What's the context of the source image?

What makes TayTay make that face?

[–] XOXOX 57 points 2 months ago

It was the contents of the briefcase from Pulp Fiction.

[–] Venat0r 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Looks like it's from the premiere of the movie "taylor swift the eras tour" at the Grove theater

I also found this video that claims she's reacting to a video of a baby but I suspect it might be ai generated bullshit.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh, I thought it might be someone showing her a picture of her own AI generated butthole.

[–] Viking_Hippie 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or someone showing her a real picture of their own butthole.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ve always imagined TayTay has a butthole fetish so that’s not the expression I’d imagine her making.

[–] Chocrates 4 points 2 months ago

Maybe she does but it was severely diseased

In ten years this will be how all introductions are made.

Thanks for that, led me to this banger:

When you can't win by playing by the rules, their last big plan is to rewrite all the rules.

[–] satanmat 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’d argue the plan is to Just do what they want; ignore what the law says if it might be against you. Etc.

Project 2025 IS the worst timeline

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It does seem like a "sovereign citizen" sort of approach to legality.

For those who want a summary of what Project 2025 is: here you go

For the full text of Project 2025: here you go

If you want a massive tldr: it's a playbook for enacting fascism in America

I'm gonna need more memes in this template... For reasons.

Project 2025:

"Please tell us more about, 'But Dems Same!'"

Conservatives planning to install a authoritarian government?

Sounds serious. So when are democrats dropping gun control?

Some of us don't have the privilege of being on the bottom of their hit list.

Democrats: FASCISM!

Also Democrats: Give us your guns!

If they were smart enough to drop the silly and ineffective gun control laws, they would landslide every election.

And to think, some of these fools want a national registry. I really don't want Trump's crew knowing what I have. And you shouldn't want them knowing what you don't have.

Yeah, that doesn't work at all.. Today's Republican party is LITERALLY a fascist party as per the 14 common features of fascism and, contrary to what libertarians tell you, gun control isn't a fascist attribute.

Mussolini, Franco, and Hitler all made sure that their supporters had easy access to weapons and didn't infringe on the weapons rights of marginalised groups any more than all of their rights in general.

Nah, a majority of people LIKE a decreased risk of being shot. Gun control is more popular than Dems are in general.

What makes you think gun control is facist? The Nazis relaxed thier gun control laws(except for jews obviously): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control_in_Germany#Gun_regulations_in_Nazi_Germany

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lefty gun nuts like to act as though gun control was invented by the Reagan admin to crack down on the Black Panthers when they tried to organize their own community protection groups in alternative and exclusion to the California police, which to be clear absolutely happened, but!

This narrative ignores how para-state communities have long distinguished weaponry for communal defense and personal use of weaponry, key example of the US being that gun control in the old west was extremely common, and often far more strict than what is proposed today. Back then you had to surrender your arms to the sheriff before you were allowed to go literally anywhere else in town, like a gun control coat check.

Literally only white Americans are capable of inventing this almost magical thinking about how great and awesome guns are and how they're nothing but great and awesome for oppressed communities and how attempts to limit their presence in society are entirely a modern abberation invented for the exclusive purpose of a lockdown of state control of the people.

Related to that: A really good video by Johnny Harris that also talks about how the idea of a militia got defined in US law: https://youtu.be/wnBDK-QNZkM

Oh and also a relevant episode of the revisionist history podcast: https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/guns-part-2-getting-out-of-dodge
