The right needs to create elaborate theories of victimhood in order to even construct a punch-up joke. Is this why they prefer bullying humour, or is it why they have a persecution fetish?
Hey everyone guess what, I found something less funny than comedy theory: trying to understand unfunny people! 😀
Don't forget they have to contradict themselves at every turn. "Go woke go broke" vs "cancel culture", "the 2nd protects the 1st" vs cheering on cops beating up protesters, party of traditional family values vs supporting a dude who's divorced several times and is in court for misappropriation of campaign funds to pay off a sex worker.
is it why they have a persecution fetish?
They want to persecute others, so they assume others want to persecute them. It's always projection.
I'm left wing but this is the most auto-felating post I've ever seen.
If we don't, who will?
Comrades, partners, sex-workers? Ego is harder to stimulate than both clitoris and prostate, but it makes it all sweeter. Call 1-800-EGO-STROKERS to find a lefty source of stimulus in your area!
This is pretty cringe. Also not a meme.
But it's on a generic bad thing/good thing template????? That's comedy!
The christofascists really can't meme, can they?
All political images macros are the first one because they are a terrible method of communication
Where does "pig shitting on its own balls" image macro fall?
Trying to figure out if hexbears are right or far right.
This Daniel guy makes memes and also huffs his own farts.
I'm openly left wing but I'm not gonna pretend that the majority of lefty memes are shit like this dude
To be fair, you need a very high IQ to understand lefty memes. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of dialectical materialism most of the jokes will go over a typical user's head. There's also the intersectionalist perspective, which is deftly woven into online communities - the horniness draws directly from the old r/196, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about CAPITALISM. As a consequence people who dislike lefty memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the popular characterization of the bourgeoisie as friggin' piggies, which itself is a cryptic reference to 19th century propaganda. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as HappyRoadKill's genius unfolds itself on their phones' screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Karl Marx's tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the femboys' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 points of class consciousness coefficient of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
Also a picture of somebody being a nuisance with a pickup with a caption about how tough they are for doing it isn't exactly what I'd qualify as a good meme.
Love the irony of calling out kneejerk assumptions... This post is effectively "Left wing people are smart. Right wing people are dumb. Upvote if you agree"
No, the post is pointing out that reinforcing existing beliefs doesn't require an explanation while giving reasons to change does. Explanations are always longer.
