These guys love buying dildos

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I wonder how much of their budget is allocated for sex toys? Or do they just love their work so much they are happy to use their personal stash?

The pedophile class defending thug caste leveraging dildos in the war against normal people is EXACTLY the kind of tactics I would expect from the militant christian evangelicals.

Look at their leader. What sickos.

It's a "family values" thing.

[–] EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

When you are a regular customer/wholesale buyer, you get a discount 😉

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

They hire new ones all the time!

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dildos are expensive too, though I imagine they're buying the cheap toys from the Rite Aid adult section. Call me when they're leaving $250+ custom poured fantasy dicks

yes please let us take America back again all the way to the Native Americans who should have been running it they can have it

in Oklahoma where stay at they have helped clean up the land and have pushed for better laws/policies that everyone benefits from

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Yes. The worst thing to happen to America isn't Trump, it's Europeans.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But isn’t Trump the product of Euro-American society (or roughly half)?

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yes but that is one branch of the entire tree. No need to chop the whole tree, just maybe that branch.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

America as a country, Trump, Northern America as a continent, probably just France, England, Portugal, Spain, and maybe the Dutch. There might be a conquering genocidal power I forgot, but close enough. I think it's important to be precise when assigning blame, let's leave the Balkans and Baltics out of this lol. Still, very correct.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

You’re right to be precise. But I also think of people who followed, like from my country (Ireland). Some were destitute, but many have done some pretty vile stuff either against minorities or in support of the empire. So while the Irish state wasn’t technically involved, the people don’t exactly go there to lift up Native or African Americans. There’s a book called How the Irish Became White that explores this. And I know the Scottish are famous for their part in Empire too.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're absolutely correct. I more meant to refer to the countries that had absolutely nothing to do with it. Like, Lithuanians didn't do anything afaik. I think that much of that has to do with the lack of power of their government and ability of the populace to leave than virtue on their end. Plenty of people would've done horrible things if they could've, far more wouldn't have helped the people being genocided. It's all shitty. Germany and Italy would've colonized Africa more if they were more powerful during the scramble for Africa, they would've hurt just as many people as England and France.

That all makes sense to me. Our history teacher taught us in school that power corrupts (people) and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I thought he was cynical at the time, but certainly far too many people are corrupted by power.

Weren’t the Balkans just part of the Ottoman Empire at the time the Americas were invaded?

[–] Ofiuco@piefed.ca 4 points 1 week ago

As a mexican, u rite

Not the Onion community is seriously having to work overtime in this presidency.

[–] cute_noker@feddit.dk 17 points 1 week ago

Sometimes I miss the "not" and laugh a little bit..

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Gonna be great when the pendulum swings and we start the Nuremberg trials up again

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unfortunately 75-85 million people had died by then. Today that number would be doubled or tripled at least

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nuremberg was a failure anyway. They gave the Nazis the easiest fucking trials ever.

I’m afraid that the outcome will be the same here. That the ICE goons will live quiet lives after this. There will be no reckoning - that the desire to move on and forget all of this will override the desire to punish. That we will rn more “fair” to them than they are to the immigrants they round up.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

There's folks on Lemmy that feel Nuremburg was a mistake and inhumane and that Streicher's execution was wrong.

So I expect ICE agents will have plenty of supporters when/if it comes down to it.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Personally, I think that ICE should be tried and executed as a class. Allowing the confederates, nazis, and business plotters to live out peaceful lives were the greatest mistakes made by democracies.

I'm tired boss

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Yes, that is the actual headline

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In lieu of a final cigar, Stephan Millar should be offered that sex toy by the firing squad.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Might help him please his wife enough that she doesn’t have to go after whatever shriveled up thing Elon has…

[–] superminerJG@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

ICE gooners

FTFY

[–] Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does it represent how they are dicks?

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Only if the dildo was limp.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

These people are completely unhinged

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

At least they protected the children!
