augustus pugin 🌖>Roseanne Barr elicited criticism in July 2009 when she posed as Adolf Hitler in a feature for the satirical Jewish publication Heeb magazine called "That Oven Feelin'".[79][80] The Nazi theme was her suggestion, and featured her with a Hitler mustache and swastika arm-band, holding a tray of burnt gingerbread man cookies the article referred to as "burnt Jew cookies".[81] yooo
@augustus the whole Roseanne thing is so stupid. Literally every Jewish comedian in america has elaborate Nazi routines. That's not the issue at all, the issue is her vague support for trump. I hate these lies so much.
Also liked Michael Malice's remark that it's a strange world where Roseanne looks hotter than Madonna.
@feld@lain@augustus I saw that, it's not clear if she was making some kind of a point that didn't land, it didn't even make sense in context of the conversation.
@lain@augustus anyway my reason for posting this isn't the usual slam on silverman even though she's a massive hypocrite but just that yeah the media's super selective when it wants to get outraged about nazism references
> The 2000 presidential election exposed a surprisingly high level of inaccuracy in the tabulation of ballots. Differences between total ballots cast and votes counted were as high as 19 percent in some counties in Florida, and these discrepancies were widely attributed to the ballot formats, the handling of ballots, and machine operations.
these weren't like all-digital voting machines, they're Optiscan. Basically the same shit they use to grade standardized tests, right?
I knew I scored better in grade school. I fucking knew it.
@Moon@augustus@lain some years after the latest election there were videos about it. I think symathec or whatever you spell the norton company still has one up about how the machines ain't secure. I'm pretty sure John Oliver and co had videos around then too and some of these has been quietly deleted
@coolboymew@Moon@lain I was looking up old Alex Jones clips one time to find Joe Rogan appearances from like 2006 and it was funny because both of them were discussing voting machines being bogus and it was the exact same conversations they were having in 2021 too
@feld@lain@augustus completely different, the butterfly ballot issue was simply that the design of specific machines (mechanical, not even electronic) used mainly in florida fucking sucked and the ballot could get misaligned in the machine and get punched for the wrong candidate. the diebold concern was that electronic voting machines didn't have audit trails and the machines were incredibly easy to hack and had basically no security and very poor code.
it's not the same as optiscan or scantron, literally holes were punched in the paper, optiscan and scantron read filled-in dots.
I actually have a ton of professional experience with this. a properly run system can detect misaligned sheets because you run a specific kind of test that sees if data "looks" misaligned, because it is a thing that can happen for various reasons.
I agree it’s confusing, but confusing in a way that makes it even less offensive and detractors even less sincere. It’s obvious she’s being sarcastic and the only confusing part is whatever she possibly meant about the election
@feld@augustus@lain another fun fact, lawrence lessig was a super big "these machines can totally be hacked this is super bad" guys because he cared so much about democracy, then in 2016 he did a tour around to try to convince presidential electors to not pledge for trump even if trump won the pledges. it's important to ask people how they define democracy when they say they want to protect it, because they might be traitorous pieces of shit.
@augustus@feld@lain fair criticism, electoral system is arguably not democracy but he literally was arguing for doing the exact thing that people criticize it for not being a democracy.
Yes, but journos then claimed that building doesn’t have a basement, and that the basement in question was at a different facility. But the comments on the post are bizarre and sus af nonetheless.
@thendrix@feld@lain@augustus after watching the MM podcast with Barr, I looked at her wikipedia, and found the amazing weasel words:
>Barr claimed that George Soros helped Nazis to round up Jews to be sent to concentration camps. In reality, his assimilated father entrusted him to a Hungarian official with whom the 14-year-old Soros went to inventory a Jewish property.
>went to inventory a Jewish property.
What an anti-semite, antagonizing a jew who only "went to inventory a Jewish property."
From the 1998 interview on 60 Minutes: Interviewer: "My understanding is, is that you went out with this protector of yours, who swore that you were his adopted godson, went out, in fact, and helped in confiscation of property from the jews." Soros: That's right, yes.
How dare she complain about George Soros and his... inventorying....
@lain@feld@augustus I saw that as well, she was clearly listing a bunch of claims she does not believe in sarcasm, to emphasize the craziness of a thing she was describing. I even thought at the time "oh boy, someone's going to take that out of context".
To claim that it was unironic is disingenuous gaslighting.
She’s the Andy Ngo of the jews. They’re allowed to attack this specific member of the minority group to get all their racism out. Just leftists things.
@Moon@augustus@lain yes I agree voting machines are terrible but anyone famous criticizing voting machines is not really saying that they're bad, they're saying that this particular election is not what they want
@animeirl@augustus@lain voting machines are actually bad though but it would have taken extraordinary effort to have explited that to swing the election, both in 2000 and 2020
