'Yeah, we're real big about tonal shifts around here. For instance:
We hear when you say, "NO MORE GENOCIDE"
So we keep the message but shift the tone, "No, more genocide!"'
So let's recap today's history lesson kids:
During the years 2023-2024 the savage terrorist organization Hamas slaugthered Israelis for no apparent reason, but then Israel defended itself a little too hard. A lot of people in the world at the time were concerned that Netanyahu was taking things a little too far, until the Democrat party decided with great consideration to change the tone of their presentations about Israel. This was the turning point that restored balance in the world, and the reason why we still have a pillar of democracy in the Middle East to this day.
Now a word from our sponsor AIPAC and other advertisements before it is time for you to log on to your next class.
Putting "Warp in the West" on my 2024 bingo card. Just need the simultaneous election of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump to ensure the unification of Ireland and the restoration of Palestine.
SJP freaks
I don't know what SJP stands for but I can tell Josh Marshall is being a colossal shithead here
Josh doesn't care about Palestinian children because none of them are named Angela or Strawberry
See, Biden said “It’s fine, you can do some genocide” in that tone that meant he meant it. But when Harris says it, it’s that tone that means she’s doesn’t really mean it.
Much like Trump, she thinks the genocide has taken too long and that they need to accelerate to get it out of the news.
All they hear is tone, the meaning doesn’t matter.
(Which probably isn’t actually true of dogs, but it’s an easy shorthand.)
That doesn't make sense, dogs know content of words hence why commands work. It's a cute dog but I don't understand.
You can tell a golden retriever “I hate you so much you’re such a dumb piece of shit” but in like a friendly, sing-songy tone and it’s the same to them as if you are saying “good boy, I love you”.
The joke is that libs are like that, as a politician your policy can be “fuck you stupid assholes, we don’t care about you” but if the tone is right lib voters will eat it up.
They can learn a small number of words and will be confused by even those if you say them in an different tone than the usual context the commands are given.
I mean yeah, because they go by sounds moreso than words. For humans tone can also change the meaning of words as well. I feel as confused as that dog looks.
