Today I decided to visit r/Communism to see what their memes looked like.
Terrible meme design. Also, since when did Stalin eliminate racism and anti-semitism?
Funny thing on this one... besides the wall o' text, horrific choice of JPG-artifacted image, and ludicrous composition...
Dem ratios show that everybody besides the US and Russia went down... and Russia was increasing vastly faster than the US, it just started in a lower position. I suppose communism and math skills don't combine well.
Communists dunking on Liberals in the comments.
Personally I thought this was a quality meme but they hated it, all the comments were about how they weren't taught true communism in college, just liberalism.

Also worth noting that the chart is very carefully steered towards only industrial output rather than industrialization. Sergei Witte began a major campaign of constructing railroads, powerplants, and other infrastructure in 1870. This put Russia in the position where they could actually start increasing their industrial output on a grand scale once they had a means of moving power and goods around... which the communists took over and thus basically reaped the benefits of fifty years of the tsars laying the groundwork to industrialize.
Russian industrialisation
Russian industrialisation began in the 1800s and was accelerated by Sergei Witte, whose policies encouraged foreign investment and infrastructure spending.

Today's theme is: The Left can't do facts.
This is a picture of Singapore, one of the freest markets and least left-leaning places in the world.
This doesn't need a caption.
When your understanding of the philosophy you're peddling is so poor you describe free-market Capitalism instead of Communism...

This isn't just sad, it fails on ever level. Blaming gamers for not wanting to play garbage, implying you want to use force to make people consume your product, and then "well written characters."
Who are made of fail. Lara Croft? The people who started adding gay subtext drove a beloved long-running franchise into the ground in two games. Sylvano might be gay, maybe not, at best he's flamboyant and that's more because he's a Latin American stereotype (seen through a Japanese lens) and not because he's in any way connected to the Alphabet people. Naoto not only isn't trans, she's detrans, literally her character arc is a girl who was pushed to act masculine and realizes in the end that there's nothing wrong with a girl embracing her femininity. She's the exact opposite of a trans icon.

I am laughably sick of this crap now.
What do you call a person who chooses not to buy something due to a percieved lack of quality of features? A savvy consumer.
What do you call a person who chooses not to buy media due to a perceived lack of quality or features? An incel.

So.... They're saying Incels are smart, savvy folk?
I'm now wondering, should I work on becoming one?
I mean that's the logical conclusion to 'you don't mindlessly consoom everything, therefore you're an incel/nazi/racist/bigot', isn't it?So.... They're saying Incels are smart, savvy folk?

Leftists were never particularly smart with A<B<C thinking.

For as much as they decry colonialism and cultural appropriation, they sure do seem to enjoy claiming ownership of other peoples' works.This isn't just sad, it fails on ever level.

...But...The Grand Nagus was highly progressive and actually a competent leader, all things given.
Well, Zek I mean.You're referring to Grand Nagus Quark, correct?
Never had the chance to watch those episodes in full, save for a few clips online and skimming the Memory Alpha article a ways back.
Quark might've made for a good Nagus because at the end of the day his heart was in the right place. But then again he was also Quark.

I feel like Quark was hamstrung because he followed a religion he didn't really believe in, and thus did things halfheartedly instead of ever committing.
If he'd been truly ruthless and cut-throat he might have been able to make it as a legit gangster... or been killed because that's a pretty murderous pool to swim in. If he'd fully followed his more charitable and kindly impulses he would have had strong allies in the Federation and Bajoran governments. But instead, Quark half-assed both sides and so his greatest accomplishment wound up being Rom's Brother.
By contrast, Rom and Nog both eventually decided on a course and stuck with it, and both saw far more success than Quark. Rom ended up with a hot Bajoran wife, rulership of the entire Ferengi people, and unimaginable wealth and temporal power. Nog wound up a highly respected and decorated Starfleet officer, at least enough that he had an important ship ship named after him later even if the exploits of Captain Nog in STO aren't quite canon.

Reminds me of the Cuomo-sexuals.Just wanna’ leave this here:
Definitely wordy (as usual), but Trudeau’s had more than enough time to prove himself a dope and a dunce, so I think all the “Justin-mania” that was once in-vogue has aged pretty poorly.
Zyobot
Just a time-traveling robot stranded on Earth.
Ah, yes, all the celebrities who fawned over him, before he got busted over killing scores of NY's elderly and all the sexual-harassment allegations that suddenly dropped (which I'm not sure were proven).
Even now, they've been real quiet about asking him to return his Emmy, as soon as the news broke about what an evil, deceitful SOB that Cuomo was. In another life, I'm confident he'd have been quite the dictator.

Today we're looking at LGTQ2A+ memes.
They literally just copied a rightist meme and swapped the words "LGBT" with "Straight." Which kinda shows, like implying there's some kind of special straight fashion.
Words fail me. Fortunately, they stepped in to fill the gap with about eighty times more words than a meme needs.
Wut.

Honestly, this meme is like halfway funny, in a satiric sense. It's just the perfect callout of the LGBT-obsessed.
