Never believe fascists are operating in good faith. That's why they're immune to pointing out hypocrisy; they just straight up don't fucking care because, yes, exactly, you should have rules and I shouldn't because that's what I want.

The point of pointing out the hypocrisy isn't to get them to change, but to try to get someone in their thrall to realize they've been duped. Nazis are at the end of the day scammers.

I dunno, man, the maga people I know see the scam and they're 100% invested in it. The only one I know that has fallen out is an army guy who's a big constitution fan and sees where Trump is heading. He's still a Republican, but MAGA left him behind.

I hear you. I don't invest much time in pointing out the hypocrisy. I'm mostly focused on positive messaging about what the left actually is compared to what they've been told we are

I'm writing a key for those who don't get what's so fancy about four numbers

86 = 8 miles out and 6 feet under, I believe from Las Vegas gang slang. Where to bury the guy that cheats your casino.
46 = USA President no. 46, Joe Biden
47 = USA President no. 47, Donald Trump

Put them together and you have a code that incites violence/murder of the mentioned US President.

Edit: Fuck, the Vegas origin is a myth.

Whoa. I like the energy, but 86 is a kitchen term for an item no longer being available.

86 in this case is generally agreed to mean "no more"

Rhyming slang making people completely lose their minds trying to figure out it's origin(which is the intention in the first place) and diner lingo. I love it.

Order of burn the British with axle grease, rollers and a blond 86 the sand.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Here, have an article with about a dozen different possible origins for the expression to 86 someone or something. Btw, none of them have to do with killing anyone.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Yep, 86 just means to throw it out. It's old garbage, no one wants that.

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Acts so tough about being shot in the head but is afraid of four numbers in a tweet.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Here's a fun idea, call 47 for 47.

explanationFor those that don't get it, Hitman's protagonist is Agent 47

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

What about 8645?

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

Stick it up mista! Get your hands up in the air sir!

Also Comey was just observing with a picture and documenting public sentiment. Jack Poso, well, just said it directly.

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

That’s probably that dumb motherfuckers credit card pin.
