Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I'm assuming someone already did that weird butterfly meme with "Is this Israel?".


Possibly a nation's twitter account.

On one hand Israel is a grotesque apartheid state but on the other dank memes.

In conclusion Israel is a land of contrasts.

It’s a clever PR comment not approval of an apartheid state committing genocide even when fighting with a state that’s calling for their 100% destruction. Both countries can go to hell.

Something about saying someone assassinated on a hotel balcony 'gave their life' and 'sacrificed' just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe I'm just reading things in a weird way, but I feel that saying someone 'gave their life' would require a bit more specific intent into the cause of his death. e.g. some dying from smoke inhalation after running into a burning building 'gave their life' while someone who got killed by a drunk driver had 'their life taken'.

Maybe I'm just splitting hairs over nothing.

King knew that someone would probably assassinate him and kept going anyway. Just because he didn't know that specific time and place and person doesn't mean he didn't willfully risk his life for his cause.

Wasn't trying to say that he didn't risk his life, or that he didn't dedicate his life to the cause, or anything like that. Just that referring to someone assassinated as 'sacrificed' kinda whitewashes the fact that someone decided to murder them.

He absolutely sacrificed in life, but not in death. He got murdered. His life was taken.

Does this make sense, or am I just having the worst takes? Maybe it's just me not wanting to give the shulkster the benefit of the doubt.

I hate to give She-huck any credit, but "sacrificed his life" puts more emphasis on King's actions and less on the killer's.

Not really seeing that it whitewashes he was murdered by using language that emphasizes his courage.

Also we use this exact phrasing to describe people who were killed by other people all the time, dead troops for example.

Love dunking on the she-huck but there's nothing to this one.

That picture is atrocious enough by itself, why would they feel like they need to fill up their bingo card by pretending the dumb white power handsign is in there as well, especially when that wasn't a thing among mainstream white supremacists until a lot later?
