You certainly are angry. I don’t know why saying it’s over for Biden at this point could help fascists, especially since him stepping down is a good thing. We were fucked if he didn’t, as he was already not a great candidate before the debate.
Harris might be a cop, but she’s acceptable. Applying the same standards to her as any other candidate, she doesn’t suck on policy. She’s fundamentally a Dem, but she’s at the upper end of the curve. She actually made effective points against Biden in the primary debates. If I had to pick a conservatives Dem in 2020 out of Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Biden, and her, I’d go with her.
My anger is medical and highly resistant to treatment, thank you.
The tone the meme conveys erodes resolve and countenance, which is so critical for Harris to accrue right now. I agree Biden was not a great candidate, I voted for him out of necessity and frankly I would have voted for Harris even more enthusiastically if she had been the candidate in 2020 though moreso for Buttigieg.
That said, this country, even among progressives, is unusually racist and sexist. Harris has a tough hill to climb and only weeks to do it in.
Let us use our meme magic to make her way easy. Or at least to give her opposition as little ammo as possible.
I call this a fascist meme because the format has been co-opted by the alt-right, and while I cannot claim your intentions, I err on the side of humanity and do not assume you are a deliberate forum slider. But it WILL be used by dedicated forum sliders to erode Harris’s positon.
Dude… you came out of the gate trying to shame OP and being hostile towards everyone else.
I’m marking your reports and the reports against you as resolved for now… But I’m letting you know, the rules page may not specifically say “don’t be uncivil” but we generally don’t tolerate hostility. c/196 is supposed to be a safe place first and foremost, and a place for good vibes secondmost… And I’m sorry, but your replies go against both of those things regardless of if you have a condition that makes it difficult. If the hostility continues, we may decide to remove your replies, and depending on the severity we may issue temporary bans.
If you ever need help expressing something you feel is difficult to say respectfully, my inbox is always open and I’m always willing to help. Believe me I’ve read things here that make my blood boil too, but there’s always a way to fire back and still be civil.
My anger is medical and highly resistant to medical treatment, thank you.
Do you believe that should give you a pass to take it out on any random Lemming who says anything that could possibly be misinterpreted?
Further, the meme format depicted here was created by an autistic person for memes specifically pertaining to autism and I have never seen it used in any context besides that.
Expounding on that point, the meme reads to me (and, I’d argue, to any reasonable person) that OP is humorously commenting on how their brain defaults to parsing the word “joever” and nothing more.
Seriously though. I’ve personally never seen the right use this format, mostly seeing it used by transfems as a more affirming alternative to the Drake meme. This is the base meme under the text boxes:
You realize your reply doesn’t actually mean anything, right?
‘take accountability for your vitriol’ what the fuck are you even trying to convey here?
I know I’m angry, it’s medical, I’ve lived it for decades. I am aware that most of you dislike being told things in such a way due to your thin skinned nature. It is considerably more situationally correct to say you and others like you need to take responsibility for your own media habits.

That’s an excuse but not an apology. No need to be a dick to people, and if you are a dick, no need to be so unrepentant.
Who the FUCK are YOU to tell ME to apologize? I have done zero to require it.
I will NOT be a victim of your manipulative shame jail.

Ban me idgaf this is just reddit all over again.
No thanks, just blocking your sub and the majority of people that post in it.
Ta.
🤷♀️
Sorry.
See, it’s that easy.
I have zero things to apologize to anyone in this sub for.

Who the fuck are you to police my motives? I’m warning you so you know what you’re dealing with.
Yes, and EVERY meme the alt-right co-opts comes from innocent and progressive sources. *gestures frantically at Pepe and Doge*
That’s how they operate. They take the works of others and twist them to serve their frat boy purposes.
But this format very much isn’t right wing. It’s overwhelmingly used by the left.
Seriously though. I’ve personally never seen the right use this format, mostly seeing it used by transfems as a more affirming alternative to the Drake meme. This is the base meme under the text boxes:
If you flatly refuse to take accountability for the vitriol you post, please consider not posting at all.
