I mean memes can be a form of propaganda/there’s a venn diagram there, but considering there isn’t much subtlety in this one and some others— and I’d like to think I’m not in the mindset to take anything of this caliber from the right as any form of truth— “meme” is a considerably more apt descriptor.

True, I used the word loosely/lazily; I’ll eat my downvotes.

It may be hypocritical and inconsistent of me, but left-wing propaganda is the only time I can think of off-hand where I’m pretty OK with AI usage (or is this just a really good Photoshop)?

Yeah what’s the metric for success in protesting a cause so embedded in the roots?

Capitalism is a cult, complete with the abusers at the top.

Looks like spiked clothing is back in, boys!

And then what?

There was an article I read somewhere about steering people with negative traits into careers that might benefit society despite their negativity.

The example they used with narcissism in healthcare can blend in quite well because the importance and appreciation put on doctors and nurses for by (some of) the patients they’ve helped encourages them to do the same saving for others.

If someone’s negative trait is they derive pleasure from inflicting pain on others, what career would be good for them? Slaughterhouse employee? I have no idea where to “steer” these people.

However part of me wonders how many more of them would be out in the real world affecting real people if certain multiplayer games didn’t have them addicted…

…looking at you, Dead by Daylight.

Whenever I entertain the idea of us being in a simulation and think what the purpose of the simulation would be, I could see the goal being to make… like… t-cell souls that are willing to stave off the disease that is greedy, selfish bigoted souls. Y’know?

…brb gonna take another bong hit.

Trump is cancer manifest. Every time he gets any of its iterations he just absorbs it like osmosis.

A chunk of my savings is going to be spent celebrating the day this guy fucking dies.

I know it’s hella cheesy and there’s a masculinity joke about the fantasy of wanting to live out the cliche that is sacrificing yourself to buy time for others to run off and live, but honestly with fascism at everyone’s doorstep and me without ever having had a retirement plan or sense of purpose, I can’t think of a better opportunity to line myself up to live out that fantasy.

…mind you I am not actively seeking to speed up that process right now/I’d like to live as long as I could, but I’ve just kind of been bracing for mental impact that that’s probably going to be the equivalent of my retirement plan.

Anecdotally, a lot of my friends are doctors (/humblebrag) and are looking to gtfo of the states/have been looking do so since election night.

I would myself but uhhhh, my spouse and I haven’t got any kids and I’d rather stay and fight/do what I can within the community we have here.

oh snap! you’re right! this is why I was on academic probation from film school! 😔

I guess we need to see him bone then?

Have YOU seen him pee? I just think if he wants to prove he’s not a robot, we need to see his piss.

I wonder if Russia knew their US plant would be so obvious that leaders would stop feeding the US intelligence.

Anytime I see him doing that fucking dance I just think of the end of Hereditary.

Buddy if something’s coming down your throat it ain’t me or my agenda. Have you tried not sucking dicks?

…what’s with the gun? is that what your throat’s been doing? ow! buddy the bullets hurt! stop it!

“Come clean” in this context means “go sober.” They are all refusing to go sober.
