People who make politics their identity ain’t funny. None of them are. No exceptions.
They are bitter people living in rage. Doesn’t matter what faction.
Oh how many comments I have seen on Lemmy from lefties suggesting death or violence upon right wing people. Horse shoe theory is not a theory. Tjeu should just get together and fuck or something.

Just yesterday I had a conversation here with a self-described communist who thought the entire American middle class should be murdered by a mob for being part of a capitalist society that exploits poorer nations.
So I would categorize that as a leftist on Lemmy suggesting death or violence on people. Not only right wing, either.
Yes [the Kulaks did deserve being killed], and if a mob of the third world’s poor rose up and killed middle class Americans (self included) we would very much deserve it too. My recognition of this simple reality is why I’m a communist, and your denial of it is why you cling so tightly to liberalism.
I’m glad you linked source. Counter to what I perceive your intentions were, it actually shed light on how dishonest you had been in your representation of that previous comment as a part of the bigger conversation you’d had in that other thread - I’m only left to assume that you had hoped that nobody would read the source conversation in full and would instead see the basic presence of the URL and accept your own POV as fact.
Frankly, I think you should be a bit ashamed that you tried to misrepresent ALL OF THAT INVOLVED CONVERSATION in the other thread with little-no larger context presented. All for an attempt at some minor “win” in this unrelated thread?
To the dishonesty, YOU are actually the one who introduced the original premise of the “middle class being murdered” and in response, this person (in a bit of a passionate response, sure) engaged to reinforce a point they had been otherwise making throughout that fuller conversation - that American “success” in capitalism is zero sum, it always thrives on the backs of a set of conveniently ignored victims (throughout the third world especially). It IS something that we in the US conveniently ignore each and every day in the perceived “success” of capitalism, like averting your eyes and stepping over a houseless person to buy an $8 coffee. On a human level, yes, that is a horrible indefensible choice many of us make consistently to preserve a higher level of personal comfort when we could choose to do otherwise. The quiet guilt that the “wonders” of capitalism rightly have is why reagan had to make that famous speech where he told yuppies something akin to, “You don’t need to feel ashamed for owning your own fancy, personal swimming pool”
I don’t agree with every position of that other poster, but there is definitely nuance here worth discussion every day - especially as the people who probably benefit the most (are a global level) from this broken system.
It is a truly rare thing that you get someone actually educated and involved enough with a counter position to engaged in meaningful debate - for you to then betray that here by trying to reduce that entire interaction to your singular misrepresentation of a flawed point that you originated yourself ONLY makes the reader walk away with a deeper consideration of your opponent’s positions and a dismissal of your own assertions.
Got brigaded I guess. Went from upvoted to downvoted pretty fast. Intence community. Guess there’s some radical discord or something. Enjoy your politics.
Memes are about dumb jokes, the reason political cartoons and political memes aren’t funny is because the second you bring politics in you brutally murder comedy. Not saying politics dont belong in comedy, but when the comedy is the vehicle to push your agenda, you get dumbshit like this.
Sounds like a dumbass problem to me. Kid has some funny lines.
More importantly though, the space exists for both, apolitical memes and political alike. My point with the previous comment is that these kinds of small, digestible, somewhat funny but really more poignant pieces have been around since politics have. Once again, they’re called political cartoons. They’ve been co-opted into practically every form of comedy throughout history. This is nothing new to memes.
Ohh yeah, for sure, you have no argument there lol.
The best thing about comedy and pretty much everything is, it’s subjective and my opinion of it can’t destroy your opinion of it and vice versa. At least you were chill about it lol.
The child presents as “gee whiz, aww shucks mister” and then his words are increasingly harsh and abrupt (coincidentally, they are also true). The juxtaposition in the child’s presentation is objectively funny.
If the precocious little guy was here right now, he’d probably be eating a giant novelty lollipop and asking you if you brush your teeth every time you get done licking those boots.
Doesn’t actually seem like you think at all, just react - likely because you or someone you know is a cop and you’re either in denial of the bigger known reality of cops at scale or you simply lack the basic empathy to consider any experience outside of your own first hand account of the world.
You know what’s funny about this, you arrogantly assume that because I think its a shit joke I must be a bootlicking cop fucker who sucks every cops dick.
I just think its a shit joke you dumb fuck, but you ultra lefty cunts need to vilify anyone who says anything vaguely against your precious idealistic views, if yours so god damn ACAB, go punch a cop you cowards.
Its people like you that are making lives hard for actual caring left leaning people to make some sort of change, you lot are the lefts equivalent to MAGA and I can’t wait for both sides to die out.
Man its a shit joke, get over yourself and go punch a cop if you’re king of ACAB, I’m done with your projection, I think the jokes dumb, get over it you dumb cunt. Fuckin this is why people hate the left now, YOUR ATTACKNG SOMEONE WHO HATES COPS YOU RETARD, but no you gotta protect your dumb meme fucking retards everywhere here.
Block me ban me I dont care I’m done with you and your shit.
Aren’t memes supposed to be funny?
It’s funny because the (far) left vilifies the police and then goes all surprised Pikachu when they turn out to not be manned by far left people.
Idealism in all honor, but you’re not gonna change the system without being in control of the current power structures.

feel better about yourself after typing all that worthless schlock?
Huh?
Sniff your own farts harder.
“Everything I don’t like or understand is lefties!!! Objective, verifiable reality is lefties!!! The consequences of my own actions are lefties”

I’m going to guess, reading between the lines here… “Just yesterday I had a conversation (that I didn’t have) with a real person (who doesn’t exist)”
If only that were true. But sadly, no. Here’s a link, I think: https://lemmy.world/comment/10693493
I’ll direct you to the key paragraph:

At you, not with you, so everyone is clear.

Memes are the political cartoons of the 2000s. Hopefully a bit funny, but more about the message.
Memes are about dumb jokes, the reason political cartoons and political memes aren’t funny is because the second you bring politics in you brutally murder comedy. Not saying politics dont belong in comedy, but when the comedy is the vehicle to push your agenda, you get dumbshit like this.
Political agendas can’t meme.

Go fuck yourself you sad fuck.
I don’t think it’s every cop’s dick, I think at the most it’s every other cop… Scary enough to give yourself a built-in breather and time to wipe up.
Man its a shit joke, get over yourself and go punch a cop if you’re king of ACAB, I’m done with your projection, I think the jokes dumb, get over it you dumb cunt. Fuckin this is why people hate the left now, YOUR ATTACKNG SOMEONE WHO HATES COPS YOU RETARD, but no you gotta protect your dumb meme fucking retards everywhere here.

Oh fuck that last line is good.
Did you cum? Glad to hear it.
Sure as fuck did.
