Yeah this account basically just flipped to constantly posting Israel war memes a month ago.
Along with quite a few others. Before that, it was all economy all the time
You specifically should know better.
oh my fuck. this is gold. screenshot, archive.org, federate. put it on a tshirt. use it as a new isntance url.
I'm reflecting the bad-faith recasting I see in some other memes here, no more no less. I'm happy peacefully existing without creating any memes at all, but when I see a misrepresentation of my view in a dumb meme by a user that I'll leave nameless (they can't defend themselves here right now anyway), I feel an urgent need to lob that turd back at them. I think .world has successfully sheltered themselves from a world-view that challenges a particular self-image, a world-view I happen to share, and I feel an honest need to make my existence known.
At this point I don't care what the response is, but if my silly memes are enough to warrant suspicion of being a troll then fuck it. I find the very serious democratic pandering around here childish, so i'll continue matching it with my own childish representations.
At this point I simply do not care. If the only thing that comes out of these memes is a string of activity in the modlog I'd consider that to be a point well-made.
You are welcome to your strategy, but I think “let’s yell at the people who wee in the pool every day, and tell them not to” is a better solution than “well in that case imma start weeing in the pool too.” You’re still gonna be in a pool full of wee. Why is that success?
Meme's are piss. They're irreverent and mirthful and reductive by nature.
When there aren't any rules against pissing in the pool, the only way to get someone to stop pissing on you might just be to piss on them back.
Sure, I could leave the pool, but that pisser will just pick someone else to piss on, until there's noone left except the people who enjoy that guy's piss (or maybe just tolerate it)
hey, some of us like the piss pool
Look at their user name.
