    Doctored Video shows British Royal Band playing Imperial March for Trump & Elizabeth

    https://twitter.com/TrueFactsStated/...28156818415617

    and it's spreading as truth like wildfire. people are parodying it with other songs covered by orchestra bands. Karma or trolling?

    So, you are saying those people spreading it are as bad as Trump about spreading fake news?

    That depends... do you think the person who posted the video thinks Star Wars is real and that the queen and Trump are part of the imperial fleet?

    The other side is just as bad! Don’t you see the OP? Now people will believe that Trump is part of the imperial fleet.

    Yeah Entertainment and News are the reason I have twitter. Not because it's accurate but because shit hits twitter before almost anywhere else, and entertainment, nonsense like this

    That's not fake news, it's just parody.

    I'd laugh if it was the queen and Obama.

    Some journalists need to hunt down the guy who made the reptilian conspiracy. That's far more damaging than a CNN gif or boozing Pelosi.

    Didn't Endus cover this already in the other thread about the difference in satire and malicious intent?

I for one am able to laugh at what others perceive as horrific and very damaging jokes. For example, I laughed my ass off listening to Crowder's litany of "offensive" words that he "apologized" for 20 minutes. Meanwhile on Twitter, people like Carlos Maza and Shaun&Jen were pearl clutching and calling on advertisers in a rather transparent attempt to start an adpocalypse.

    My assumption is that some are either born in a deeply troubling state of emotional fragility, or they are actually normal, fighter-type people that stand up for themselves in a very new and controversial way, by appealing to 3rd party entities to do their bidding, instead of direct confrontation, i.e. debate in this case, as we stopped using pistols and duels.

    IMO the right wing should give this a thought and maybe adopt this technique in a way or another, even if it means changing some "rules". After all, what's there to lose? If there's entertainment to be had, let's have some balance in it.

    A good first step would be adoption of milkshaking, which is often dismissed as inoffensive mockery. Can we have proper milkshake duels or something? Looks quite one sided at the time.
    Mischievous, but not necessarily malicious. Blazing Saddles is a damn good satire (for it's time) but I wouldn't call it "malicious." It poked gentle fun at the racism of old western movies, and is one of Mel Brook's finest movies.

    Pretty funny actually. The next time Putin visits a G7 nation, the band should bust out the Imperial March as well, or China for that matter.
