I have never understood the "strong man" motif. This dude is obviously unfit for any sort military function (dudes fat). I don't know why people think this looks tough. I don't think it makes you look tough, I think it makes whatever your trying to project look worse.

Bush wore a fucking flight suit for the "Mission Accomplished" briefing. lmao.

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Would have been cooler IMO if he came out of the jet in an actual suit

Fascism is reality distorting.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

He did a pogrom so he's a forever strong man for indian fascists.

At least maybe fewer people will die in war, if you can just give up after brief losses and say "oh we won actually, nothing materially changed but we won."

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

The BJP will only use this to boost their own popularity and oppress minorities more freely.

this new wave of fascists certainly make themselves look quite pathetic don't they.

the post-truth era affords us some pretty out there stuff in the name of the tackiest of appearances. while sometimes being completely detached from reality altogether.

corporations really did ruin the internet in ways we couldnt possibly predict.

i wonder how could we ever wake up and take back the people this ad works on.

Throw all the people currently in charge of content algorithms for literally every social media into the deepest darkest oubliette until they suffocate in their own shit, and then fix the algorithms so that they don't promote fascist shit. Easy

[–] Amberskin 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Cannot be done.

Just ban algorithmic weighing in social networks.

No ‘recommended for you’. No ‘you may be interested in’. Just a chronological timeline, a subscription/following feature and a search function.

Weird, China seems to not have a problem with fascist content proliferating

and throwing the engineers of the current fascism pipeline into a dark hole is very much doable

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

in my country, fascist think tanks were actually paying a historically high amount of money for us social media to promote fascism.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well, they did put an exploding jet on the poster.

Where is the trailer for this movie?

Edit: The first O in Sindoor looks like a planet. It's a new Star War, I take it?

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Operation Cinder in the new Star War canon was when the Empire starting doing random planet wide genocide after the Emperor died.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's going on with the central little sillouete? No hands?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just assume every picture like this is AI slop now yea

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

It's really the aesthetics of fascism

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

India is denying that they lost any fighter jets, including their infamous Rafale fighter jets, calling all the pics of the downed jets as photoshopped. Even though an anonymous French official admitted to CNN that there was atleast 1 Rafale lost in the clash.

Even in the 2019 clash, where there was undeniable proof that India lost the air battle, because their mig pilot was captured alive and paraded to the media. The pilot was returned back to India, but India spun it around as a returning hero, because they claimed that before the mig pilot was shot down, he fired his missile and took down a Pakistani F-16l, this is a Bollywood action movie script. Oh wait, they actually made Bollywood movie on this pilot lmao.

-Tthought this current clash has cooled down, but a terrorist attack just happened in Balochistan Pakistan. A bus was bombed with deaths including children. Balochistan Seperatists are responisble, but these seperatists/terrorists are most likely tied to India's RAW and/or CIA, because these groups have killed a lot of Chinese engineers working on the CPEC project.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

The Indian military admitted days ago that we've lost jets.

I will say, at least they didn't make him jacked like the Trump imagery.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is the average vegetarian supremacist build in India so it's considered good.

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't blame the vegetables for this. This is all ghee's doing.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Lentils and ghee haz enuff protein!!

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Actually this is a good idea. Ireland should have 10 day victory celebrations for anti-thatcher-action every year

[–] ANarcoSnowPlow@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

"Mission Accomplished"

Someone saw the pic of W and was like "wow, this seems like it went really well, let's do that"

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

Did the conflict even last 10 days?

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does this victory celebration mean that the war is over and they are going to stop escalating toward Armageddon?

Yeah there was a ceasefire last week

[–] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 week ago

Mission accomplished! And uh, good luck with going to war against a nuclear armed country where their religion is all about martyrdom. No way that can end badly

[–] TommyBeans@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Who’s the pudgy old man playing war hero? Looks like AI slop

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

That looks like Modi the prime minister.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

A lot of signs/posters are in English in India

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Colonial legacy.

[–] shath@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

you fucking ate it dickheads

India and Pakistan are both declaring victory which is how the conflict can be over after 4 days

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

A day of celebration for every jet lost.

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Another thing is that "sindoor" is used for religious marriage rituals, which makes this shit even more confusing.

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Its because men were targeted in the civilian attack by LoK in Pahalgam.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Ooof, couldn't even be bothered to make real art, look at that terrible AI logo
