dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Adults are talking vibes

I'm glad Keir Starmer is beginning his Harvey Dent/Two Face arc

He'll get half his face burned off by the scalding hot innards of a Greggs pepperoni pizza slice and will become twisted, then will put the privatisation of the NHS on a coin toss

(His burned half is actually the half with better policies)

The thing is, even if this was a viable message, just saying "We're the serious ones" outright will not resonate popularly and will instead just make his party seem like they are dripping with condescension. Why not just say their party once elected a dead pig shagger? It's way more effective at making those who are politically neutral and non-smug view conservatives as the outgroup, rather than feel that they themselves are being cast into an outgroup.

Have Labour learned nothing from Democrats and their abject failure larping as "the mature and honorable" party in 2004 and 2016? No voters want that shit deep down! Labour is defaulting to the worst liberal inclinations, it's only a matter of time before Starmer tries a zinger on Tory and Reform supporters and calls them "a wickerbasket of behavioral outliers," prompting all the hogs there to put that in their Twitter names.

It's so cringe to watch another liberal party just fall on its ass in such a predictable fashion, starting from when they sidelined and defamed Corbyn to show the public that they are a party which rejects extremists and populists, you know, unlike the Tories. The Tories know "extremists and populists" are a political asset, you just helped them by shivving yourself in the taint, and now you're expecting them to show you respect and go, "thank you, now we are dutifully bound to do the same and equally electorally disadvantage ourselves."
