Leftist Memes - Or lack thereof...

I mean tbf the NPC meme doesn't just apply to the left, even though that was its original intention. Just spend 10 minutes on /pol/ and see how many times you can spot the same talking points, buzzwords and memes.

Nah, people are more likely to be at each other's throats.

I saw some retard selling Trump 2020 MAGA hats in fucking April '21.

Cringe memes are everywhere all over the political spectrum.
Gotta say, the right's are usually more nonsensical. Left's are exaggerated, but there's a joke in there somewhere.

People definitely prefer to talk about left wing memes.

It amazes me how even when they rip memes off, it still comes out horribly. That format is typically used to get normies to search some obscure content that they would not have normally encountered (e.g. lavon affair, "kicked out of 109 countries"). The Iran contra affair is anything but obscure.

Yeah, no shit.
People on the farms tend to find lefties funnier and many other people follow because it's edgier.

When lefties argue for the complete sanitization of everything and not hurting anyone's precious feelings everything becomes edgy. I'd written elsewhere that everything, including cultural works, is a product of its own era. Take Pippi Longstocking with this shit:
wikipedia said:
The character has also centered in debates about how to handle potentially offensive racial language in children's literature. In 2014, the Swedish public broadcaster SVT edited the 1969 television adaptation of Pippi Longstocking with the approval of Astrid Lindgren's heirs: the first edit removed Pippi's reference to her father as "King of the Negroes," a term now offensive in Sweden; and the second eliminated Pippi slanting her eyes, although it kept her pretending to sing in "Chinese". These changes received a backlash: of the first 25,000 Swedish readers polled by the Aftonbladet on Facebook, eighty-one percent disagreed with the idea of removing outdated racial language and notions from Pippi Longstocking, and the columnist Erik Helmerson of Dagens Nyheter labelled the changes as censorship. One of Lindgren's grandchildren, Nils Nyman, defended the edits, arguing that to not do so might have diluted Pippi's message of female empowerment.

It's a fucking children's book.

Reasonable people would take these in mind by themselves so any retconning, re-cutting, or disclaimers should be unnecessary. And yet the same kind of re-writing happened to Uncle Tom's Cabin and Tom Sawyer for example.

Call it empathy or whatever, but mocking leftwing shit personally tends to make me more sad than anything.

Left-wing shit sounds good in theory but always falls apart when facing reality.

The left still needed the right to invent the meme for them.

I intentionally buy older books to read the unfiltered words regarding to race just to solely imagine living in a country that free again.

I really don't know why this guy expects to be taken seriously when he draws shit like this:

"Happyroadkill" appears to be the artist. Looking him up, he exclusively draws gay furry porn.

That's an Achilles heel if you want your political opinion to be taken seriously by people who matter, i.e. people who don't look at gay furry porn, especially when going against righties who will use that fact to dismiss your assertions. "Ad hominem attack?" Of course it is. You're asking people to take a guy who most likely looks like this seriously when they already dislike him for holding a dissenting viewpoint.

The best you can hope for is preaching to the choir, because anybody on the fence is going to be scared off by the creep who draws elephant men with horse penises getting fisted by a hippo centaur.

Lmao. Exactly. It's a children's book. You think children are reasonable people?
You think a 7 year old is gonna go "Ah, yes. King of the Negroes is an inappropriate term in our modern society, but considering it in a historical context, I understand that this book is not seeking to oppress, but simply exhibiting the societal norms of that era"?

No, but I expect a 7 year old has at least one reasonable parent or authority figure - like a teacher - who can explain that to them.

While I agree that the left can't meme, this thread is 2 1/2 years older than that one so that's not really a good comparison.

It's easy to get a better comparison by getting a rate of posts though.

Left wing memes thread: 2.52 posts per day
Right wing memes thread: 1.55 posts per day

Left wing memes thread is 62% more active then right wing memes thread.
