What other meaning would they have?

[-] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 63 points 1 week ago

I mean, they represent physical labor, in the sense that one physically uses a hammer and a sickle as tools. But the reason communists pair those symbols together is because they represent the class alliance of industrial workers, and rural peasants.

This is a repost of bad conservative Onion ripoff, The Babylon Bee, though. So I expect only the most shallow, baby-brained, "jokes" your average chud could muster

I also like the sextant the GDR added to represent knowledge workers.

Context matters. Could have been funny, if it were a self-deprecating joke. But now I think "ah, they don't know what they're talking about".

That's a compass (math kind not navigation kind) not a sextant. A sextant would be more likely to represent the mercantile class than knowledge workers. But yeah I love their symbol because it really shines as a symbol for German communism by including a tool associated with engineers.

Remembered it wrong. Also still not used to the english word for that device.

Why haven't you posted anything better? Classic .ML do a lot of complaining and interject moral superiority while doing nothing of substance. I'm out here breaking my back harvesting memes to bring back like slop for the pig trough. 4 count em FOUR group chats among different friend groups that share memes. Plus tertiary collection. I save AND post them. By the sweat of my brow I share a minor chuckle or quick exhale from the nose followed by a slight smile and head shake. This is what I do for you. Yet, this is how you repay me?

Four group chats and the best you've got is some Facebook boomer shit??

Idk a Lil ragebait in the shitpost community is absolutely perfect for me on occasion. Still waiting to hear why you don't post sick ass memes...

[-] lordziv@lemmy.nz 25 points 1 week ago

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Helllllll yeah that's the idea lmao

[-] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago

Man, if only you had posted a sixth shit meme, it would have really helped turn the comment around.
