• Corrupting something innocent is a favourite pastime of the right

    That and they love running jokes into the ground.

    In their defense, they only have about 3 jokes, kinda hard not to run those into the ground

    its "memeology" its lowbrow humor by unsophistocated uninqusitive people, repetition is easy

    we've all experienced an in joke, the experience of hilarity knowing this joke that only you and a few friends know, "accper me myself and come guy how eats baked wood?" amirite guise? "woobloop, im an amoeba" (so random)

    but you know, screenshotting some garbage some guy on runescape or msn messenger said in 2004 isnt that funny when you grow up

    edit: ill add it also fosters being part of the "in crowd" who "get it" you know, if youre a conspiracist who thinks putting black salve down your urethra protects you, youre probably pretty wedded to the idea you and the other guys with the burned out pissers are right, it'd sure be embarrasing telling people that you sounded your doodle with black save and were wrong about the whoel thing, wouldnt it, the'red be a barrier of shame protecting that idea as having to be the truth in your mind (and or that even if its not, youre never going to admit it)

    thats point A:

    point B is elaborating on memes, which might get a bit wordy

    richard dawkins coind the term "meme" to explain a viral idea that spreads liek a virus (like religion), and it kinda caught on in the context of funny cat pictures and that one video of a guy with a jar in his ass on the internet (yeah you know the one, the visuals and flashbacks are my pleasure) spreading in a similar way

    but what is that? what is that actually explaining or pointing to

    i make this analogy of cavemen painting on the walls of their caves, they dont know why something happens, theyre cavemen without a hope of ever splitting an atom or crafting a magnifying glass, so how do they explain grandma caveman dying? well she mustve not danced to the gods enough, duh

    lets draw a picture on the walls to tell future cave people they've gotta dance often and not upset the rain-gods

    its a lot simpler and more straightforward an explination than figuring a bunch of pesky science

    thats memes, theyre almost always oversimplified but nevertheless wrong explanations

    edit edit: in year 11 + 12 psych we learned about sigmud freud, who was a genius and massivley expanded the field of psychology, but basically all his hypothesis were wrong, nonsense like "penis envy" (look it up)

    they also like to hold onto junk science like that, i swear to god its a wonder they arent out there with phrenology calipers measuring skulls at this point

    Is that why they’re against outlawing child marriage?

    Yeah they're pedophiles, have you seen the person they elected president?

    I will never forgive them for corrupting Pepe. Also won't forgive them for the racism

    Especially little kids. Bunch of predators.

  • To spite the original author after he told them to stop.

    Same with the author of pepe

  • Probably because The Right loves to use characters that would NOT be on their side for some reason

    The kneejerk reaction from the other side of “that character wouldn’t agree with you” brings them joy

  • Immigration judges aren’t DOJ judges…

    Yes they are, they are a part of the Executive Office of Immigration Review and answer the the Board of Immigration Appeals, which in turn is appointed by the AG.

    Sorry, to be clear for the law students - admin judges in EOIR are just that, admin judges under Article I and not Article III. They are not judicial positions. They are executive functions allowed by the INA, similar to SEC and other executive functions. As my immigration law professor said, a sitting immigration judge in PA: they are judges as much as magistrates are. Adjudication does not equal judiciary.

  • I’m pretty sure it started with one Franklin edit and then the publisher kinda did a Streisand effect by asking them to stop, and now everyone and their uncle is making it to protest and mock the publisher and franklin it’s self. Really pathetic shit if I’m being honest, but AI lets you make this slop in seconds so no one will stop them.

    Pete Hegseth posted an AI edit, the other chuds saw it and the phenomenon caught on.

  • They think we give a shit

  • Fascism needs to tie itself to unrelated things people feel nostalgia for, because it can’t justify its own existence.

  • Bruce Cockburn does not approve.

    Is that actually his last name?

    It's not pronounced how you think.

    If my last name was Cockburn, it wouldnt be pronounced that way, either.

  • Franklin has now become the new Pepe

    It's not easy being green.

  • Franklin memes are still going? Last one I saw was in high school, and he impregnated his sister using a hockey stick and a TSAR Bomba.

    Who tf came up with that?

    It was a group effort.

  • For same reason why anarchists use Moomin. Who the hell knows
    EDIT:
    PS. I am anarchist and love moomins, literally grew up with the cartoon, but I think it's strange how certain ideologies adapt popular characters and aesthetics even if they have very little to do with values they share
