US government dives into entertainment memery

[Maxmars]

It is proof that the White House is not being truthful and is more concerned with pure propaganda in facing the public.

It is precisely what they shouldn't be projecting.

The law needs no "politicking" to have merit.

In truth, I guess I'm disappointing that some moron isn't getting slapped around administratively for this...

"example of free speech" (accidentally)/(Incidentally) elevated to actionable civil redress....

Hey... it's only OUR money...

What do the "sharers" care? - it was funny.
Lawyers win, media wins, public "entertained."

It's just that... "shaming" isn't what we need a government for...
they have no mandate to use their official voices for that purpose.

Pedantic? Sure... Boring... yup.

Americans obviously want this inside their government...
At least, that's the story the media appears to tell us....
now more often in meme form.

I find memes funny, even the anti-MAGA ones.  Some of those are creative, while most are just urine-soaked bitter sheets.

You're concerned with facts now?

Don't get me started, kiwi!

 

I have always been concerned with facts, and with the way they are frequently mishandled by the US media and also the current US liar in chief.

That is why I often post supportive links, when I can, with preferences for academic and credible sources - something that seems very rare in your post history.

... and, as I have explained to you previously, I'm an Australian citizen. I only reside in New Zealand (it's a nice place to live).

It'd be nice if you dealt with facts because we'd both be on the same side always agreeing with each other.

But, since you made the effort to make a DI meme...
targeted at 'angry liberal leftists' ...
does your humor not really come at the expense of DI?

Are you not laying the object of your scorn at the doorstep of the place where you speak?

But you are here... making memes... yet this is somehow about "angry liberal leftists" and not "you?"

I mean to be obtuse to make a kind of point...

You enjoy memes.
Even I enjoy memes...

Why must they always point at the same thing, over and over?

There has to be some reason they are so predictable... almost tiresome.

I'm sure that's not the intent of the meme, which no one ever really wants to get into.

But it's not to present a repugnant sentiment just because we simply must... that couldn't be it.

You have to take it in context.

She came off strong and angry and righteous after and during the church attack.

Now she's sad.

lol

Sucks to be her.

Hope she gets 10 years in jail.

A peaceful protest that disrupted a church service, and where no-one was injured and there was no property damage, is being called a "riot"?

If they start arresting civil rights lawyers for leading non-violent protests, what does it say about the incumbent authorities?

Is the US the country of liberty and freedom? Or is it, now, in fact, this:

"Always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever."
(excerpt from George Orwell's novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four').

Have you considered that it appears to others as if you want to be deceived and oppressed, the subject of some autocrat's cruel whim?

Peaceful?

Let's flip it around.

Imagine 3 dozen Jews entering a mosque to protest hamas.

You'd support their "peaceful protest"?

I don't think I would either support, nor try and prevent, their protest.

I rarely ever participate in protest events anyway. I think that changing people's minds through open rational public discussion, or by signing up to a petition to show community attitudes, or electoral show of preferences, will probably be more effective.



Propaganda, Memes and slogans are for those with very short spans of attention and poor comprehension of complexities.

But neither are there grounds for the secular government's arrest of the protestors in your hypothetical situation, nor for the arrest of those who tried to remove them from the mosque without violence.

Also, what fantastic imaginations you have to justify your beliefs? Do you dislike Sikhs because an elephant might sit on your car, too? Or do you distrust the French because someone might put super-glue on a bidet?

Yes, get into their zone of generational beliefs, without any thought involved.

And there you have it folks!
