Are they pointing towards a sad mural of Musk?

Okay, the pizza thing is apparently a pedo dogwhistle (which is part of why Qanon went nuts about the existence of pizza restaurants) but why is Bill Gates mpreg?

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 18 points 1 day ago

"Cheese pizza" has been slang/a euphemism for child pornography (due to the initials being the same, "cp") since at least 2010. I wouldn't call it a dog whistle.

Maybe you know it as common fact for some reason but also

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_whistle_(politics)

It communicates a specific message to a specific group in a way meant to pass unnoticed to the larger public without further context. It's literally a textbook example.

Unless you want to argue that anyone talking about cheese pizza in public is obviously a pedo because it's clearly the dominant and assumed meaning?

I'm just saying the term has been around for a while and felt more like a euphemism than a dog whistle to me in how people used it.

I mean, dog whistles are a kind of euphemism by definition, and I've literally never seen anyone but Epstein in his emails use cheese pizza to directly mean CP or victims.

If you're seeing it that much as a casual euphemism you really need to ask yourself some questions about the people saying it and why you're hanging around them.

Literally the use of pizza imagery as code for pedo stuff was one of the central claims of the qanon pizza gate conspiracy. Seems like other than it not being in the basement of a pizza place with no basement they had most of it right, strangely enough.

I heard edgy teenagers making jokes about it in highschool over a decade ago. It's not something I hear on a daily basis.

[-] JustAGuy@lemmy.org 0 points 4 hours ago

Probably a nod at the cyphers they use. could be acronym or key replacement?

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Why would a random grafitti mural have anything deeper than a jab at the common use of the term cheese pizza for csam, and the whole pizzagate mess?

[-] JustAGuy@lemmy.org 0 points 3 hours ago

Bc if they use key shift cyphers they can say one thing and mean another, but it only looks one way. Its a fantastic and simple way to hide messages.

Always love a George Carlin quote. He’d be on another level of rage if he were still alive.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

I also appreciate that all of these motherfuckers look appropriately ghoulish, a bummer though that only Andrew really has suffered any major consequences. Even Maxwell is, seemingly, living it up in her prison cell.

Put it on a Tshirt!

I think Trump is more of the sub in this situation, he claimed in an email to Epstein that he may or may not have sucked Bill's dick.

Fun fact, Bill Clinton is suing the DOJ and asking for a full release of the files, has been for months. I feel like if there were a lot of damning evidence against Bill in there then it would have come to light by now.

[-] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 hours ago

It's a political maneuver. He's betting on there being less bad about him than about GOP and that they'll refuse anything that allows stuff to potentially be public outside their direct control and won't push too hard on him as a consequence.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 3 hours ago

He is suing

For the release of ALL FILES.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 73 points 1 day ago

Imagine that mural in the US, the former land of the free. Trump would probably send his GeStaPo immediately to take down the terrorists who painted this.

They haven't come after me...yet. Here's the front of my house ON THE HIGHWAY.

If anybody is wondering who the artist is, it appears to me to be @lushsux it looks like his style. I say appears because I am not going to instagram to verify lol

[-] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago

It's Scotty Marsh

He's a Sydney legend for his work

[-] grapefruittrouble@lemmy.zip 3 points 13 hours ago

awesome good to know. much better work than lushsux…

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 4 points 17 hours ago

Marsh has a lot of shit ideas even if his art is sometimes on point, lushsux in the other hand, i have nothing nice to say about, always painting 'controversial' people, for years he's been doing musk, trump, pewdipie, you name it

but at least we got this a few years back

(one of lushsux's pieces with sarcastic 'wow this is so good, you're such an amazing artist' written over the top, it was pretty controversial at the time (2021))
