Fuck Dole and every family that still holds power from the coup.

For context, this was back during that stupid time when people could buy Xitter authentication.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 23 minutes ago

I don't think Xitter authentication existed in 1954...

as opposed to this stupid time when people can do that.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 60 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Xitter

My apologies, but it’s Twitter for as long as that cock-sucking, ball-gargling, butt-plug-looking, fascist-asshole-of-a-non-tax-paying illegal immigrant piece-of-shit anal-bead-wannabe motherfucker who needs to get the Hell out of our goddamned country is alive and walking free.

[–] greenskye@lemm.ee 50 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Xitter is pronounced 'shitter' I'm pretty sure

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I like to call it ex-twitter

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

That's how I will always pronounce it.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 23 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

The Gulf of America was really about Elon being salty bc we still call it Twitter, watch

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

This is not toward you at all, but what in the ever loving is he out of his goddamned mind to think his feelings matter to us at all?

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

It's funny and that's about the extent of how much it matters to us

it's pretty reasonable; everyone it interacts with puts its feelings first. material concerns rarely matter in comparison to its feelings. laws don't matter compared to its feelings. the well being of people doesn't matter in comparison to its feelings.

affluenza alienating people from reality.

He's a desperate autistic nerd who has unhealthy attitudes about love and companionship, everything he does is a cry for attention. He's honestly one of the cringiest people imaginable to me. He 100% needs people to think he's cool, which is as un-cool as it gets. The man is failing middle school social dynamics. Hell, elementary school dynamics. He's just so rich he can barge in anywhere he wants and force himself on a conversation.

It's pathetic. He's going to go down as one of the biggest fucking losers in history.

And for the record, I've got nothing against autistic nerds. I may well be one myself, and I know many. But this tool embodies the worst of it run rampant with power, and should serve as a cautionary tale.

...I'm kinda glad Lemmy is small right now because I have reason to be more cautious with my speech on public media these days. Although, if course, this will be used to crucify me later if needed.

don't worry; they don't need excuses to do that anymore. look at what they did to the guy at columbia university!

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Summed him up perfectly. Him being autistic might explain some of his traits, but it doesn't account for him being a complete cunt who knows exactly what he's doing.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Tbh people always talk about his autism, but autism is utterly irrelevant. The things he does have nothing to do with autism, and we don't even need to get into the autism defense for that matter.

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 1 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

We're calling the "Gulf of America" Twitter? Who is "we" and where the fuck is the "Gulf of America"?

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

If you image search for the abbreviated form of "Gulf of America, This Space Exactly" (GOATSE), that should clearly show where the Gulf of America is.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

where the fuck is the “Gulf of America”?

Pretty much only on Twitter

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

pretty sure that anything-but-the-truth social site and stock market sham also has mention of that name.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

Can you please not bring ball gags, butt plugs and anal beads into this topic, that's derogatory for these to be compared with that deformed mouldy balding shithead.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

You could buy Xitter authentication in 1954? 🤔

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

...isn't that still the case? They took it away, changed the color or something, and brought it back, didn't they?

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 6 points 11 hours ago

Can't people still buy the blue check?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 78 points 11 hours ago

It's true, too; Chiquita was vital in overthrowing the Guatemalan government.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

It's been 50 years, Chiquita should treat itself

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 2 points 6 hours ago

Plot twist: A whistleblower denounces that Chiquita was the major Trump campaign supporter.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's been 30 years, Chiquita should treat itself.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 31 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Chiquita is a bad exploiting brand

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 45 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

At this point you might as well just assume every corporation is shit and be pleasantly surprised when you look them up.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 32 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean, yeah, but Chiquita/United Fruit are on a whole different level. They're the ones who single-handedly destabilized a whole region, funding multinational death squads, coups and shit. That's the whole joke.

Edit: to be honest, anyone unfamiliar with this period should brush up on it. This was the last time the US truly functioned as an empire (or tried to), and the key arguments are going to be the same now as they were then.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

That's the whole joke.

It's not very funny.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

No :( it's not. The legacy is very grim, and ongoing.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago

Wanna hear a good joke?

Nobody speak, nobody get choked.

[–] oxytocin@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

It's still good to mention it, when they are mentioned. I mean, otherwise we just normalise that status.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 12 hours ago

sure; but I prefer my bananas to be slave free and traded fair :)

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

I miss the week where Twitter essentially allowed free speech for $15 before they shut it down after everyone immediately clowned on every single corporation and celebrity in existence.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago
[–] lennee@lemm.ee 5 points 11 hours ago

And thats why im not buying ur stupid bananas

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They were quite prescient, since the Brazilian coup attempt happened on Jan 8th 2023

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 5 points 8 hours ago

Well, this one was not done by them.

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Oh, not since 1954, well excuse me! :P

[–] RonnieB@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Chiquita banana, chiquita banana, Obama
