Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

His only lasting legacy other than a whole heap of people dead from COVID.

Seriously what’s with the guys hair? Like use a comb, you’re the PM of fucking Britain. You look like a boomer trying to cosplay as Jim from the office.

doesn't he intentionally look and act the clown to distract from his horrible policies? intended or not, it seems to be working

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 38 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, it’s all calculated to hide that he’s part of the privileged ass elite. Even down to using the name Boris Johnson instead of his real name, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 32 points 10 months ago

lol are you fucking serious? What a turd of a man.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

Pfeffel

this is a real close approximation of the noise i made when i read that goofy french baron ass name

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's intentional as part of his strategy which is to look and act like a buffoon so he can get away with heinous shit while the British public thinks he's just harmless and goofy.

And it fucking worked...

BuJu sounds like a dragonball zed villain

That's not hair, it's a Mi-go fungi parasite colony.

And it's starving to death because its primary diet is brains

They say it so much, that's how you know it's not true.

To paraphrase Goebbels: "A lie repeated often enough immediately makes you think of Goebbels"

It's really weird when they print something we've said for so long so directly

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Especially when so many people were telling me how I'm a cooky conspiracy theorist for believing it.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

There's definitely that too, but here I think it's more about the value judgement. "Ukraine should have negotiated a surrender at the start from a position of relative strength? What, are you a Putinist? Do you want every Ukrainian to DIE?" goes to "Yeah, maybe fighting to the last Ukrainian in a war we never could have won wasn't the best thing from a humanitarian standpoint."

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Do you want every Ukrainian to DIE?

And in the next breath "Ukraine will fight to the last ukrainian! Slava Ukrain- What's that? No why would I volunteer? It's not my war to fight"
