That’s because back the blue is just a more polite way to say the 14 words

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Wait I don't get this one. What's the 14 words? I'm an elder millennial and sometimes I miss the new slang.

Edit thanks for the quick answers.

I remember seeing some wild story in 2020 about someone getting banned from some game because their name was something like corona1488 but corona was their last name and Jan 4th 1988 was their birthday. I think they were able to get it fixed and maybe they changed their in game name too.

[-] neoman4426@fedia.io 29 points 2 days ago

I don't remember the exact words off the top of my head and too lazy to look it up, but it's a neonazi dog whistle. Something about 'protecting the future of the white children'

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It's not even a dog whistle. It's deafening.

[-] Atropos@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

It's a Nazi thing I am pretty sure

[-] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 9 points 2 days ago

The 14 words part Is adequately explained below, but in case you are unfamiliar as well, often 14 will be used in conjunction with the number 88 as well for HH or Heil Hitler.

[-] daqu@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago

You are not too old, you are just not hanging around the right people.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

These 14 words don't really have the "punchy" characteristic I'd expect from a slogan.

Fake Nazi graffiti

[-] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Haha that failed swatiska!

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, and they only remembered 11 words (poorly). I don't expect more from Nazi vandals, which is why I drew it that way.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Emphasis on right

I’m also an elder millennial and I learned about it from the incredible podcast “Weird Little Guys”. I cannot recommend it enough. Such a good show.

"Fuck it, I do not care how big the room is, I cast fireball?"

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago

Luckily we don't have to put up with this misinformation again.

I will repeat myself one last time.

She had a record number of convictions for cannabis. She had the lowest number of convictions resulting in jail time.

She went after banks that affected her district. They did not like that one bit.

There's a bunch more stuff. But this is plainly a shitty attempt at painting Harris supporters as relying on some form of cognitive dissonance.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

another 100% truthful post from return2ozma

[-] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 12 hours ago

is there a history I don't know about? lol

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 56 points 2 days ago

I’ve always liked this meme format, and this is one of the best uses of it I’ve seen.

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 42 points 2 days ago

To be fair, Harris had a contentious relationship with cops, when--IIRC--she didn't pursue the death penalty for a cop killer.

Prosecutors have to work with police, but aren't police. Prosecutors want to win, because that's how they get elected. When cops do dumb, illegal shit, prosecutors get pissed because then they can't win a case. Cops usually blame prosecutors for not locking everyone up. Prosecutors get pissed at cops, because cops botch investigations and make stupid, illegal arrests.

Of the two, I have much more respect for prosecutors. Prosecutors are often very good attorneys (in their field).

To reiterate a point: district attorney are elected. The public expects them to win cases. When they don't, even if it's because cops are handing them steaming piles of garbage, they tend to lose their jobs. Shitty, but true. We may say ACAB, but when it comes down to it, a prosecutor that refuses to, for instance, prosecute certain low-level crimes will tend to get voted out of office because it pisses off the constituents.

unless it's US Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, then Republicans can just say no to whatever we vote for.

ITT: people who don't know what "cop" means

Edit: prosecutors are cops, judges are cops, spooks are cops, etc

[-] Zess@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

But usually only cops practice street justice with no due process or consequences. Never saw a prosecutor suffocate someone to death for being accused of a petty crime or shoot a kid for holding a toy.

what crazy times we live in!

[-] stonerboner@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 2 days ago

Does anyone actually consider a prosecutor a cop?

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago
[-] stonerboner@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 days ago

I call myself Robocop. Does that make me a police officer, too?

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago
[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago

"You need to know the difference between cop and prosecutor, stupid progressives."

She literally calls herself a cop personally and branding

[-] stonerboner@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I’m progressive, so your weird quote is even weirder.

I never think lawyer when I hear ACAB. I do think “fuck lawyers” all the time, but rarely towards public servants (I mostly dislike corporate and greedy defense attorneys)

Are ya’ll just lumping them together out of convenience of disliking both, or do ya’ll really not understand the difference between a lawyer and a cop?

No, legal professionals are very different than law enforcement

[-] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

“Where’d you learn that, drug school?”

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

chief law enforcement officer representing ... an area

I might consider them worse actually

[-] Benjaben@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Easily more influential. Broader scope, that's for sure, and in a strong position to either amplify or counteract the typical "cop bullshit", depending on their choices.

ETA: don't think many of them work very hard at the "counteracting" side. To put it mildly.

No, police requires minimal education and training. Prosecutor is a lawyer, doesn't carry a gun or shoot innocent people.

[-] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

They only lie, hide evidence, and cover for the cops to put people in jail. But yeah you're right, the education makes all the difference! (Let's forget that cops in other countries get a metric fuckton more education and they aren't all that different). Both serve mostly to protect the state and ruling class's interests.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

Shhh, people don't like it when you point out that DAs and prosecutors enforce the state's monopoly on violence. That's far too much thinking.

[-] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

But they're educated though 💅

Hilarious

Well, I had a sensible chuckle at least.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

As long as you kept it civil.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Doing my part to tone down the rhetoric!

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

Can I wake up now? I just want to wake up.
