GhostFence[Politics] Have phobia, will travel
Little did they expect the black, trans Muslim who’s also a Chinese citizen. Panic grips the RNC.
This person chooses to support Donald Trump, and they’re temporarily okay
This comment made me wonder what happened to Caitlyn Jenner.
DocMcStuffinYou got me curious enough to look and what a shitshow of a person working against their own self-interests. She’s a good candidate for [email protected].
Aaaannnnd she’s already there, lol.

LOL didn’t see that coming! /jk
Ann ArchyAre you kidding? That is old hate, we need fresh hate every cycle, just like we need ever new colors of Gatorade. Otherwise people won’t buy it.
Ah yes, the shitpost meme community, that’s exactly where I should post my very deep, thought provoking political content
FischIn case you didn’t know, political jokes are a thing and they’re not that rare
I know what a political joke is, and most people don’t go to shitpost communities to find them
What about a picture of Trump edited so his face looks reaaaaaaaaally small
Now THAT is epic 😎
This is provoking thoughts for you?
pacologyWill 2024 be old people?
No, because they will get old.
Sorta. I mean, I turn 65 years old this year. Is that too old to be allowed to live? It seems like it. To think I was a kid when they first landed on the moon. And I was a kid when the "beatles" were just a bunch of kids from England. And computers were twelve banks of flashing lights that took up an entire building just to do basic math problems.
Have we forgotten they wanted to sacrifice the old people to save the economy during covid.
With privatization of Medicare coming if Trumpert and company win they are STILL willing to sacrifice the old.
Other old people...they get free top notch healthcare for life while saying healthcare isn't a right
More likely DEI. (Blacks, again.)
It’s already mexicans
Nah, too many of their voters are old people.
theodewerethe Big Bad Border is coming to get "conservative" cowards
And that's another thing! (Climbing back up on the Tide XK soap box). I don't see migrants coming in doing horrible things like putting razor wire around OUR kids. Yes I know there are bad apples in every group, but by far the people doing the threatening and putting forth the hate are on OUR SIDE of the border. We're locked in here with the crazies!!!!
I’d rather have those immigrants than Republicans.
Yeah it's always the same. In Utah this past week, the passed a law to disallow trans people from using public bathrooms. I mean,t here's probably TWO trans people in the whole state. Now, one of the women on our Board of Education is in trouble for harrassing a student over possibly being trans (the student isn't trans, she just thought she might be).
What the FUCK is the problem? I've never seen trans people be a threat to ANYBODY ANYWHERE - yet, white moronic privileged idiots are threatening all of us with blocking all of our basic rights to exist. It seems to me the real threat to humanity is wherever bigoted white people gather together.
Nikkiwe aren’t “normal” so their little brains must listen to the propaganda machine and aid in our erasure
little do they know the revolution will be won in thigh highs
Hmm, I hope fishnet stockings are OK, I don't have thigh highs. I may not win the revolution, but I'll certainly redefine the word 'revolting' in a lot of people's minds.... : /
What the FUCK is the problem?
They invent what they need to hate.
There should be around 30,000 trans people in Utah based on general population.
Did you account for persecution?
No. I read somewhere trans people make up roughly 1% of a given population, I think that number was from a time with higher persecution, because in some places the numbers are higher AFAIK.
It’s not just white people but I get what you mean. So much of politics is performative/culture wars. What always irks me is that behind closed doors some of them are gay or have had abortions privately or something else but they go on acting as though it’s the end of the world publicly.
Lack of exposure to trans people makes it easier not to see them as human.
From the party that screams and whines about how everyone else is taking their freedoms, they sure do love to to take away everyone else's freedoms
The secret ingredient is 24/7 propaganda.
I can probably make you hate basically anything I like if I can get a 24/7 stream straight into your earcanal. You are just as susceptible as anyone else, and you likely hold beliefs right now that came from some of the very same outlets. Just as hard a time as you have seeing that this is the actual case, is just as hard as the people believing this fringe shit right here.
IninewCrowFor a party that thinks itself as a pillar of strength and power … they sure do spend a lot of their time in perpetual fear.
Discovery was IMHO the most inferior Star Trek, but they nailed this idea when they described the Terran empire. This strong, incontrovertibly evil, imperial monster was born of, and lives on fear. A version of humanity that gave up on trust or hope and became the worst version of themselves.
Wait I *loved *Discovery…
I felt it was leaning too hard into the grimdark and action for my liking. But that’s just my opinion, and there’s lots of room for taste. My husband’s favorite is Voyager and I think that one is less well regardless so to reach thier own.
Hey, Voyager was my second most favorite!
Star Trek, unlike a lot of franchises, has a lot of allowance for taste while still being generally good. I think that’s part of its charm.
I feel the community is split between Voyager and DS9
And of things normal people can’t associate with being scary. I think that’s why everyone’s struggling to guess what’s next. What random thing will strike fear into them next? Birds? Greeks? Furniture that isn’t wood? Children’s book- oh, we had that one.
This chart’s not wrong but I’d posit ‘muslims’ have been an easy go-to since 9/11.
TurtleJoeYeah, there’s usually more than one of these going on at once. Makes it easier to pivot if they get called out for it being nonsense.
There’s always an element of racism running as an undercurrent, so you can pick your Boogeyman du jour, be it Muslims/Arabs (they don’t differentiate,) central/south American immigrants, black lives matter, CRT, DEI, etc.
Then you can add some kind baseless moral outrage on top. Trans people existing, gay people wanting to get married, satanic panic, etc.
It’s really like a fear cake, I guess.
Yeah, there’s usually more than one of these going on at once. Makes it easier to pivot if they get called out for it being nonsense.
Truer things were rarely said.
ObiniceDon’t forget the “small boats crisis”, that’s the conservatives in a nutshell right now :-(
I don’t consider this a shitpost.
Flying SquidI’ve been thinking about it and it doesn’t really qualify as a shitpost to me either, but I’m going to let it stay for now unless it turns into a complete clusterfuck. @[email protected], this isn’t really in the spirit of this community. A list of people Conservatives have fearmongered with isn’t especially amusing, which is kind of the point around here.
Understood!
One thing I wish would have died with Reddit is this adamant OCD of “putting everything exactly where it belongs, and only one time until the end of time”. What if a post is both “wtf” and “shitpost” at the same time? You wouldn’t be able to post it to either because both would theoretically reject it as not belonging there. It would be trivial to find a reason for every single post made to this sublemmy to be removed because it violated some minute nuance of some kind of Platonic ideal form of “shitpost”.
Anyone who has ever tried to micro-organize a whole ocean of things ranging from files on a HDD to the complete stock of a supermarket will know being rigidly committed to a strict definition based structure is unfeasible and a completely non-working model.
I think it is pretty implicit that a post in this community should strive to have a level of amusement. I sure don’t find this post amusing, do you? It’s far too accurate and disgusting to be amusing.
People do not come to Lemmy Shitpost to get pissed off. That’s pretty much the opposite of why people come here.
First off you are just avoiding answering the actual points.
Secondly, you are illustrating the very issue with your answer. Let’s say I disagree. I might not, actually, but let’s say. Is there really an objective end to the discussion, or does it all just come down to personal preference? How many users have we got here, a couple of thousand? We are all going to disagree on the details, always.
My point is that it’s a shit system, and only encourages this type of nonsense argumentation in the comments of whether something belongs in the red box or in the blue box.
Please explain why you think people want to be pissed off when they come to Lemmy Shitpost.
Please address the issues I outlined.
Nope. I’m not interested in your issues. And if you have an issue with my moderation, please take it up with the Lemmy.world admins. You can find a list of their names in the sidebar on Lemmy.world’s front page.
Also, I’m sorry you find my polite request to please avoid posting this sort of thing in Lemmy Shitpost in future so unreasonable. OP seemed fine with my request.
Well I’m not interested in your fucking issue, and don’t tell me to go talk to your mum about it. The fuck do you think you are? I was the one proposing an argument, and you were the buttstuck child. You know it, I know it. Now go ahead and ban me, you CLASSIC reddit mod.
Nope. I won’t ban you, I’ll just stop replying to you after this.
However, if I see you talking to a regular user of the community like this, you will be banned for violating community rule 1 as stated in the sidebar:
Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.
Refrain from being argumentative when responding or commenting to posts/replies. Personal attacks are not welcome here.
Again, please feel free to contact Lemmy admin if you have any issues with my moderation.
Have good Sunday.
You too, dumb dumb. Stay in school, one day you may have something of value to say.
