That's rich coming from John Cleese, he was on the side of fucking over the peaceful state of international relatioships when it came to brexit, supporting the pricks that he's now criticizing.

He should just fuck off to the cayman islands and shut up. He cashed in all his Monty Python/Fawlty Towers goodwill when he became Basil

I feel thats two different things though. You can be an asshole about European union but still dislike Trumps antics.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 48 points 2 months ago (18 children)

Still an asshole in the end. Assholes disliking another asshole doesn't make them less of an asshole.

"Deep down, I want to be a Cambodian police woman. Is that allowed, or am I being unrealistic?"

John Cleese on trans people

(He's definitely an asshole about more than the EU)

There's a big difference between supporting fascists and dictators, and supporting the UK shooting it's own dick off.

But yeah, people shouldn't support either.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

well, supporting one leads to strengthening the other. a fuckload of brexit propaganda money came from russia, which should make it suspect.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

He spent most of his adult life dodging taxes -- no surprise that he would be pro-brexit.

Don't get to serious about membership. Trump just wants you to pay the membership fee.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

Literally how Mar-a-Lago works. He wants people to pay him to make a rich boys' club for heads of state because all the other ones aren't money to him based. They're just about how much money does the country have, like the G8.

I think it’s that AND I suspect they allow corporations to join and that will legitimize corporations being as powerful as countries which allows dark enlightenment folks to have their corpo nation states

It's always a grift.

Blue checkmarks fund Nazis and pedophiles

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 2 months ago

Being on Twitter funds Nazis and pedophiles.

[–] Imhotep@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure we needed John Cleese's acknowledgment, but yes it's a good joke

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

All I know is: when a Python compliments your joke, you may have just peaked. Whoever wrote that needs to print it, frame it, and perhaps have it signed.

The world is going to end in nuclear hell fire, isn't it?

[–] JackBinimbul@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

More likely to be economic collapse at this point.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ecological collapse, triggering economic collapse, triggering open conflict, triggering nuclear fires.

I should place a bet on a prediction market. ;)

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why bother. The money on that bet wont be worth anything if it comes true.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For the ego of genocidal pedofile patriarchal narcissists.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yep! If you didn't saw china was just today talking about "protecting the world's south"...

It's literally a joke on all of us. "Bored of peace" is what 47 is saying.

[–] babyfarmer@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

It might be a joke, but this shit is not funny.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

Trump is doing the war crimes too, hopefully he's on that list soon.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 15 points 2 months ago

This one follows SciFi themes in which the most militant, oppressive, and intractable force is often called the peacekeepers.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

it would be three if Europe had a spine.

[–] metallic_z3r0 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Something's uncanny about Putin here, is this a body double, AI, a much older photo, or has he had some work done recently?

[–] pipes@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

Looks like the photo is about 12 years old, I put the link on TinEye and one of the earliest appearances is this April 2014 article:

Axis of Evil 2.0

Board of Murdering Shitbags!

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 3 points 2 months ago

It's not a joke.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The new Axis of evil and the rise of the Turd Reich? Is it time to ask Canada and Mexico to back an American resistance movement yet?
