These guys love buying dildos

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 44 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I wonder how much of their budget is allocated for sex toys? Or do they just love their work so much they are happy to use their personal stash?

The pedophile class defending thug caste leveraging dildos in the war against normal people is EXACTLY the kind of tactics I would expect from the militant christian evangelicals.

Look at their leader. What sickos.

It's a "family values" thing.

[–] EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

When you are a regular customer/wholesale buyer, you get a discount 😉

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

They hire new ones all the time!

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Dildos are expensive too, though I imagine they're buying the cheap toys from the Rite Aid adult section. Call me when they're leaving $250+ custom poured fantasy dicks

yes please let us take America back again all the way to the Native Americans who should have been running it they can have it

in Oklahoma where stay at they have helped clean up the land and have pushed for better laws/policies that everyone benefits from

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Yes. The worst thing to happen to America isn't Trump, it's Europeans.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But isn’t Trump the product of Euro-American society (or roughly half)?

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but that is one branch of the entire tree. No need to chop the whole tree, just maybe that branch.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

America as a country, Trump, Northern America as a continent, probably just France, England, Portugal, Spain, and maybe the Dutch. There might be a conquering genocidal power I forgot, but close enough. I think it's important to be precise when assigning blame, let's leave the Balkans and Baltics out of this lol. Still, very correct.

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

You’re right to be precise. But I also think of people who followed, like from my country (Ireland). Some were destitute, but many have done some pretty vile stuff either against minorities or in support of the empire. So while the Irish state wasn’t technically involved, the people don’t exactly go there to lift up Native or African Americans. There’s a book called How the Irish Became White that explores this. And I know the Scottish are famous for their part in Empire too.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're absolutely correct. I more meant to refer to the countries that had absolutely nothing to do with it. Like, Lithuanians didn't do anything afaik. I think that much of that has to do with the lack of power of their government and ability of the populace to leave than virtue on their end. Plenty of people would've done horrible things if they could've, far more wouldn't have helped the people being genocided. It's all shitty. Germany and Italy would've colonized Africa more if they were more powerful during the scramble for Africa, they would've hurt just as many people as England and France.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That all makes sense to me. Our history teacher taught us in school that power corrupts (people) and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I thought he was cynical at the time, but certainly far too many people are corrupted by power.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

Weren’t the Balkans just part of the Ottoman Empire at the time the Americas were invaded?

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Gonna be great when the pendulum swings and we start the Nuremberg trials up again

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately 75-85 million people had died by then. Today that number would be doubled or tripled at least

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Nuremberg was a failure anyway. They gave the Nazis the easiest fucking trials ever.

I’m afraid that the outcome will be the same here. That the ICE goons will live quiet lives after this. There will be no reckoning - that the desire to move on and forget all of this will override the desire to punish. That we will rn more “fair” to them than they are to the immigrants they round up.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

There's folks on Lemmy that feel Nuremburg was a mistake and inhumane and that Streicher's execution was wrong.

So I expect ICE agents will have plenty of supporters when/if it comes down to it.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Personally, I think that ICE should be tried and executed as a class. Allowing the confederates, nazis, and business plotters to live out peaceful lives were the greatest mistakes made by democracies.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not the Onion community is seriously having to work overtime in this presidency.

[–] cute_noker@feddit.dk 17 points 2 weeks ago

Sometimes I miss the "not" and laugh a little bit..

I'm tired boss

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, that is the actual headline

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In lieu of a final cigar, Stephan Millar should be offered that sex toy by the firing squad.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Might help him please his wife enough that she doesn’t have to go after whatever shriveled up thing Elon has…

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

ICE gooners

FTFY

[–] Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does it represent how they are dicks?

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Only if the dildo was limp.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

At least they protected the children!

These people are completely unhinged
