explain it without racism

Unreasonable demands, bro.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

I mean, OP did leave religious bigotry on the table, so it's not like they rug-pulled the Republicans entire platform.

And remember that although the actress was 24, the character was ostensibly Borat's 16-year-old daughter, which they told Giuliani before this scene.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m guessing by your description this is a sex scene?

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The borat actor did a movie where he trolls politicians from both sides. This was julliani thinking he was about to have sex.

Berni Sanders was also trolled. Borat actor (Sasha Cohen?) Stayed in character and kept throwing nonsensical math at him. Berni said something like "that's not how math works". He tried to explain things but at some point was looking off camera for an explanation about why he was talking to an idiot (Sasha)

Borat 2 is an absolute masterpiece

[–] treesapx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

That texting scene is so fucking funny.

[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

He told Bernie "to solve poverty, we should put the 99% of the poorer people into the richest 1%" (don't ask, it makes no sense)

And Bernie tried to explain calmly it's not how percentages work

Zohran Mamdani plans to do 9/11: Part 2 by giving terrorists access to the bus and train system free of charge and allowing far left antifa to live in rent controlled units with neighborhood public grocery stores.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 month ago

Why would they need that? Antifa already live rent free in their heads.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Utopia. Can I stay there too or do I have to be in some club?

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 71 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Muslim=Terrorist... that's what he means

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Yeah I don't think we can even call it a dog whistle anymore, it's pretty damn audible

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Free Gaza. Vote for Trump to teach Harris a lesson.

Stupidest path of logic I ever heard of

It's racism from a septuagenarian that should be currently dying in a state prison.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Whomever explains it shows the racism in the post.

For those who don't get the symbolism, because hes Muslim, they are being racist and saying hes the same as the 9/11 terrorists

[–] phx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

While at the same time taking bookings from those running the country that committed the actual terrorism ...

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

NY forgot Rudy Gouliani was still alive and was relevant once. Hopefully he's dead soon and we can finally forget that spray on hair dripper.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

What’s so bizarre is that on the actual day of 9/11 he was pretty great at promoting stability and calm in the midst of chaos. I remember watching him and thinking, well, he’s doing pretty good for . . everything. Really. It’s hard to imagine.

And then, slowly at first, then almost overnight he became the arrogant idiot fascist licking drunk we all wish was in prison.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What the fuck are you talking about, it was like 3 days after the incident he said he needs to be mayor forever... or some shit like that. Power hungry piece of slime.

I'm not Republican but I can - technically - explain it without racism. The word Muslim can mean adherents of Islam and it can also mean a specific ethnic group from what used to be Yugoslavia. Being anti-Islam would make you anti-Muslim (the religion) but not anti-Muslim (the ethnic group) although most ethnic Muslims are also religious Muslims.

The attack on the world trade center was carried out by an extremist Islamic group. If you subscribe to a broad scope of hate, then you would blame all Muslims (religion) for the attack. Zohran Mamdani is Muslim (religion) but not Muslim (ethnicity). If you hate him because of his religion, that by itself is not racism.

I would except that a Venn diagram of people who hate Mamdani because of his religion and people who hate him for racist reasons is virtually a circle, but there is room for a non-racist explanation of this propaganda.

drawing this differentiation while the same ppl who definitely arent racist against muslims claim criticism of israel is antisemitism is pointless tho

explain it without racism

My dude you're asking Republicans to never even open their mouths or type out a word ever again.

Its like telling people to do math without numbers, letters or standard notations

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The politicians forgot to pay the medical bills for the first responders that got exposed to the toxic debris. That's all I remember

Buddy we forgot a long time ago. Trump pals around with the people who were actually responsible for it all the time, they gave him some stupid orb and his son in law billions of dollars. I guess that doesn't matter though.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 12 points 1 month ago

You forgor to be racist 💀

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Oh, this has nothing to do with racism. He just wanted to remind everyone in case they forgot. This is a well intentioned, pure hearted reminder. No racism here! I mean, you would have to be really stupid to think that all Muslims are terrorists, and he is not stupid! He is really smart actually! Maybe he should do the IQ test with Trump to show the world how smart he is!

If you're still in line, stay in line.

Cuomo can still win this

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Ironically, the destruction of the twin towers were good days for Rudy.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

I would say MAGA forgot...but not about 9/11. They forgot about what US veterans fought for in WW2. That's where the phrase "never forget" originally came from.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

o no i forgor 💀

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Only if religious animosity doesn't count as racism. Which it probably shouldn't.

Cause they who be hittin the towers sure had some religious animosity.

Seriously though. Giuliani can go and cry at a 4 seasons or something. Fuck him.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

I'd tell you, but I forgot 🤷

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

republican

Pretty sure we bullied most of them off of lemmy

Uh, Rudy Giuliani is also, like Trump, seriously physically ill, has pudding for brains, and while he's not a convicted felon yet, there's a good chance he'll actually die during the legal proceedings.

He is... probably the most disgraced former mayor of New York City ... in... history?

Yeah, he's a clown person making angry clown noises as the light slowly fades.

Perl Harbor and Nazi germany: USA you forgot to shoot nazis, fashists and imperialists (yes eventhough you are it yourself)

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Many voters weren't even born yet when the towers fell.

[–] Plurrbear@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It breaks my heart that Giuliani is still alive, I figured his hair dye would have dripped and drained right into his bloodstream! Haha!

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Motherfucker, you forgot! Go back to your hole.
