    United States The Left Can't Meme

    And not just that, but very often, they aren't exactly heroic people, so they're replacing the hero not just with a self-insert, or even just a shallow self-insert power fantasy, but a selfish shallow wish-fulfillment power fantasy.

    Gaston is the only one I've seen a decent argument for, and that argument hinges on 'if just two things were different,' those two things being 'Gaston didn't try to force his suit on Belle, and Beat didn't let her go.' But those two things are that way, so it's still an argument for an...

    It takes a hell of a lot more, and more long term, use of amphetamines to have the same effects as HRT and SRS, which are permanently debilitating and crippling very easily.

    It's the lobotomy craze of the 21st century.

    You actively want a war between the two most powerful nations in the world. This is not what can be described as 'chill.'

    No, it isn't? It's certainly easier when you have a car, but I've lived and worked in both a large and a small city with just a bike for getting around, occasionally using a bus. It's harder, but you can do it. I'm sure there's a few neighborhoods in specific cities where it's basically...

    Either that, or Soviet Union 2, Massacre Boogaloo. It's not like the pattern of repetition is hard to see.

    They've tried this on the state level to varying degrees of success over the years. Given what homeschoolers are seeing pushed in public schools these days, if they try to enforce a federal ban on homeschooling? That'd be another 'Civil war o'clock' button.

    Home schooling cuts you free from the shackles of enforced mediocrity that most public schools have. Where you go once the shackles are removed, depends on each child and their parents.

    That my little pony one caused visceral revulsion just seeing the top line. I didn't even bother to read the text. That's disgusting.

    Any ideology will be abused by those who are only part of the 'movement' for selfish gain. That doesn't automatically invalidate the ideology, though it can invalidate the credibility and integrity of the movement professing it.

    On top of that, it neglects the fact that gamers tend to be libertarians or leftists, trending more towards the former than the latter these days. There certainly are conservative gamers as well, such as myself, but the 'completely lost in the world of games' types tend not to be conservatives.

    I think the 'joke' is supposed to be that it's the colors of the intersectional pride flag.

    It would work no more now than it did in the past. One of the key parts of Communism is willful denial of reality. Communists are fundamentally irrational people. When you argue with a communist, you aren't trying to convince them of a rational argument, you're trying to convince them that...

    Wokeness itself inherently degrades meme-making capability, at least for their cause. It actually enhances the ability to make memes that support your ideological opponents; f'rex, Justin Trudeau's remarks about Castro's death. If you had an absolute master meme-maker, they could probably still...

    Obama is directly responsible for the rise of ISIS, and the failure to crush them. Notice how it was just a matter of months after Trump took office that ISIS was effectively crushed. Further, Obama's insane appeasement and paying off of Iran caused a region-wide surge in terrorism, as well as...

    These old canards get bloody tiring. Repeating Democrat talking points from 10 years ago doesn't make them any more true now than it was then, and frankly, I'm not going to burn the time for a big long and involved debate on the fine details.

    The first is a not unreasonable point, but where on earth do you get the idea the world would be a ton stabler if Bush hadn't been president? The utter collapse of much of the Middle East, migrant crisis, etc, all took place under Obama's watch, and it wasn't a matter of 'ticking time bombs,'...

    There's another element to it; good memes work by making clever reference to Truth. And that's something that the political left cannot abide, because it is something that at best they only have glimmers of, at best. The few leftists you find who can do some memeing, are generally the ones who...

    It took me a moment, but I think the answer is that if you oppose abortion, then that makes you the moral equivalent of Sith.
