The only thing that's wrong with this is the socialist doesn't also have a gun

Or a molotov.

Well, judging by the symbol on its chest, they are DemSoc (not real socialist).

We don't know if this is the champagne region of France, so it could just be a sparkling Marxist.

You have no way of knowing that isn't Feni or Soju

He literally paid death squads in my country, that's more than 'disagree'

Liberals believe that the existence of nonwhites is up for debate

I'd tell you not to dox yourself but honestly that doesn't narrow it down that much.

Why don’t conservatives like Kissinger

[–] Hexbollah@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is mostly about how Liberals get upset with celebrating deaths of people with even if they "totally disagree with them and agree they were bad" like Kissinger or Rumsfeld or whoever. Not saying that conservatives are celebrating Kissinger in particular.

Though a minority of conservatives hate Kissinger out of a broader sense of isolationism or just anti-Semitism.

The difference between hating him for killing millions and hating him for being Jewish is so profound that it warrants some reflection.

Well, I can excuse killing millions, but

Kissinger was right to do that, but

Kissinger didn't kill enough because

Regardless of that, he's

[–] mittens@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

he's jewish

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

It's a split thing. I was taught my antiwar principals by MTG type mincap Dad. He hated Kissinger for being the biggest dealer of death in modern history. I'd expect the crunchy/conspiracy conservatives to hate Kissinger.

The meme is more generic. It says "politican you didn't like"

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I celebrate a shitty person's death like I celebrate taking a knife out of my back - I'm ultimately glad it happened, but the fact that we reached this point at all is a shitty and sombre affair.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Liberals takes these positions because they fully believe that it makes them more evolved and wiser. Infantilizing people they disagree with is a favorite of theirs for this exact reason.

In Book XXII of the Odyssey, Odysseus has just finished massacring the suitors and is "in the thick of slaughtered corpses, splattered with bloody filth like a lion that's devoured some ox of the field and lopes home, covered with blood." His old nursemaid looks upon the carnage - the deaths of the men who've made her life hell for years - and lets out a cry of triumph. Odysseus admonishes her, "No cries of triumph now. It's unholy to glory over the bodies of the dead."

Then he asks her to find all of the maids (i.e., the slaves) in the household who slept with the suitors over the years, so he can have them hanged.

(Quotes are from the Robert Fagles translation, but the lines are different in the Greek; there the center of the scene is at XXII.415.)
