Meme Thread for Both Posting and Discussing Memes

Ironically, @bintananth's argument actually proved @Doomsought's point: His appearance flows from his personality which thinks even minimal exercise is too much work.

There's juat an insurmountable amount of scientific evidence of the benefits that you just can't dispute it. Even if you have a physical job, it's good for you.

Hard work is good for the mind. It's good fornthe body. Fitness is one of the best ways to fight covid even

It seems that they forget they are posting this crap on the internet and people can check them on their bullshit.
But wait, doesn't that image look a bit... crap? Well, first they hide the fact that this is from the tv-show. Then they get the date wrong, as the show didn't start airing till 1992, and this character didn't appear till October 1993 in an ep called "Wish upon a starfish", second appearance October 1994 in "Ariel's Treasures".
Then they lied about her race and region of origin.
Not only is she supposed to be Latina, and not at all from the Ivory Coast, the thing that's supposed to be her special quirk is that she's deaf. But why would 90's era Disney make a random character like this, was it part of some PSA? Nope, it was part of a make-a-wish foundation for the parents of a dead little girl.
It's not like people just forgot about this fact either. It's specifically called out by leftist journalists from back when the casting was first announced, three years ago.

Facts are meaningless in the face of The Message and The Narrative.

2-Year-Old Girl Lives On in 'Mermaid' : Television: Disney animators introduce a new character based on Gabriella Angelina Bommino, who died of leukemia last year.

When 2-year-old Gabriella Angelina Bommino died of leukemia last November, her parents despaired that "we would never know what our daughter would look like when she was older," her mother, Antonietta Bommino, said.

They're also completely misrepresenting the complaints.

I have seen almost no one complaining that she's going to be black just because she's black. Sure, a few. More often, the complaint is about the pattern. They're just checking off a box, so they can call people racist when they don't like the uncreative bullshit that they churn out.

Make a new, creative story with a black lead, and guess what, no one will give a fuck.


Movie producers be like: "let's remake _______...but black! Then we can call everyone racist when they hate it! We don't have to actually make anything good, we can just do this forever!"

If I'm ever once again in a gym it'll be because someone is paying several hundred dollars per hour just to have me look at the building it's in.

…serious question, why AREN’T the GOP and Right Wing doing more against illegal aliens?

The Lefties didn't deport them. They hired a single bus to take them to a joint base in Delaware.

For the Red...they aren't legally allowed to actually deport them. So certain leaders have sent them elsewhere in an effort to spur notice and try and get something done.

At this point, I'd be OK, if we just dumped put them on planes and ships with a 'Return to Sender' label for their countries of origin.

Corrupt judges.

Though I think rather than just focusing on the deportation, we also need to go after the human trafficking organizations that organize migrant caravans. There are many democrats that openly fund these criminal oganizations and should be held criminally liable for it.

Finally, sanctuary cities are an act of open inseraction, and shouyld be responded to with military force.

I agree with everything but the last point. Sanctuary cities set precedent in the fight to preserve individual liberty, such as with gun rights. So the way I would address them would be to send them these illegal immigrants they claim to love so much, as is currently being done by Texas and Florida.

Illegal aliens are worth money.

Fundamentally, all things in economics work on the laws of supply and demand. More supply for the same demand means lower prices, if there was a thousand times more gold available it wouldn't be rare anymore and the price would decrease.

However, people always act like there's some moral imperative that prevents this from applying to labor. There's not. Increase the number of workers and wages go down. Create robots that replace workers, and wages go down.

Illegal Immigrants are ideal for making the rich get richer and poor get poorer. They provide work at the lower and middle levels that depress wages, but you also never get super-wealthy illegal immigrants competing for managerial positions so they don't depress the wealthy's income or compete with them. Further, illegal immigrants have to buy goods and services so they compete with the poor (and lower middle class) for them, which drives up the prices of those goods and services, enriching the already-wealthy. Further, because, again, there is no super-rich illegal immigrant class, they don't compete to buy the super-rich's desired goods so their prices do not increase from extra demand.

Thus the wealthy managerial class continues to profit from illegal immigrants and the politician class they have on a tight leash continues to do their bidding and use only milquetoast ineffective methods that won't actually curb it. Try to do anything actually effective against it and the establishment will react viciously.

Agreed, the concept of nuclear winter is a religious tenet made to protect global superpowers from a conflict that would spare most living people.

If you were to tell a green cultist that their car's engine has enough power to keep the lights of a small town up and running during a snowstorm they wouldn't believe you because "idiots gonna idiot" and no one believes Cassandra.

Alright, no nuclear memes then.
