That’s just it, it wasn’t a joke but rather particularly vile propaganda pushed onto a meme thread under the pretext of it being “just a joke”.
No, the “size” in “exercise” is not pronounced the same as “seize” - if you’re pronouncing them the same then you’re mispronouncing one or both. It’s /saɪz/ vs /siːz/, resp. And yeah, I’m going to try to move my account to a non-communist instance, seeing what can only be misguided teens and preteens praising these criminals has got real old. I set this account up 2+ years ago not realising this was a pro-Russian instance.
Those two words aren’t homophones: size and seize are pronounced very differently (and the second syllable of “exercise” is “er”). It wouldn’t be funny even if there was wordplay involved: communists have killed millions of my and wife’s people and set our countries back for generations to come.
That’s not an example of wordplay and it’s definitely not funny
Great as in nicely edited, compelling in a Michael Moore way. I just rewatched it and think I know which scene you mean. They could’ve left more of his contortions in, fair enough, but he gets an awful lot of airtime besides. How is Walsh a grifter? I only know him from this documentary and the interview that led me to it.
I hope somebody bigger and stronger than the arsehole that did this brutalizes them in a similar fashion.
