Comment on Cheers lads
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoPeople like to make fun of this idea that “the right can’t meme,” but I’d agree with you and argue they’re actually really fucking good at it.
I think it’s a real shame that progressives basically ceded the tools of shock and profanity to people on the far right. Maybe it’s because I was a huge fan of the Colbert Report growing up, but I feel like satire is a great way to deconstruct far right positions by showing their logical conclusions. The problem is that you can’t really satirize a racist anymore; you’ll get called a racist yourself and be canceled.
