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
What’s with all this communist propaganda on Lemmy? Is it kids posting it?
I hope somebody bigger and stronger than the arsehole that did this brutalizes them in a similar fashion.
