Leftist Memes - Or lack thereof...

[LargeChoonger]

The epitome of lefty memes can be seen in r/therightcantmeme, a subreddit purely dedicated to reposting (usually high-quality) right-wing memes with condescending titles and getting an ungodly amount of upvotes. Everything is ironic, from how the sub literally wouldn't exist without the memes it attacks and the fact that the name is a ripoff of a popular phrase

Imagine Being so creatively bankrupt, so devoid of original thought, so mindlessly driven by peer group trends that you decide to parody Mr. PumpkinFace. This is like hating a kid at school but knowing he's smarter and could kick your ass so you just bully his retarded little brother instead. Just pack it in leftists you're a shadow of a shadow of a shadow at this point.

This is like hating a kid at school but knowing he's smarter and could kick your ass so you just bully his exceptional little brother instead. Just pack it in leftists you're a shadow of a shadow of a shadow at this point.

Ummm...yeah, no. The whole "homeless are all harmless" line of reasoning is bullshit. Wherever you have a sizable population of homeless, you also have increased crime of all kinds. You have violence, drug use, disease, rape, murder, and public areas being used as toilets. And I wouldn't expect some lazy Pinko wastrel to understand how upsetting it is to work hard for years to be able to buy your own home, your own piece of property, only to have the value of that property to go down because filthy lowlifes have moved into the area, trash the place, spend all day shooting H or smoking crack, break into the neighbor's to feed their drug habit, and shit on the sidewalk right in front of your kids. Fuck that comic writer.

At least that one attempts a punchline, which is more than the other ones do. I've noticed that leftists are especially bad about that when it comes to comics about gendershit, and it's no different here.

As for the comic about sticking it to capitalists by getting them to hire a homeless guy out of desperation... speaking from experience that's not what you want if you work at a place. My first job was at a place where they hired a lot of seedy, incompetent people and the result was people who didn't do their job, so their coworkers had to cover for their slack. Also, stolen money from the cash register and various other bad things we all suffered consequences for. Also, the shittier the work culture at a place, the shittier the pay and the less chance of ever getting a raise or promoted in my experience. Funny how that works.

Peer review.

This of course ignores that in general this meme has been reversed so that the person on the left is being sensible and the Nordic gamer on the right is only portrayed as correct in parody, like so:

Shit like this actually pisses me off. I hate this modern arrogance that anyone in the past is stupid like bitch actually read a pre 20th century book and you will realize that just because people didn't have modern science or the same opinions as you doesn't mean they are stupid.

"I own guns. I grew up shooting guns my whole life. I just want common sense gun control!" is my favorite leftist meme.

Spoiler: For those who don't see it

22 caliber shotgun. Also, hollow points help prevent your shots from going through a soft target and hitting something on the other side you didn't want to, making them safer. Also, 22 is pretty universally considered a bad self defense round unless you're a granny who will break her wrist on anything stronger, since studies have shown that a determined attacker is far more likely to power through getting shot by a 22 than a 9 mm or .45.

At least it’s accurate with how troons still obviously have a male jawline and frame

They are so invested in their delusions that actual science/and or wrongthink sends them into fits of paranoiac rage.

Btw I love the honesty, the maker kind of had it to start out with.

I too love getting my hours cut and then getting fired my fellow comrades. It's solidarity to have poor work ethic and fair to coworkers!

An element that makes right wing memes better is the consistency in the message. Old time values good, progressive modernity bad, heres a prophetic quote from a really smart guy who is now dead that accurately predicts our current culture based on what was developing at the time.

Lefty memes have to dismiss the past as problematic. At least the past beyond approximately 150 years ago. Today good, yesterday bad. The thing is they aren't consistent. Some history good, socialist/communist history good, civil rights and feminist history good, white man history bad.

Add in the fact that the alt-right and far-right dont give a piss about moral superiority or appearing like heroes and you open yourself up to way more jokes. They will openly joke about Nazi war crimes while the left buries communist ones because lest anyone remember how women and gays were treated in commie countries.

This is probably the biggest contributing factor to the shittiness. Far leftists are so hellbent on presenting their own side as morally perfect that on top of over-qualifying everything with lengthy descriptions lest they accidentally say or imply something problematic, they also come across as incredibly obnoxious and up their own asses. They have no real humility and they're just preachy.

Far right memes on the other hand are often full of dark humor and self depreciation. Even if you completely disagree with them, you can still find them funny. Even a lot of leftists find them funny, which is why we see so many leftists trying to copy and co-opt far right memes.

Hey, at least he had the common sense to use an ugly default drop shadow on the text so it is at least legible. This meme has black text on a dark background and text with a warm color pallet placed directly on top of fire and an explosion.
