Tony Blair Institute

At least clown college contributes to society

[-] Grimble@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Without clown college we'd never have Fellini movies, for better or worse anti-italian-action

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

I think clowning is a noble profession

Someone who dedicates themselves to making other people happy through buffoonery and farce

It's actually rather sad that people have such a negative view of them really

Didn't Zelenskyy go to clown college?

Remember when r/chapo was horny over her?

[-] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

this comment could be used in a thread about any vaguely famous woman under the age of 60 lol

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yea but it was an INFAMOUS thread that got referenced for a long while after. someone made a post basically congratulating her on her win, and there were a TON of people thirsting over her in the comments (as well as infighting)

i also remember at that time the less lib r/cth2 made a parody post comparing her to sexy lola bunny or something

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

I once saw a Chapo talk about how Marjorie taylor green was attractive, anything is fking possible with these people

People on hexbear even defended her after she was caught cheating on her partner and partying instead of doing her job lmao

[-] Venus@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Wait but that sounds based though

[-] SimulatedLiberalism@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Elected officials not performing their due responsibilities as representatives to the people are based now?

I’ll remind you that the scandal took place during a 40-year high inflation in Finland.

[-] Venus@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

yes-chad

It's not like Finland is socialist. This is a lib politician elected by libs who want her to do lib shit. Disappointing libs and partying instead of enacting lib shit in public office is based

[-] SimulatedLiberalism@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I get what you’re trying to say, but there are people, working class people, who actually suffered under their policies (literally giving up cheap Russian electricity and nuclear power projects which in turn caused high energy price inflation, which I assure you was mostly shouldered by the poorest in the society, while the upper class parties on. This was what made the scandal so revolting in the first place.)

This sounds like one of those “red states deserve to be poor and suffer from it because they kept voting for the Republicans”

[-] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

But partying and fucking off rules?

Maybe not then cheating part but the other part slaps

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

context matters. a proletarian fucking off and partying on the boss's dollar is cool because it goes against the normal oppression happening.

a bourgeois public official partying and fucking off while being paid public money is business as usual.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

if this was what she was doing in her job then yeah, id prefer that

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

lmao the press release even said the quiet part out loud, that this is her reward for bringing Finland into NATO

Ms Marin has a record of accomplishment, from setting one of the world’s most ambitious climate targets – enabled by a full programme of digitalisation and deployment of technology – to shepherding her country’s accession to NATO following Russia’s aggression in Ukraine (the swiftest accession in the alliance’s history).

[-] Nationalgoatism@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Can you imagine what kind of vicious freak you have to be to want to be associated with Tony Blair?

[-] Sooperstition@lemmy.one 37 points 1 year ago

What do we want? Market-based, means tested solutions!

When do we want it? In a reasonable amount of time!

Don't trust the liberals, they will betray you. - patrick-lenin

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

lmao they got the most soulless looking still of her for this

also fun fact, the party that controlled finland during ww2 is now in charge. thanks social democrats pit

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's not really new. They, the social democrats and the former agrarian party basically played musical chairs and formed various coalitions with each other for decades until the True Finns exploded

The True Finns being the mask-off epic online poster fascist party

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

~~The True Finns~~

The Basic Finns, you mean.

On a slightly unrelated note, I think Finland is the only country in the world where Pete Buttigieg would be a leading politician.

Finnish people love an ineffectual lib that is "qualified". Most of them seem like they were made in a lab. Tarja Halonen is the only finnish politician I've seen that isnt dead behind the eyes. I guess it is preferable to the alternative which is the saying the quiet part loud party.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Nah he'd be big in most of Scandinavia

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Sweden doesn't really do the technocrat much, and when we get them they're usually dunked on. Only buttigieg-y politician in Sweden I can recall being successful is Bildt, but he fucked it up for all technocrats to follow. Kristersson also has a similar vibe, but he is a leading politician because he is being buoyed by the saying the quiet part loud party, not because he is well liked.

Can't speak much for Norway and Denmark however.

I had a silly unexamined belief that she was cool and lefty because she had topless women kissing at her house.

[-] SimulatedLiberalism@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

She got Finland into NATO. That’s a guaranteed lucrative job lined up for her.

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

TBI as an abbreviation for the org is kinda funny though. The jokes practically write themselves.

[-] NoLeftLeftWhereILive@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Oh there is talk about digitalisation and Finland... from someone working with marginalized folks in Finland who have to try and deal with these neoliberal tech solutions of ours I'd have so much to say about this to our Neoliberal Princess, but I am just too tired for that now.

She did throw the entire unemployed, disabled and sick part of this country under the buss with her "It's time to live" covid is over-announcement. It's Biden lite.
