This is not petty.

It is divesting from stupidity.

Mate how old is this meme, that's ex-president Shinzo Abe and he's been dead for 4 years.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 127 points 12 hours ago

He’s been pretending to be dead for four years to avoid talking to Donald.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Faked getting doohickey'd just so he wouldn't have to talk to that bag of shit.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 8 hours ago

Turns out we are all dead inside, and the call was coming from inside the house.

And the real journey was the awkward silences we had along the way

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago

Nah man, it’s brand new. See Shinzo Abe wanted so very little to talk to Trump he escaped to a whole different plane of existence.

My Next Life as a Reincarnated President in Another World Where I Don't Have to Talk to Trump Vol. 1

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 hours ago

With slimes. And catgirl assassins.

The final episode is Trump dying and being reincarnated into Abes world.

... as his rival in a magical academy where rank is determined by monthly spellcasting tournaments

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

Trump always "wins" because his stupid rambling keeps messing up others' spells and their concentration. When he falls asleep mid-fight and loses, he whines around until he "wins"

My Grandma So Gordo Make A Casa Roll

[-] Klear@piefed.world 19 points 11 hours ago

It's Tom Petty ... because Tom Petty fucking hated Republicans since Reagan (and maybe earlier, he probably hated Nixon too).

[-] GasMaskedLunatic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 14 hours ago

I'd do the same thing tbh

[-] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 14 hours ago

While I support this I'm uninformed, how good is her English? Are we talking broken enflish she learned in grade school or basically natively fluent?

[-] RandomHugs@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Do you think that she works at an American Chinese food joint? She's an highly ranked politician, of course she knows English. Better than you and me both, probably.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 8 hours ago

I mean, look up the current PM Sanae Takaichi speaking English. It's functional, but... not good.

[-] vrek@programming.dev 7 points 8 hours ago

It makes sense she would but many international ceos don't speak English so it's not a given. I'd rather know then assume.

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 hours ago

That's not obvious, first ladies (or male equivalent) may enter politics for the first time when their partner gets elected

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Isnt she basically a far right fascist?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 hours ago

Japan has demonstrated that they are very progressive and welcoming of foreign ideas and concepts. And also totally not racist.

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 42 points 13 hours ago

Akie became popularly known as the "domestic opposition party" due to her outspoken views, which often contradicted her husband's.[4] Akie is also known as a supporter of sexual minorities and the LGBT community. On 27 April 2014, she joined the gay pride parade in Tokyo to show her support for broader rights to Japan's LGBT community.[5] In 2015, she was photographed standing in a field of cannabis plants promoting the revival of the cannabis culture in Japan.[6]

Doesn't sound that fascist.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 32 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Oh I did not read carefully and thought this was about the current pm/president of Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanae_Takaichi, who basically opposes all of that.

Shitposting about geopolitics, diplomacy, and current events for shits and giggles

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain bad diplomacy takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong elsewhere.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about international diplomacy. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or talk about military tactics or equipment. There are other places for that.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Please leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NonCredibleDiplomacy exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
