  You’re right, that way of thinking/acting is gone.

    Man, I sure do love when people put words in my mouth I never said. That is one bad jacket there.

    There are plenty of more recent and more relevant examples of this type of bullshit without having to go back years, and this is some of the weakest "call out"s of these stains on humanity I’ve seen in a long time.

    Next time you want to masturbate about how much better you are than Trump’s useful idiots, get some better material at least.

      So your complaint, for posterity, is that the racists used in this meme are not current enough?

      Besides the assumption that this post was meant to tout the poster’s moral superiority.

        Pretty much. It’s an unfunny failure of a caricature of these fuckers, based off what is years old news, that does nothing but stoke impotent feelings of elitism.

        It’s self-making your own circus for the bread and circus distraction from doing anything useful about the problem, and I find it awfully similar to public masturbation at this point.

        A more succinct comment, and what I probably just should have went for my initial comment given this is a shit post community, is the meme of Squidward saying “brave today, aren’t we?”

        It’s boring and overdone.

      It’s worth remembering as often as possible, and was done in an amusing way. Go bark up some other tree please.

  Ignoring them and the issue clearly has not worked.

    Neither did the constant media and internet frenzy focusing on the stupidest aspects of their bullshit. Are we going to start talking about the two scoops of ice cream again? Look at the birdy and ignore the gutting of the board of education.

  They run the country now, you absolute fuck face.

    No shit Sherlock. So why are we trying our best to turn them into the clowns to make a circus to go with the bread instead of talking about how to do something? Why are we helping them make things worse by just turning them into a punchline.

    More so, why are we settling for such a weak ass punchline about a version of the problem that’s from multiple years ago?

    This limp dicked masturbatory elitism just downplays the seriousness of the situation while stoking a futile feeling of elitism that goes nowhere. “Look, aren’t we better than these hilariously sad excuses for a cum stain? Time to go be smug and continue sitting on my ass doing nothing.”

      Ah, I see!

      I apologise for my insult. I grievously misunderstood what you were saying, and mistook you for someone who did not care enough about the problem.

      You believe that ridiculing these people actually gives them power, rather than taking it away, yes? Makes them seem less threatening? Which perhaps reduces our inclination to fight them?

      I can see the merit of that argument. (If I have missed your point, please correct me.)

      However, I do think ridicule has a role to play in fighting fascism.

      Alone, clearly, it is not going to do the job. The form of the ridicule matters. For example, late-night hosts often express derision by pretending disbelief that someone really believes what they say, like they’re merely mistaken and can be bullied into shamefacedly correcting their own behaviour.

      This is a demonstration of how those shows tend to follow the interests of centrist politics, just because it’s easier to do that when you are owned by a corporation.

      However, if we call these self-entitled white tiki-torchers fools, while combining that with a frank expression of how these fools have been made loyal to fascism and cannot be simply convinced to change but must have their power taken away, it serves the purpose of maintaining our own morale.

      You can see this phenomenon in the pop culture made during World War 2, most iconically in the Looney Tunes and Donald Duck propaganda cartoons. The fascist enemy is shown to be brutish, stupid, and pathetic, while the system they occupy is shown as an incredibly dangerous war machine.

      If you take the OP’s shitpost in context, and if we also keep in mind that these assholes are currently winning the fight and that we cannot wait for someone else to fight them for us, it is not a bad thing.
