The "gates" in this case are immigration fence gates. It's about immigration.

I choose to believe he's talking about the Pantera song Cemetery Gates

Both because it's a great song and because the singer of Pantera is a Nazi. Fuck Pantera for making such a great song come out of such a shitty human.

Ah fuck, that sucks. I just read a breakdown of his antics and it looks like whenever he's drunk or on drugs, he loses the ability to keep a lid on the Nazism.

Never listening to them again. :(

I hate Bill Gates as much as anyone, but this is going too far.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 10 months ago

Pearly Gates? Bill Gates? Gates McFadden? Gaytes?

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

I think we can rule out McFadden due to the lack of candles

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Just, general gates. They have a fear of safe passage through fences

[-] unreasonabro@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

just like every other day of his life

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Gates? You mean Gaetz?

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

The author forgets that LGBTQ+ people, women, and non-white people not only can, but absolutely SHOULD get strapped. Because no matter who gets elected, the cops are going to be on the side of the capital-owning class, and white men with power. Anyone that tells you that you should give up your guns is just trying to make it easier for the police state to oppress you.

[-] olutukko@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

those guns are then used as excuse to shoot them by cops though

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

When you have well-armed protestors, cops suddenly get very nervous about firing tear gas, rubber bullets, and starting shit in general. Cops don't like even odds; they want to have 20 people shooting at one person.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Dont mention you have a firearm on ya. Im a Redneck and the rule of thumb is that the cops should never know you have a firearm, lie through your fucken teeth if ya hafta. Cops, Pinkertons, and Sherriffs should be treated as the threats they are, which is to say dont be stupid but dont trust them at all.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

Gates? Bill? In a fence? McFadden? What Gates?

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I also thought it would be about Bill lol

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

[-] gex@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
