"I said a racist lie about my neighbor then committed a terrorist attack"

[–] archomrade@midwest.social 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Really seems like we're:

  • granting validity to a racist and xenophobic rumor and glorifying violence against minorities

and

  • making a poor-taste joke about a terrorist attack that happened a day ago

Maybe the meme would be funnier if disaster girl was wearing a white hood or an Israeli flag to make the motivations more clear.

and making light of the fact that absolutely everything we buy is subject to sabotage by third parties due to the loss of control of our supply chains.

Oh well, haha.

Is this making light of the terror attack?

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 27 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's making a dark joke, not making light of it.

That's just semantics.

Making a dark joke about a terrorist attack isn't very nice.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

First of all, it's never too soon.

Second, ACAB includes the joke police too.

Tell that to the World Trade Center.

Oh wait, you can't.

I've seen a couple exploding pager posts tonight. Did I miss something?

[–] sub_ubi@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 hours ago

Yeah Israel detonated consumer electronics in Lebanon, they went off in hospitals, grocery stores, schools, etc. It's the most widespread terrorist attack in history.

Hezbollah operates with pagers and walkie talkies for OPSEC reasons. Israel has been intercepting them and placing small explosives in them for God only knows how long.

This week they set a fucking ton of them off, injuring a couple thousand people and killing 8, with quite a few bystanders getting hit. Just today there was a funeral for a Hezbollah member who got killed and all the walkie talkies at the event blew up.

Israel sent explosive pagers to hesbollah.
