Surprise! Surprise! The elite class who start wars and sent ordinary people to their deaths at the battlefront are draft dodgers!

I dream of a world where whenever these 'leaders' and rulers declare a war, ordinary people on both sides drag them out of their castles, tie them up and throw them in an arena along with sticks, stones, knives and maces. The people can take positions along the gallery of the arena and cheer their leaders on, as the latter fight each other to their deaths. And if they refuse to do so, we can send along some wild lions and elephants for motivation.

Guillotines are far cheaper. There's a reason they're a fan favorite.

[–] intrepid@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're are quick and messy. And someone has to do it. This is way more entertaining and the problem takes care of itself.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This isn't and shouldn't be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death.

It's not enough

Creedence called it almost 60 years ago, in the best anti-war song ever and a few decades later, SoaD asked "why do they always send the poor" in one of the best ones of this millennium

Somebody put signs all over Miami with his face and some clever line about him being in Miami dodging the military

[–] Jimbel@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

That would be awesome.

Do the same with trumps family.

Controversial opinion: more young Israelis should do what this man is doing. They should say "lol fuck this shit, who wants to be fighting anyway" and move out of Israel. North American and European countries should welcome them with open arms. Anti-aliyah. Who needs a shithole apartheid bunker state anyway? Settlers move out, come live free from that shit and Free Palestine.

OTOH, the children of leaders calling for war should be the first on the front lines.

I mean, I guess I'd rather have him here than killing people? Still exposes the whole Israeli operation as a farce.

Sounds like ICE has a valid deportation target for once.

You don't hear about South American dictators fleeing to Alabama.

Easy availabilty of cocaine and hookers. Also plenty of fascists to hang out with while cultivating your melanoma.

Why don’t presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Barbarisms by Barbaras

With pointed heels

Victorious Victorias kneel

For brand new spanking deals

Marching forward, hypocritic

And hypnotic computers

You depend on our protection

Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Crazy how much the lyrics written for shit happening under W fit better with what's going on now.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago

Yeah, and especially for how popular it was back then it can be haunting to listen to old hits from bands like SOAD and RATM.

34 years old? They speak about him like a teenager

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He's the son of a Politician. They mature around 60 and reach that peak predator energy around 80.

It's funny how this reads as: look over here, look how vulnerable he is. I certainly hope something doesn't happen to him. Right. HERE.

This man chilling in Miami. Lmao. Worst part about Miami, for a trucker, ain't nothing but oranges come out of south florida

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Lol my company sent me down to Florida a couple times a year. They'd always have me wait around a day or two in the vain hope a load worth hauling would pop up. I never minded, I'd just Uber to the beach for a day. Free vacation! Unless it was Orlando, which as far as I can tell is just a swamp infected with capitalism. Never cared for Orlando...

So he is not even in Israel. How new and fresh

When do we as humanity burn the fucking authoritarian playbook to the ground along with anyone following it?

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 months ago

reportedly engaged in "non-profit charity work"

aka blackjack & hookers

[–] sen@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 months ago

Good. I genuinely hope the absolute worst happens to him.

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

Dodging military service. Maybe he has bone spurs too.

This website/source is questionable. I looked at the science section, and it feels like grocery store checkout aisle tabloid content.

There are probably better sources about this story

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Deport that

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 9 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Shitty little coward. If they ever meet, he and Trump will have something to talk about.

He sounds like like the kind of entitled loser John Wick should be hunting down.
