❤️ My favorite, even though I noticed that it's a cello and he she's playing it all wrong. Tardigrades aren't all they're made out to be.

They have a special cello-playing technique - have you even really heard it? Also, it's a she.

So you and all the people that are up voting you are pro-ICE?

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 23 pts · 2d

This isn't a black and white situation. Ice sucks, Milo sucks, it's funny that the dude that supported and helped build the machine that is now trampling him.

Just had a look at this user's comment history. It's more of the same. "You lefties all parrot these talking points" and "genocide Joe enabled Trump" etc.

Always just falling short of admitting that they're faaaar on the right. Or a tankie.

IMO these types are mainly trolls, and only after that political idiots.

The Internet Research Agency employs people to disrupt in earnest, but they have a following of people who think that's a valid position to take in a political discourse. Indirect fans, basically.

He's "ex-gay" and now claims that gayness doesn't exist lol

Praise the lord! Another miracle! Now if you will excuse him, he and a couple of his fellow now heterosexuals have to go pray in private, nevermind the noises, they pray hard.

According to DHS, Yiannopoulos legally entered the U.S. in May 2019 through New York City ​but "chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation's laws."

"Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing," the DHS ​statement said. "He will remain in ICE custody pending removal."

I wonder if this will change his opinion on immigration enforcement...

bus_factor@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 2d

He'll probably maintain his position, which is that they should keep disappearing everyone else, just not him.

The thing with Fascists is that they're jingoist as fuck, so they can at best tolerate foreign Fascists (and only as long as they can use them as useful idiots) before, ultimately, treating them like they do all other foreigners.

This is why, as Meloni recently found out with Trump, even when they're looked to as an inspiration by foreign Fascists, they're looking down on them.

The only foreigners they don't do turn on are the ultra-rich that keep giving them money.

I didn't know this asshole was a limey. I read back 2020 ish he was on a crusade to pull the catholics over to the dark side more. He's a little late to the punch in the US, the catholic establishment is pretty hardcore right wing here unlike many other places.

Holy shit, these religious leaders just crushed this hack AG! That was badass.

'But “out of respect,” they go on to demolish Uthmeier’s points, citing the hierarchical nature of the Catholic church, the religion clauses of the First Amendment, state laws, and previous court rulings. In all, “It is beyond cavil that the bishops, not the state, decide how to interpret and apply Catholic principles and theology.”'

Cavil is apparently a petty or unnecessary objection.

That is the thing with catholics, they aren't all on the wrong side. Their members are like half and half more good than bad in the US. Even as the American Clergy skews hard right nazi. But not all. Hence Yiannopolis' campaign to pull more to support naziism. Because that worked so well last time!

What a weird timeline we live in. Suddenly everyone who despises ICE to their core is now pro-ICE. Guess they were always just upset that they didn't have their own fascist thugs they could use against people they didn't want in the country.

The purpose of this community is the dark, miserable humor that comes from people suffering consequences that they wished on other people.

'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

This might be a community you want to block, if you don't understand this. No shame in that.

The obvious. The comments by many other posters here and in similar posts.

lonefighter@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 2d

I'm not pro-ICE at all. I don't support their actions, and if given the choice would not have sent ICE after him or anyone else.

But if you are an orphan, you advocate for orphans to get tossed in an orphan grinding machine, and then the thugs who run the machine come to throw orphan you in the orphan grinding machine, I can take a moment to smile at the irony while still being horrified by and totally opposed to the existence of orphan grinding machine.

People aren't supporting ICE, they're laughing at Milo's karmic suffering.
