Fired... randomly punched... I don't talk to Nazis.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice, but it's a bit sad that fighting nazis is relegated to a mere meme.

[–] ShooBoo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In the 80's we did it on sight. No talking just fighting. I think we did a good job of pushing them back in their holes for a while... but like roaches they always come back if you don't keep them in check. And NOBODY is keeping them in check these days.

Philly kept them in check lol. Chased them right back into their rented UHaul.

Why did I sing it out loud to see it matches with the tune

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

'cos it's fucking brilliant?

The schizos from le reddit have arrived, take your meds

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The Nazis from Nazi land have arived, load your guns.

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is some boomer tier cringe.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Your first comment here was about denying climate change. I see you are continuing to contribute hot takes to this community.

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What are you following me? Lil bro is unhinged

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You've made like a dozen comments with your account and most of them are embarrassing. Not a lot to review there. Trash comments from someone with trash opinions

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

Sorry they don’t get your approval pookums.

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol you're so stupid you don't understand that nobody is "following" you, they just checked your post history

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

Dude replied to me a couple weeks ago too. Maybe lemmy is small. Maybe he’s an unhinged loser. Probably both.

[–] FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I knew without checking you are a Biden-hating right-wing Nazi-feeling-protector.

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Look at the dipshit's post history. He's a hateful, ignorant, climate change denying garbage monster.

[–] neonfire@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

you said without checking, but to know you checked? I don't agree with their hate/ignorance/etc but they're definitely right about this dumb fucking meme. Not only do I disagree that everyone at Jan 6 was a Nazi (moreso just an idiot who dislikes 'libruls', which to me is not close to even the neonazi ideology), this meme uses stupid song parody, the dumb clapping emoji, and just seems akin to smelling their own farts. It's not going to convince anyone about anything, and isn't really an 'own', even compared to the generic dem-friendly take downs of DS era Jon Stewart. It's just weak and cringe inducing. It's 100% on the level of weak-ass boomer FB memes.

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You can’t criticize anything vaguely left wing around here apparently. Just because I didn’t slobber Biden’s knob and said the economy still kinda sucks, I’m a right wing nazi.

What a fucking joke this dump is.

[–] catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Tyke@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

😭 <-- my impression of you. Pretty good right?

[–] icydefiance@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, you're a Nazi because you get really upset when people criticize Nazis.

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Laughing at a cringey meme than some 50 year old mom on Facebook would like means that to you?

Ok bird brain

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm curious how old you are. You know that 50 year olds are firmly gen X, right?

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Boomer just means people older than me now

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You're all over this thread like it's a cock and your job is to suck it.

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Pretty homophobic comment bro

[–] Tyke@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

I hate Biden but I’m not right wing. I hate them too.

[–] Bigdude1420@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Just don't complain if you get fired for being at a BLM protest/rally. Not a Nazi, but historically this tends to go both ways.

[–] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Fuck that shit. It is based and morally good to go to a BLM rally. They are peaceful and just. If you get fired for that you better complain.

Only a Nazi would fire someone attending a BLM protest. Cut your false equivalence.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

I would be more likely to quit long before I was fired if I was aware my employer was against BLM.

[–] halvar@lemm.ee -5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If you use your freedom of expression and your fired it's your fault? I really don't want to play devil's advocate, but if you don't break any laws (including not using banned symbols) you shouldn't be punished. Of course the moment you attack someone or something like that you should be.

[–] MaximumOverflow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then you fundamentally don't understand what "freedom of speech" means. It means that you're allowed to say what you want without the government stopping you or punishing you. It doesn't mean there won't be consequences for what you say or do, as there should.

It's always been like this. Even in the 80s you could say what you wanted, but you were expected to know and accept that, socially, there would be consequences. It's only recently that this stupid idea of giving everyone a free pass to say and do whatever they like, no matter how hateful or asinine it is, came around, and it's not helping anyone.

If you're a Nazi and people and employers decide they don't want anything to do with you, then it's not their fault, it's yours. "But who are you to decide who's right and who's wrong?" moralists will say, as if a history of oppression and genocide wasn't enough to determine such an ideology is wrong.

[–] Derproid@lemm.ee -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Freedom of Speech is a concept that exists outside the US Constitution.

Edit: Why am I being downvoted? God this place is just like Reddit in some ways.

[–] MaximumOverflow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

You're being downvoted because you're trying to be clever, yet your comment makes absolutely no sense, nor contributes to the conversation. It's literally described in the first amendment and many more state and federal laws. But let's pretend it wasn't, since the definition is vague. It is indeed mostly a social construct. There are still going to be consequences, just not legally. That shouldn't change and people shouldn't expect it to change, otherwise the world will become even more of a shithole than it already is.

[–] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Sure. But not outside the social contract

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

If we weren't talking about a hate group that openly and emphatically talks about how they want to kill minorities and subverts legal systems to deny women and minorities their rights, among other things, I would agree with you. But we are, so they got to go, yesterday.

[–] YooBitches@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You just need to remember that your speech can have consequences. You can speak alright, nobody is saying you can't but the things you speak can have effect on your social status and the way other people see you. So you can say whatever you want but based on what you say other people may and will judge you and you have to accept that. If you can't accept that then speak within your group of people who have similar views or live separately from other people. Or brainwash all other people to accept your view.
