Only the *actual* sociopaths will find this entertaining. They'll very quickly alienate many of their hardest supporters.

I say do it.

Idk COPS did pretty good in the 90’s and it was pretty racist most of the time

Am I misremembering or weren't people more accepting of racism in the 90s? I know that since Trump 2.0 is around that people are more mask hood off but....

Yeah the 90s was pretty much the wild west in terms of what was acceptable in today's world. Wild to see how much has changed in 30ish years

Yeah I recall being able to say lots of words and get laughs as a result whereas if I were to repeat what I said today I would get exiled from my communities and cutoff from my friends.

*I have progressed as a person and no longer hold those same views about what is acceptable to say about other people.

Imagine if she knew history

UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Obviously she'll have exclusive rights. We're turning into Idiocracy, 1984 and the The Running Man

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y (1 reply)

it's so bad we have to specify which 1980s dystopia were talking about

outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 1y

specify

Nah. We're just doing all the big 20th century ones.

Thank fuck these idiots havent read 'echopraxia'.

Edit: in roughly reverse order, it looks like. We already did 'snow crash', anf other 90s hits, now we're doing voerhoeven's entire catalog, and really trying for handmaid's tale....

Yeah. I know it's superficial of me, but I have a hard time taking her or any of the plastic surgery disasters clogging up the airwaves in the US seriously due to the grotesque absurdity of what they've done to themselves.

It's like trying to have the news read to you by a bunch of clowns. The disconnect between what I am seeing and what I am hearing is too big for my brain to gap.

And before anyone calls me sexist, I have similar issues with both sexes. Trying to take Trump seriously is only possible when I can't see his spray painted melted wax doll face. Or whatever Matt Gaetz did to his mug.

IIRC the Vietnam war being televised and photographed was one of the things that led to the widespread protests against it. So yeah, get livestreams of ICE agents tackling children. See how that works out.

Laura Loomer should jump off a building

I want that live-streamed.

I’d definitely watch if IRL nuisance streamers harassed the fuck out of her everywhere she went. I’d pay good money to see that.

Someone should show her a video of what real cartels do to people that piss them off.

She needs a leash

outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y

No, no i think some dirt would be good enough for it.
