Did you miss the first frame, bud?

[–] dafo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did you miss every other frame, pal?

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The first frame is implying that they never really talked before someone pointed out that 'they're so quiet'.

[–] dafo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At which point they terrorise the other guy and won't shut up.

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Right, that's the whole joke.

So? I really don't get your point, maybe I misunderstood the meme?

Your comment seemed to suggest that you 'can't stand the kind of people' who regularly never chime in with their opinion but when confronted about their silence open up a lot more; which seemed a bit odd to me so I just assumed you meant communists who are constantly vocal about their politics. But the first frame of the comic establishes that this person had never been vocal about anything much at all prior.

Which is why I asked if you had missed or misread the first frame. Otherwise it's just kind of weird to hate on the quiet folks.

Unless I'm misreading this comic.

Right, I get you now.

My comment was directed to people who are constanly talking about the same topic and do no speak about anything else and I specially have some extra annoyace for people doing that with politics. Even if I confront you with "You're so quiet" and then you let it out, it will still be annoyed, no matter if I asked first or not. Like, me inviting you to open is very different than me signing up for a unending hangout-tracendent only-about-communism discussion...

The comic is missing the frames with the other guy trying to change the topic and the other person perpetually stearing the conversation back to the same topic, which more often than not, I will entail some diaregard for the other party(s) in the convo.

A: Man, I broke my leg B: aw shit, that must suck, right? ~~because you can't do the things you like~~ I mean braking your leg in this shitty system, I wish we could have a system...

A: Yo, look, I bought this really cool thing that I have been wanted for years! B: ~~Cool! what does it do?~~ ah.. It was probably made by some slave in a sweatshop, you know? If we were in communinsm those would probably be made by some happy people instead!

(Dumb examples, I know, but Im no writer.)

I do admit, that me starting my comment with "As a commie" do makes my comment kinda obtuse and nonsense...

I stand by it tho. This kind of person is just very annoying to me, independent of the topic. Im quite vocal about my political views, but there's too much in my life to only talk about the one belive I have.
