Drip too hard

Psych: "Ok so you're here because *checks notes* digestive on twitter didn't like the outfit you wore at the Youth parliament."

Girl: "Yes."

Psych: "Well that's not an illness so..."

Charlie Simp: "STOP RIGHT THERE, I SENT HER HERE SO YOU CAN FIX HER!"

Psych: "Fix her?"

Charlie Simp: "MAKE HER NORMAL!!!"

Psych: "Normal how."

Simp: "Make her look and act like how I demand people do! You know, long hair, normal make up, normal fashion..."

Psych: "So remove all individuality from her?"

Charlie Simp: "STOP RIGHT THERE, I SENT HER HERE SO YOU CAN FIX HER!"

Psych: you want a session here?

[–] Noobnarski@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Maybe he has had all individuality removed and now he cannot understand why anyone would have it.

Young person has eccentric dress sense.

Right wing chud, catatonic with rage: "WE NEED TO MAKE THIS ILLEGAL".

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

i like saying that history doesn't repeat, it rhymes...

but bloody hell, this is literally the exact same thing we get every single generation

"those young people, completely indecent, just look at the way they dress! their hair! the music they listen to! this technology they use! what will become of them. When i was young i was perfectly obedient and listened to my elders." you could attritbute that sentence to any era of human history and you'll be correct, literally all the way back to the beginning of written history this rings true

Socrates complained about how the youths depend on paper and books too much. And since then little has changed but the exact thing the olds complain about

I lived in Wales for a year a few years back. Actually colored hair was way more common over there when I was there. Even in older adults.

Had teachers with pink hair in their 60s.

Tattoos also more common. I recall one of the professors lookee like a Goth girl. She also gave me mediocre grades on everything I submitted to her. 😅

Septum piercing. Always wore black. And long jet black hair. She also told us how to pirate research papers and textbooks on day one. In a power point.

Idk. The culture there was just more chill about alternative style. At least while I was there.

I was in Swansea.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 29 minutes ago

I submitted to her

Should've domned her instead

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

maybe it's Wales, maybe it's just academia. smart people are usually capable of figuring out that self expression no matter how eccentric is harmless and simply brings colour to the world

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 hours ago

Why? Its just a picture, what did she say?

[–] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

That necklace is cool

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 7 hours ago

Great insights there from "Charlie Simp"

Obviously in training to suck up to Farage and his ilk. Fortunately I've never heard of him before so he's obviously not very good at it.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 31 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If you replace "woke" with "human rights", you understand what these people are talking about.

These people hate basic human right.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

They hate freedom of expression and want everyone to live how they demand.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Literally these people think freedom of expression equals with buying Levis jeans and Adidas shoes, because they heard they were hard to come by in the Soviet Bloc.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Free speech is just one humen right they hate. They also hate based on gender, color of the skin, being poor, religion and even basic decency

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 117 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Internal monologue: "I'm scared of them because they are cooler than me, and maybe even smarter."

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 56 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe smarter? The average one brain cell orange cat is smarter than this guy.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

I think you got that wrong, the leading theory is that the orange cats all share one brain cell. Still would be true though.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 27 points 14 hours ago

Keep in mind, it's his words in his head. Of course he thinks HE is smart.

I think the issue is that young lady with the headscarf. The poster is just trying to pretend it’s about hair colour, but it’s about skin colour

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 75 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I would guess that it's more because there are three people in the shot and they are all young women, and two of those young women look slightly different than the OP wants them to look (one has dyed hair and one has a scarf).

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 2 hours ago

Y CANT THEY B MORE LIKE THAT NICE MRS THATCHER???! 🤬🤬🤬

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

Could also be that he thinks what they're saying is insane or something

[–] riskable@programming.dev 12 points 11 hours ago

A normal person sees cool hair but a conservative is only seeing red.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 61 points 15 hours ago

god forbid the children have style

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Youth parliament, model UN, all those places, they have always been great places to meet smart girls. Just wish teenage me had just a little more game.

IME theater is often where the cute (but often vapid / overly ambitious in a bad way) girls are (some smart ones behind the scenes tho)

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 35 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Why woke when you can sleep like sheep?

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Sheep are fine. You wouldn't want to be one, but those who are, can serve a purpose. It's the smeagels like this guy that are the problem.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

IDK, you could make a pretty good argument that we have way too many sheep nowadays. The "smeagels" are kind of useless without herds of sheep who follow them.

[–] mr_account@lemmy.world 15 points 14 hours ago

Tweet by Charlie Simp, huh?🤔

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago

I fucking love seeing women with partially dyed hair. YOU GO GIRL!

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 10 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Says some incel cosplaying a dusty old wanker that thought both David Bowie and Elton John were cool AF.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I know very little of UK politics, what is that group for/against?

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 17 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

It's essentially a model parliament, but one that gets contact with the actual government. Under-18s fight for election and hold debates in the same manner as the House of Commons

No, I have absolutely no idea how this makes it "woke" beyond that some people just use the word to mean "thing I don't like"

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 13 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Fascists don't like democracy, probably. Especially not for women and minorities.

[–] vrek@programming.dev -2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not really against but I think instead we should just ban anyone over 60 from voting...

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure he's just some edgy teenager.

He probably spent most of last month hanging flags upside down on lamp posts, and calling himself patriotic, it's the sort of thing people like him do. Everyone else calls him a prat

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The funny thing is that the Union Jack is not quite symmetrical. You can hang it upside down, but it takes a very trained eye to see it’s upside down.

That’s part of why ships fly a solid red flag with a Union Jack quarter, so it’s readily apparent when they are in distress.

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The point is: the people hanging them on lampposts don't know that, hence half of them being upside down.

To be fair, as somebody who has put flags on lampposts, it's slightly difficult to coordinate the flag orientation when you're at the top of a ladder.

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

I’m sorry it looks like I misunderstood your comment.

Over here people put flags upside down on purpose, so that was my frame of reference.

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

No worries, here's some context on the lamppost thing if you're interested
