dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Cheers, lad...

But just as a heads up...

There are a lot of foreign policy takes here, which ye may see as too Anti-Western... you'll have to live with it here...

[–] archomrade@midwest.social 33 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No worries, I haven't seen any anti-western sentiment here that wasn't warranted.

Just wait until they start talking about the Fr*nch 💀

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

Pretty much warranted until shots are fired at pastries or culinary standards and procedures.

Notice the 2nd person pronouns? Tis small warning...

That whole comm is total brain damage. There's like 3-4 power users who come up with the worst DNC memes that are basically just paid trolls. I suspect they make their memes deliberately poorly to get more engagement. And then there's the masses that understand that both candidates are pro-genocide and still think voting is the most important thing.

The nuance meme editor is utterly psychotic.

I have been accused of being a Russian troll so many times that I involuntarily gag when I see it used against someone else, but honest to God I have no alternative theories for some of them. They seem to have intimate state department knowledge of revolutionary activity in the red sea but somehow have no idea why the US is so interested in keeping Israel as an ally.

Its like what I imagine waterboarding would feel like.

Its election season and paid troll farms are a thing in the US too. It could also be that they're self organized on some discord or matrix room. Either way they behave identically to shills.

call them a Cold Warrior

nice vintage insult with appropriate historical baggage. yankees are allergic to historical context

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The power users are also trying to keep those they ~~disagree with~~ are tired of constantly having to correct banned from posting in other world comms.

And one dude wanting to ban them from other instances

totally against any censorship though

In a way they're running the ML playbook to try to purge Lemmy of any leftism. You see the same tactics. Their nuanced rational for on Biden is "yes he's doing genocide but Trump will do more genocide so Critical Support for Biden. And then, of course, silence any criticism of Biden, because that's counter productive to supporting Biden.

God I hate that comm. But at least you almost got someone to entirely block your instance because of you?
