They are ineffective. Dictators tend to suppress all dissident speech, not keyboard warriors specifically. Also, they can't go after anyone not in their country. Obviously, the internet gives people that ability.

Most of the keyboard warriors I've seen are non-American. Trying to egg us on into indiscriminate violence.

The vast majority are, it's not a secret.

Grandson, listen close as I impart this important wisdom I've accumulated in my time

Smoke weed everyday.

Why? He wasn't paid to say this stupid shit.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, he wasn't who I was looking to for political takes, lol. Now if I need someone to show me how to smoke 10 blunts, that's different.

Wouldn't it only be hypocrisy if the issues in question were more closely related? Like if, in the past, Snoop had two women making out in a music video or something. But even that wouldn't have been intended for kids.

Not defending, his stance is asinine.

I think Snoop is being a dumbass here (like I did when he went to Trump's inauguration party) but this is a bad argument. He didn't make the music for young children.

I don't know if hypocrisy is the right term. Maybe in an extremely broad sense but then it starts to lose its meaning.

"Good guy"? We just knew him as an occasional musician and mega-stoner. Not many people calling him an actual hero.

He made adult music knowing it would be listened to by children.

Snoop deserves criticism for this and his Trump inauguration appearance, but this is a deeply stupid criticism that can be made about literally any entertainer.
