Excellent choice for the pic. Their facial expressions are both perfect!
But being insulting is fun because you get to laugh with someone else’s situation without caring about yours : )
Here’s an example of a leftist meme.
Too many words not enough racism.
Something something identify as a attack helicopter. Hur dur der.
There’s a new batch out. They actually have two jokes now. Just say something racist and replace the problem words with “woke”.
does “bigotry” against landlords and the bourgeoise class count
spoiler
holy fucking shit i actually spelled burggwasury right on the first timeIf it does count as bigotry, I’m screwed. I blame capitalism for stuff all the time.
Also, lol at “burggwasury”
I think their usual complaint that leftist memes can be really wordy. Which, yeah it’s true.
Liberal meme*
The classic left is different
liberals, famously no bigotry
What are you talking about? Liberals are bigots. https://youtu.be/3cdqQ2BdgOA?si=6cbhpxi0iegbDmJJ

Explain yourself
Usa left ( the liberal one ) it is not the same thing as the classical ( socialist/communist ) left. Liberals are a product of the capitalism. North Korea is a socialist country.
Btw: never seen so many downvotes as in american theads. ( left and right ) you have really an huge hivemind.

Please don’t be offended, but both left and right memes are horrible.
Please don’t be offended, but maybe you just need to hang out with better memes breh 👐
“Yeah, that’s the idea”

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.

The left when you say anything vaguely offensive:
The right, when called out by a meme and feeling sensitive about it ^
No, I’m a liberal but this site is sensitive af. I made a meme about a drinking pregnant woman and it got taken down
I’m a liberal
So… right wing
What?

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.
The left want to abolish capitalism. Liberalism invented capitalism.
Only if you think the line between left and right is somewhere around Lenin
Yes, right-wing, if you compare them to a fucking tankie.

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.
Yes, punching up is good and punching down is bad. Welcome to basic human interactions.
Since I’m getting downvoted right now I can punch up: fuck you dann! Am I doing it right? lmao
Seems odd, what was the context?
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.
Are you guys making your own echo chamber in the middle of an echo chamber? Seems rather echonomical ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s starting to sound echoy in here. You can joke about kids being shot up in American schools but you can’t joke about abortion, fat people, etc., because then it seems too mean spirited.
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.
man I sure do trigger the left when I… Show how bigoted I am. Haw haw haw
The right when you acknowledge reality and easily verifiable facts.
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.
