A pedophile, a racist and a nazi enters a bar.

The barman says: "Hello mr. trump, the usual?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 9 points 2 hours ago

More like "hello Mr Trump, you still haven't paid your tab"

[–] frenchfryenjoyer 4 points 4 hours ago

good one! 😂

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 hours ago

you're double-dipping with racist/nazi

[–] Outwit1294@lemmy.today -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That is assuming Trump and co. do wholesome things with children

[–] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 2 hours ago

Not really, they just like children.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

Hmm... I don't like kids. I don't want to have any and I really don't like being around them. However, I don't think people should murder them. What's that, a 2?

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 hours ago

When "Fuck them kids" is an either/or.

Israel should be in superposition on both ends because they love to kill children but also are a safe haven for pedophiles.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

The chart is actually a circle with the two ends connected

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 25 points 10 hours ago

Fascists have a long history of sexualizing the subjects of their persecution, it's all part of domination over other humans to feel superior. Once the group you hate has been dehumanized, you can treat them as property or worse.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Was there an article that came out about them being a safe haven for pedophiles? Cuz the US has a shit ton of pedophiles, one of them is our president.

[–] Heyting@lemmy.ml 19 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

There’s tons if you search in any engine. But here’s a link for you:

Accused jewish sex offenders can flee to Israel to avoid prosecution.

It's just like Catholic priests.

Horseshoe theory strikes again!

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 25 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

I remember growing up and learning about how horrible the past was to children, with everything from forced marriages to older men, to having to work in literal coal mines and industrial machines. How there was a serious phrase "Children are to be seen, not heard" as advice for parents to keep their kids silent. To say nothing of how literally beating your children just as daily ritual was considered normal for centuries.

I thought "Wow, thank God I am growing up in a civilized era that respects children as human beings."

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 0 points 16 minutes ago

I think we need to remember that child mortality was wayyyyyyy higher back then. In particularly in underdeveloped areas like Europe, where medicine and hygiene were centuries behind many other regions in the world. So generally about half of children would die before reaching adulthood. Especially in Europe that was still the case in the 18th century.

https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality-in-the-past

So there was a feedback loop, where the love "invested" into children had to be rationed, because their premature death was likely and they also needed to be "tough" if they wanted to survive.

Because many children would die anyways, it was easier for the affluent parts of society to abuse them as expendable by normalizing sending them to coal mines or to be eaten by the machines. Also the lack of contraception would ensure a steady "surplus" of children, further fueling the idea that they are expendable, whereas them being "expendable" limited the supply of adults, which is why adult life was given the higher importance.

It's still horrible, really. There's a lot of work to do

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

On the plus side, lots of us are raising our kids right. I learned a lot from my childhood, and then had like a 14-year gap between kids to learn even more. My youngest will be a good man who does the goddamn dishes.

I get to see him live later this year! So glad he's back doing tours again.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

2025 wrapped.

Good ole z-axis to the rescue!

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

I'm pretty sure it's more of a not-z axis.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I think the why axis is better.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

That also works rather well.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

What would that represent? How much you love/hate kids over time?

[–] don@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

No, that would be the y-axis. The z-axis moves off the 2D plane from the center of the line as if it’s moving toward the “camera lens” that took the photo.
