That Hitchcock meme is great! But for anyone else who wanted it to be real - it was originally a cure for insomnia, not fascism.

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Plus Hitchcock was an abusive fuck, especially towards women, and he had a movie that was considered positive about the Nazis by some, but later shot a documentary about the Holocaust that wasn't released until 2014, and two anti-Nazi propaganda films that weren't released until 1994.

My great grandfather used to drop 500lb bombs on them. It was super effective.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your great grandfather sounds incredibly based!

Mine had the dubious honors of smuggling booze as an early teen, and allegedly helped popularize deposit fees because he would rent all the major party halls in his city, and then cancel all but one, ensuring he ran the only big party in town on a given weekend.

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That sounds like the sort of thing my paternal grandad would do.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

My grandfather helped your grandfather by going up in untested fighter planes with the pilots and checking to make sure none of the bolts were loose.

He was also an air raid warden in London, meaning he was out on the streets getting people to safety while the bombs were dropping.

I wish I had an ounce of that man's courage... although, being both Jewish and German, he knew exactly what had to be stopped.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If your great grandfather is a Soldier type he will deal an additional STAB damage as well.

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He started off as Infantry sent to Gallipoli, then joined the Australian Flying corps and flew over Ypre and the Somme. After the end of WW1 he joined the RAF and flew medium bombers over Europe during WW2.

I just remember him as a kind old man that loved me.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He did that to protect the one he loved! Fuck the facist that throw the world into chaos back then.

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

At least the originals could honestly say that they didn't know how far it would be taken. Modern Nazis know exactly where this shit goes.

I think your great grandfather might have killed mine. I’m totally OK with this.

[–] Powerpoint@lemmy.ca 64 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Conservative followers don't realize they are becoming fascists. It's sad to watch and no conversation helps them.

Unfortunately. She literally rammed her car into another car allegedly just because they made her mad. She had serious mental health issues, and it's horrible that she died, but the same people don't care when it isn't one of "theirs." They'll make excuses for police violence in every case except where it was almost the only logical choice for said agent. Like what was he supposed to do? Some of those people were actually armed despite lies to the contrary. I'd be shitting my pants if the MAGA mob were making my work day that bad. What did they expect? I thought the Capitol police were absolutely incredibly soft and very very professional.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I talk to people online who hate immigrants because they are ‘ruining their town’ and they want to make sure their town is ‘kept in their hands’ and when I call them racist for saying that an African shop hand is incompetent because they can’t speak English they can’t accept it.

They don’t see themselves as racist, sexist, homophobic or fascist.

They’ve unhinged from reality.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

"Becoming" hahaha that is a good one mate! Good laugh, have a pint on me.

[–] OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Doesn't 'homeopathic' mean it's massively dilluted to the point where there's none of the original ingredients?

Or am I missing the joke here?

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah, you're right but many people just take it to mean "alternative medicine", I think

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I think the joke is that the bullet is smaller than the baseball bat.

But since it's also far more powerful, the joke doesn't really work for me.

[–] Happybara@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

"A system for treating disease based on the administration of minute doses of a drug that in massive amounts produces symptoms in healthy individuals similar to those of the disease itself. "

I believe the bullet is supposed to be the minute dose and shooting all the fascists would count as administering the dose in massive amounts. They could also just be saying it's a homebrew cure since most of my fellow Americans have guns and like to talk about them using them liberally.

www.howdoeshomeopathywork.com

Somehow this website is still waiting for an update.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 4 points 1 year ago

Damn. I check that and this website pretty regularly just to see if I need to drastically change my lifestyle that day and so far I have no reason to change.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Here's a great resource on how homeopathy really works.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

On a tangential note, I am amazed that even in homeopathy there are ones who believe it and ones that are outright scammers. What I mean is that some homeopathic (sic!) "drugs" are made out of non-existent ingredients diluted into non-existence even more. To be a quadratic scam seems like an impressive achievement to me

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

It is all about dilution AND succussion. The shaking is what makes it powerful, that and magical thinking.

Ah yes, good old fashioned lead therapy. For fascism I recommend at least 9mm.

I find even simple gardening tools will do for the DIY-selfer.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apply garden hose through the mouth into the throat. Open tap wide. Keep running for 5-10min.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

While effective, this strategy has been proven untenable in the battlefield due to logistical constraints.

[–] markon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just hope violence is kept at a minimum. Most of the people where I live are Trumpies (well the older crowd especially) and they truly are just totally oblivious. They certainly aren't evil. It's so unfortunate because these are people I'd say are good people. They've never killed or directly harmed a soul to my knowledge. I just hope if there's violence that it's targeted top heavy because we all know who the problem(s) are and they could probably be counted by any tally counter that goes to 1k. AKA don't focus on the manipulated, focus on the manipulator(s).

Please note this is in no way condoning any violence outside of Minecraft

[–] Crass_Spektakel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

This is exactly how it started in Germany in the 1930ths:

Old people dreaming of the Empire - which by the way did very little for them - and not really into politics. They just wanted a change.

And then voted for their own hangman.

Best argument a relative told me why he voted for Hitler: "I thought he was a funny guy with excellent dark humor. I didn't knew he wasn't joking."

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago

Not directly harming people doesn't make you good or innocent. Hiring someone or enabling someone else to do your evil for you is still doing evil. It may be excusable to say that the first time they voted for Trump, it was an accident. They thought he would disrupt Washington but was essentially no worse than the rest of the politicians. After that, they would have to purposefully ignore everything that he has done. At this point they have seen the true face of Trump and they're still choosing evil.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Homeocidal.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is why we're fucked. The only tool to fight violent fascists is more violence. That's why I'm looking into relocating to another country. USA is brimming with violent assholes who can't wait for an opportunity to lash out.

[–] TengoDosVacas@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

And everyone here acts like a pussy about it and thinks fascists wont be mean if we're just nicer to them. 80% or more of this site's users are gonna wind up in the box car
