United States The Left Can't Meme

Pol Pot was literally such an insane dictator that the Vietnamese deposed him. For being insane. Even Mao told him to chill out, early on in Pol Pot's leadership of Cambodia.

The only reason Pol Pot doesn't have the bodycount of Stalin, Hitler, or Mao is because he led a much smaller country.

Yes,he killed 30-50% of population,and only reason why he do not kill all was Vietnam invasion.
But - it is logic of communism.Our system is not working? kill enemies.
It still do not working? kill more enemies.
If we kill 99%,rest would live in workers paradise,right?

Yeah, funny they always forget to mention this part.

Honestly, I feel Pol Pot with the resources of Hitler, Stalin, or Mao would be worse than any of them. Sure, he never got to carry out his own version of Generalplan Ost in real life, but he did butcher all sorts of non-Khmer ethnic and religious minorities within Cambodia itself, and (as pointed out earlier) try to invade Vietnam.

If he had the means, then I’ve little doubt he’d both export his genocides abroad and once again annihilate huge swaths of his own countrymen, rather than “only” exterminate racial groups he disliked (Hitler) or have a little more “restraint” in mass-murdering his own people (Stalin and Mao).

He was basically just a commie with slightly less restraint. Because socialism always seems to lead to mass murder.

Then what should we expect from a commie with no restraint?

A highly militant Fourth International Posadist Movement that somehow manages to pilfer some nukes it fires off? Frankly, that’s just about the only option I can think of even crazier than the Khmer Rouge was, especially with its enthusiastic embrace of Ufology and nuclear war to obliterate the capitalist states, for some reason...

Wow I had no idea Cambodians were obligate carnivores unable to eat anything other than meat which fully explains why losing 75% of their cattle meant 1/4 of the population turned into steam!

They weren't; they were rice dependent.

What actually happened to the cattle was when Pol Pots government went to seize them many people simply killed their cattle rather than handing them over. Pretty standard reaction to a communist takeover and mass seizure of goods.

I could tell, but I wanted to provide more historical context.

More commie idiocy:

Something tells me that’s not what the fellas in the photo actually had in mind.

Something Vox published in March 2020:

Again, make of that what you will.

Bit wordy on the top panel, but otherwise, not terrible in terms of meme-ing. Unfortunately, it leaves out the part where Klein literally parachuted Seder in at the last minute to debate for him, which — as in most defenses of Ethan Klein, Sam Seder, Thom Hartmann, and other obnoxious lefty pundits — are dishonest and proudly so.

 

[Bigking321]

Wasn't that debate rather infamous and destroyed h3h3s reputation?

I wasn't really paying attention back then but I still recall hearing about it and what a crappy thing to do it was.

Not sure, since I don’t keep up with Klein and other Breadtubers, either. Just know he wimped out by bringing Seder in to do his debating for him, which — as you say — was a dick move the Left will go out of its way to excuse, “If they didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards whatsoever!” and all that.

No debate happened. Crowder called him out, made some jokes, and they ended the call.

Yeah, sounds right to me.

Honestly, though, Seder’s one of “those guys” whose smug, conceited, wiseass attitude will get him punched in the face or worse, him and Thom Hartmann both. Not something I’d actively wish on them, but if they ran their mouths in a face-to-face setting and got socked for their trouble… well, I agree that’d be wrong in principle, but wouldn’t feel all that sorry for them otherwise. 🤷‍♂️

Seder was also desperate to "debate" Crowder and had been pestering him for months. Crowder refused because of how obnoxious he was, and H3h3 was happy to help.

It did set the tone for the new post 2018 H3h3 as a complete and total retard. He has been going downhill very hard since then.

Wow, really? Well, it checks out that he'd pull that, since he and his fans repeatedly brigaded Dave Rubin a while back.

But yeah, yet another reason not to bother with either of them — or their equally asshole-ish cheerleaders, for that matter. Not exactly a MAGA guy, but if you asked me whether the fanbase of Ben Shapiro or Sam Seder would rack up the most corpses if either of them magically established a dictatorship tomorrow, by and large, I think it'd be Seder's fans by a significant margin.

I'm still wondering what happened to H3h3 exactly that turned them from being anti-woke to being one of the worst examples of them.

He had been trying to debate Crowder for awhile amd even claiming Steven pulled out of things because of him.
It was insane
