Okay great and this means… What? This reporting is gonna get MAGA people or Elon fans to suddenly realise it’s all lies? Will Elon or anyone involved with DOGE face any kind of consequence for failure? Will anything change in the face of this finding or is this yet another reminder that the rich are immune to consequence, and the willfully stupid and cruel are immune to evidence? Fantastic, happy fucking new year! 🥳

That’s fuckin awesome lol

Do security cameras pick up audio??

Oh fuck I’m a bot you got me beeeep boooop list me up

I took a look at their comments and It’s that alias_qr_rainmaker guy again!

Jesus dude, this is what you’re doing on Christmas eve? 😂

If AI is far better than humans, can you do yourself a favour, go talk to your little robot friends and leave us humans alone?

I don’t think your comment should have been removed, and I think it sucks that it was. We don’t need Lemmy turning into a boring place where everyone believes all the same stuff. If that’s gonna happen we may as well only have one dude here commenting and we’ll all just read it and agree.

Gotta be honest, the fact that it feels like every website now asks me if I want to set up a passkey makes me thoroughly, deeply, wholly skeptical of this thing.

Oh, duh lol I didn’t even think of that. Yeah, it’s double-sided, with writing on both sides, so it’s probably not a 1:1 mapping.

I think we’re talking interpretation and opinion here, and without digesting much of what you’re saying I wouldn’t be doing your time justice by responding to much of what you’re saying.

However, I want to pick up on this, which you’ve picked up on at least twice in these comments:

seriously who is Hitler and who is Stalin in this formula

I think the artist of this piece was referencing either this photo:

Or this photo:

So, if this was a direct 1:1 mapping of leaders (which I’m not convinced it is), it would follow that Putin is Stalin, and Trump is Hitler.

Judging by your other answer to the other commenter, which is pretty in depth and shows that you definitely have a clear understanding of what this illustrates and which outlines specific issues you have with this piece of art, I’d say I’m probably not gonna be able to teach you much of anything if that’s what you’re even looking for mate.

To my mind, there’s probably not one specific meeting or moment that this piece is analogising as the modern Trump/Putin version of the Molotov-Ribbentrop, but the continued “peace talks” wherein Trump and Putin seem to collaborate to sell Ukraine down the river.

As I don’t believe there’s a “modern” pact, I can’t answer your second question or third question directly, but can say that there were various territories which seemingly had agency removed from them in the aftermath of the historical MR pact, like Poland, being invaded by Germany and USSR.

I think that dovetails a little with how it feels Ukraine is being treated at the moment by Trump and Putin.

I think there’s certainly enough here to warrant this metaphor working, even if it’s not a direct 1:1 mapping.

So yes, you missed the clue that might’ve led to you googling and finding that it refers to the Molotov Ribbentrop, and are now being very defensive 😂 Merry Christmas bud ✌️

Did your eyes totally glaze over the obviously non-English word “Pakt” in the middle of that quote? 😂😂

Guess the bank account was looking a bit empty 🤷‍♂️

You can totally start now. Although, and maybe this is just a me thing, I’d feel like a massive bellend if I referred to something that happened in, for instance, 2021 as “in '21”.

I think I’d feel okay with “'01”, through to “'09”, then the teens feel weird again but only because it just feels weird to refer to a year as small as like… “'13”… although I don’t have that same problem with the naughties, maybe that’s because of the added “oh” making it seem like more than just a number? And then the twenties feel like big enough numbers to abbreviate but, yeah, again, I’d feel like a tool.

Just don’t add the surveillance and spam features in the first place. 👍 Fuck off, Mozilla.
