    But being insulting is fun because you get to laugh with someone else’s situation without caring about yours : )

      There’s a new batch out. They actually have two jokes now. Just say something racist and replace the problem words with “woke”.

        I think the science actually supports this. Studies have shown leftists tend to be more self-critical and are concerned for the nuances - the “shades of grey”. So their memes must cover more angles of an argument to be effective. Right-wing are more black and white thinking, and don’t question themselves once they make a decision. So their meme’s are straight to the point and simple (and usually so full of logic holes and lacking in comedy that leftists say: “the right can’t meme”).

        I’m gonna get vilified for this, but do you mean one side makes memes with sharp commentary and the other makes memes for dumb people?

          I think they meant that they dont attribute either brevity to the level of not conveying a point effectively or verbosity to the point of eroding interest as being particularly good means of communication.

          I’m sure you didn’t make this so I’m not directing my confusion at you so much as just discussing…

          I’ve met a ton of maga people and they all look mostly the same, which is generally best described as appearing to be white trash (not as bad as beholdthemasterrace, but comparable). I’ve also met lots of people who strongly disavow trumpism and literally none of them look anything like the image shown except for maybe marvel/dc character symbol tattoos because they’re big fans. Nobody is getting fast food tattoos or wearing shirts with any of that on there except maybe Biden or LGBTQ+ symbols if they’re going to a protest or speech. I guess I just don’t understand what reality they subscribe to if they believe that that represents any actual person. I’m assuming that it just feels accurate to them, and their feelings don’t care about facts.

                No, that’s just what the political right tells you they are all about. Inspect their actual actions over the last several centuries and they tell a very different story.

                Make no mistake, conservatives desire an oppressive government. They want the state to be able to tell you you can’t be gay or Muslim. They yearn for the boot on their neck, so long as it steps harder on their neighbors than it does on them personally.

                  Remember that for a capitalist, free market and lack of government intervention means:

                  • Lower taxes (for the capitalists)
                  • Less regulation (for the capitalists)
                  • No government handouts (except for capitalists)

                  Etc.

                  They absolutely do say what they’re going to when they suggest improvements. Just remember - they only apply to the capitalist class. They’re not talking about you. Everything they say lines up when you remember, if they say “I’m going to improve X”, just add “for billionaires” at the end. If they say “I’m going to stop Y programs”, just add “but only for the poor”.

                  It all makes sense viewed as the class warfare that it is.

                  And it’s like trying to hold back the ocean with a toothpick, telling people they can’t be gay or Muslim or anything else. As with most right-wing oppression, it’s an aspiration that is abusive, unrealistic and asinine in every way.

          Let me translate: “I made an utterly tasteless and shitty abortion/miscarriage-adjacent meme that got moderated and I CANNOT stop whining about it, but liberals are the sensitive snowflakes around here”

          Suuuuuuure, everybody is sensitive but you, pal.

            No, there is definitely a list of things you can make fun of on this site, capitalism, American healthcare/infrastructure/etc, bills/how expensive things are, killing the rich, etc. It doesn’t matter how tasteless or dark the meme is so long as you direct it at the right subject matter. This is effectively an echo-chamber.

            The caption said: my wife out-drinking everyone at the table; our unborn son:

            Then it has a picture of Tom the cat with eyes bulging that I edited to be in a womb. Guess darker memes aren’t allowed here?

              You don’t get it. Only what they find funny is funny and only what they think is biggoted is actually biggoted.

              Any other world view other than theirs is extremely inferior to the point of being an insult to exist.

                  I think the big issue is that joking about school shootings is satirical to bring up how common it is in hopes to change it, while joking about fat people is just to be mean. No one is going to change because you made fun of them, in fact it might make the problem worse as state of mind is a factor in being unhealthy.

                  You could probably make the same argument about abortion jokes being satirical, but I don’t think abortion jokes are made in order to enact social change. It’s usually just to be offensive. Satire is usually used to point out how ridiculous something is, the hope is that we as a society will see it and do something about it.

      By definition, something offensive must be something that can cause someone to take offense. Saying “haha, people get offended when I say offensive things” is rather redundant.

      The right when you say anything that’s

      • blasphemous
      • anti-Christian
      • pro-LGBTQ
      • anti-USA
      • anti-racist

      (Not an exhaustive list)

      Oh, yeah, they also get pretty offended when you ask them to wear a mask or get vaccinated.

      The portion of the left which is insecure and obnoxious, that is. Trust me, we’re annoyed by them, too. They make the rest of us look like whiny, judgmental assholes.
