It's weaponized misinformation to divide people so they don't go after the oligarchy. It's literally what this is.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes. This meme is exactly what this is. Uh huh.

Have fun with that.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You're right, shitmemes based on DailyMail content is the high level academic stuff you're reaching for.

What a weird thing to confess. And in public, no less.

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago

He probably didn't even realize he was confessing.

Does that conversely also mean that a woman with a beard does not need to wear a hijab?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 week ago

Inquiring minds want to know.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

I think that a more likely to be considered possibility is bald women. Probably won't be though.

"You're the problem for making me horny" is giving Count Frollo energy.

Work on yourself, find a twink who loves you back, and leave the rest of the world alone.

Man, that shit made me gay.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

I mean, I'd let Pedro Pascal turn me gay. No homo.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

You know he can grow full facial hair? He just had to shave it all off. On account of losing Pedro Pascal's Wager

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Transitioning most places
> shave
> makeup
> new wardrobe
> voice training
> hormones
> laser
> surgery
> therapy for all the times you get clocked regardless

Transitioning in Turkey
> shave
> congratulations, enjoy passing

I don't know if this is disingenuous "reasoning" or, an honest position.

Ever since I came to understand that Flat Earthers weren't just trolls, like the way Birds Aren't Real folks ARE trolls, I've had trouble sussing out what's real and what's just bullshit "reasoning" to support bullshit ideals. I get now that I was just naive as to how incredibly stupid and evil people can be.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 56 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Flat earthers actually started as a troll, but people are really fucking stupid.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Society obviously has a range of critical thinking capability. It used to be that every village had its idiot and the village knew who that was, and thus who to promptly ignore. The problem with the internet, is that all the village idiots found each other and started to form their own villages online. Along the way those that weren't quite as dumb saw the groups they formed and thought, "Gee, that many people surely can't be wrong", and the groups got larger and larger until they were big enough to actually cause harm.

Sometimes, the seed of that stupidity were jokes and trolls. Flat Earth Theory was one of those seeds. Trump's political career was kickstarted by 4Chan taking advantage of the same online landscape and legacy media's inability to stay away from a constantly expanding train wreck that generates infinite ad revenue.

FYI: Flat Earthers started out just like the Bird's Aren't Real people.

"Any group that gets its rocks off pretending to be stupid, eventually will be filled with actual stupid people who think they are in good company."

like the way Birds Aren’t Real folks ARE trolls

That was more a riff on the decades-long fear of mass surveillance. There's a degree of conspiracy theory on top of the conspiracy theory, in which a few niche corners of the internet assert the "Birds Aren't Real" guy was promoted as a means of deflecting attention from the Snowden Leaks and other surveillance whistleblowers.

I’ve had trouble sussing out what’s real and what’s just bullshit “reasoning” to support bullshit ideals.

Welcome to Post Modernist Mass Media. Manipulating public opinion is now more important than conveying anything that's actually useful.

Among the most homophobic ways to come out tbh

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If it's causing you "indecent thoughts" it's because you're gay and like clean-shaven guys, my man. I guess gay guys who like bearded men are allowed all the eye candy they want there as long as they don't touch.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As a gay guy, I can see it

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 week ago

Dude, I can even see it as a straight guy.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 week ago

How terrible! Where was he deported? Like what’s his address? …. Can he come stay with me?

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There are neighborhoods in LA with a reasonable supply of dudes who look like this.

As a lesbian I can say with certainty that men without beards don't look like women.

[–] Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago

Thank you, as a hetero sexual man I got so confused I almost turned gay. But you saved me.

I was listening to a podcast the other day and it was saying that in some culture, I forget which, "a man" was defined as "wears a mustache and has a big hat" - because why wouldnt you have those if you could?

Funny how culture thinks it's the first and last word of a definition

So anyway, this guy has a beard and hat but no mustache, therefore not a man.

It's okay, just say "no homo" after thinking the thoughts and ur good.

[–] comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu 19 points 1 week ago

Religion is the worst idea, ever.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Yeah, you're gay mate. You just aren't into bears...

It's almost like it's normal to have those thoughts and your need to punish yourself for those thoughts is a you problem, not an us problem, eh?!

[–] ShaunaTheDead@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago

Add another panel where they're making out

As the old disco song says, "Ain't no closet big enough!" for this preacher

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I'm gonna come right out and say it:

A beard with no moustache looks weird.

He must be a fan of the popular Australian band 'The Beards' and their popular ditty: "If your dad doesn't have a beard then you've got two mums" and other excellent beard related songs.

Old mate probably just got lost in translation.

[–] gasgiant@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Need further information.

What do mustaches do?

Asking for a friend.....

That’s another way of admitting you’re gay, I guess.
