a pedophile in Reno 911

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago

Method acting.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Mmm, yeah, nah. This is undercommitment to the facial hair. He needs to either shave it off or go for broke and try for a beard. The hair on his scalp looks really good, but the facial hair makes his face look tiny and has the fullness of the early stages of trichotillomania – or of a chronically underwatered lawn.

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Close, but this is about the lawn reflected in the glasses I think

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It is. Doesn't stop me from appreciating how terribly his facial hair fits his face.

go for broke and try for a beard.

That's what he did. Look at that mustache, I'm female and I can grow a more mustache than this.

I'll be charitable. It's probably a technical rehearsal.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe. But the regime posted it as an example of how fun the event was. And they later took that specific photo down.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

for sure yeah. But it's still yet another of a million data points showing just how inauthentic every single goddamn thing coming from those people is.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days ago

New laws coming into effect banning the use of reflective glasses near any public event. They're dangerous.

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

This is probably mean but someone get this fool a mustache brush for the love of Jesus.
