Never believe fascists are operating in good faith. That's why they're immune to pointing out hypocrisy; they just straight up don't fucking care because, yes, exactly, you should have rules and I shouldn't because that's what I want.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 82 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The point of pointing out the hypocrisy isn't to get them to change, but to try to get someone in their thrall to realize they've been duped. Nazis are at the end of the day scammers.

I dunno, man, the maga people I know see the scam and they're 100% invested in it. The only one I know that has fallen out is an army guy who's a big constitution fan and sees where Trump is heading. He's still a Republican, but MAGA left him behind.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

I hear you. I don't invest much time in pointing out the hypocrisy. I'm mostly focused on positive messaging about what the left actually is compared to what they've been told we are

I'm writing a key for those who don't get what's so fancy about four numbers

86 = 8 miles out and 6 feet under, I believe from Las Vegas gang slang. Where to bury the guy that cheats your casino.
46 = USA President no. 46, Joe Biden
47 = USA President no. 47, Donald Trump

Put them together and you have a code that incites violence/murder of the mentioned US President.

Edit: Fuck, the Vegas origin is a myth.

Whoa. I like the energy, but 86 is a kitchen term for an item no longer being available.

86 in this case is generally agreed to mean "no more"

Whoa ho ho, let me like slow up with the flow, if I move to quick, oh, you just won’t know

Rhyming slang making people completely lose their minds trying to figure out it's origin(which is the intention in the first place) and diner lingo. I love it.

Order of burn the British with axle grease, rollers and a blond 86 the sand.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

English muffin with black coffee?

Wait. Axle grease is butter.

Buttered toasted English muffin coffee with cream no sugar lol

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Buttered toasted English muffins, sausage links and coffee with cream hold the sugar

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Forgot the rollers! Lmao. I love this shit hah hah hah.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah took a while lol. Dinner slang is something else lol

Edit:

Cool list of phrases of dinner slang for you all to check out.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Here, have an article with about a dozen different possible origins for the expression to 86 someone or something. Btw, none of them have to do with killing anyone.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, 86 just means to throw it out. It's old garbage, no one wants that.

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Acts so tough about being shot in the head but is afraid of four numbers in a tweet.

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Bullies will use any excuse to further their own agendas, at the expense of anyone else. This includes the current "administration" which is led by a skinless cantaloupe.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Here's a fun idea, call 47 for 47.

explanationFor those that don't get it, Hitman's protagonist is Agent 47

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

What about 8645?

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Stick it up mista! Get your hands up in the air sir!

he's admitting what he meant when he posted it

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Now now. Let him cook.

I'm perfectly fine with hanging every living current or former US President for their many various war crimes.

Imagine how good the next president would be if he or she had to step over 5 or 6 corpses to get the job.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

But have you considered the negative consequences of requiring the executive branch to avoid willfully committing war crimes? /sarcasm

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

86 Mahi Mahi

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Also Comey was just observing with a picture and documenting public sentiment. Jack Poso, well, just said it directly.

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

That’s probably that dumb motherfuckers credit card pin.

[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Damn, a man cant even celebrate his 39th birthday on April 7th in peace. SMH my head.

(1986-04-07 --> 8647 😉)

Also: 1793-01-21 ---> 47 😏
