Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is "a blow against US / NATO imperialism" completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because "Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east", acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

I was at a skating rink this weekend. It was full of families bringing their kids so their kids could have fun. Even some kids birthday parties.

Oh, and the dad wearing an anti-Biden shirt. While hanging out and skating with his kid.

Priorities.

I mean, did wearing the shirt stop him from doing that?

I think you're missing the point that it doesn't really fit the environment he was in. It says a lot about how much free rent a politician seems to have in his head, when he's likely never met said politician, likely has nothing directly to do with said politician, and was also displaying it in an area where I'm fairly sure the majority already agree with him (knowing this region).

It's just a weird topic to flex in THAT specific environment.

Meh, I interpret it as someone buying a shirt, then just wearing it randomly whenever they grab it from their drawer

Yea, and I extend that to all Politics. I don’t want to see anti-Trump shirts, I don’t really want to see pro Trump or pro Biden. Politicians aren’t sports teams. Save it for rallies, and what not. Just tired of seeing it.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah agreed. It's so weird to make politics or politicians part of your identity like this and extend it to totally hnrelated situstions by wearing a message. I already barely understand when people do it for sports as if they personally have any connection to the team.

Being anti-Biden is literally giving priority to human lives. If palestinian lives matter, I mean.

Edit: if palestinian, afghan, yemeni, russian and ukrainian lives matter.

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Yeah we gotta get Trump into office, he'll be MUCH better prioritizing human lives

[-] bigFab@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago
