    This community is supposed to be lighthearted

      I appreciate you recommending me go over the community guidelines a 2nd time. I’ll reign in the clown show a bit from now on.

      But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server’s ideals.

      Notice the “or” in the “and/or”.

        Do you think this image belongs at the top of a memes community? Where the sidebar starts with “when you need a laugh”?

    No offence but this is the same shit that Nazis post with a caption complaining about how Jews control the Government.

      Equally, it’s dangerous to be wrong when the government is right.

      There is a difference when you pay attention to the actual content of what’s being said and not just the aesthetics.

      See, the Jews don’t control the world, but the police do beat political dissidents. It matters if you care about the truth.

      I guess I’m like a Nazi now because I used words, and sometimes Nazis use words.

        There is no “content” at all. No context on which to dispel my assumptions.

        Humans make generalisations from incomplete data, and the generalisation I make is that OP doesn’t realise that the point they are trying to make is (1) extremely poorly made and (2) conducive to being confused for a Nazi.

          What do you think of the statement “the Jews don’t control the world, but the police do beat political dissidents”?

          Or are you just really hell-bent on confusing OP for a Nazi?

            I agree with that statement. I also never claimed they were a Nazi. Surely your reading comprehension is not that poor, right?

              That statement that you apparently agree with is the content that you ignored in order to compare OP to a Nazi. Or sorry no, in order to claim that OP could be confused for a Nazi.

              It’s really important to be scrupulously fair to people who baselessly compare people to Nazis.

      okay but Nazis hate everything, and blame everything on ‘The Jews’? just because they hate shitty liberal governments and blame them on ‘The Jews’ doesn’t make them good.

    You have to make the right government, but even more important is to make the government right.

              Straw man, youre implying my preexisting discontent with the United States is a manipulation by putin. You’re also implying that I should forgo my own morals to uphold an unjust system for the sake of the system alone.

              I am an American. America is my home. We are taught that civil discourse, democracy, and holding your government to account is as American as apple pie. Putin might capitalize on the rights zealotry but that does not mean we give into their warped mortality for the sake of maintaining the union.
