Might be funny if not posted while a US-backed massacre was going on.
The US has been backing massacres since Vietnam. Are political memes never funny?

"I'm not trying to tell people to not vote for Biden, but they need to be reminded that they are implicitly choosing genocide and justifying an evil president" is a very weird angle if you truly believe people should still vote for Biden.

Especially in a general election year where Biden is locked in as the D candidate unless he dies.

I can't find that quote in this thread.

Did someone say people were "implicitly choosing genocide" or is this like that time you assumed I wasn't voting for Biden because I questioned the Democrats running an octogenarian with diminishing cognitive abilities as their presidential nominee?

Biden doesnt have cultists no matter how much concern trolls try to make it so. Like it or not, your choices are Biden or Trump, and those smart enough to opt for the former are not shills.

A lesser of two evils scenario is not one you can escape by voting for neither. At that point you are useless.

But no it isnt though? Concern trolling is when a troll couches their attempt to harm the target as coming from a place with the right reasons. Thats from the example you posted. Cloaking spite with the language of worry.

If I was concern trolling I might say something like guys, I really want Joe Biden to win but these memes are going to hurt his campaign effort!, and Id be saying this because I secretly believe the meme is helping his election chances and want it shut down.

I didn't say you were necessarily being intentionally spiteful, but the end result is ultimately the same.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80694596

That is a topic about genocide. A rather relevant one at that. Now if someone were to go into that topic and crack jokes, you could say that it was inappropriate, and I'd be behind you 100%. Instead, you have chosen to enter a topic about a joke, and have authoritatively demanded we not have this discussion because of genocide.

Doe posted...
But am I not straight shooting ITT? I think its inappropriate to share this meme from Bidens social media based on what hes currently complicit in. Regardless of if its good for democrats to do it. Yet I dont think you shouldnt vote, or vote for Trump. What do you think I might be cloaking? You can call my feelings arbitrary all you want, no I dont have a mathematical formula to find at what point a meme about a powerful elected-by-us guy being evil is problematic but I do feel like genocide must be past that threshold. It may very well be that the dark Brandon meme was never appropriate; Im perfectly willing to consider that.

I didn't say you weren't straight shooting. I may have felt that way at one point but not so much anymore. You are not necessarily hiding anything either. I'd even venture out on a limb and say genuinely held beliefs compose the bulk of issues like these. People aren't really good at lying on the Internet. Eventually they lose interest because they don't really believe their own lies. And it's really hard to pretend to care about something when you don't really care about it.

Sometimes things don't really have an ulterior motive. They just are what they are. The one liner about cloaking spite at the top of the article is a very high level tl;dr. I encourage you to read the whole article all the way to the end if you haven't already as it provides examples and explanations of how people engage in this behavior without necessarily understanding that they are doing it, with or without sinister intentions.

That's literally the same energy as all that "god emperor" Trump shit.

Huh, I wasn't aware that all the MAGAts sporting memes and t-shirts with Trump's head plastered onto Rambo's body were doing so completely ironically, as in they know perfectly well that he's a fat loser who couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag, and the whole cult of personality is just good clean tongue-in-cheek fun. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

It's genuinely worrying how many of you can't recognize a left wing critique when you see one. Like it just doesn't compute to you and any critique of Biden that makes you feel bad or might make him less popular must be a bad faith conservatroll.

Doe has never posted anything right wing that I've seen, he's making standard leftist arguments and you're all acting as if you've never seen them before in your life. It's incredibly strange.

The argument is that the "Biden is evil" meme is a lot less funny or appropriate when it's not leftists praising Biden for actually doing a good thing, or when Biden is legitimately doing evil things. What are so many of you struggling to understand here? This is basic shit, I don't get it.

First, every President we've ever had is evil. Each and every one of them has done worse things than anyone you've ever met, most likely. Usually on a mass scale, to vulnerable people here and abroad.

Second, when DSA or a human rights group or the UN says what Israel is doing is evil and genocidal, is that a right wing inspired critique as well? If you think so, you're conclusively proving that you can't recognize left wing critiques.

Third is funding a genocide evil? I'm going to assume that you think doing so is evil, just out of good faith.

So presumably the dispute is on whether Israel is committing one and whether Biden is complicit. I'd say sending the bombs and weapons used to do the killing and providing political cover for the ultimate goal of permanent Palestinian destruction is facilitating genocide. What say you?

And before you accuse me of being a right winger, you should know I'm a leftist that votes exclusively for Dems, every single election, that phone banks for and donates to them, and that's typing this from a govt building where I work in the Biden administration.

I think it's worth comment that as he's posting this jokey meme, he's facilitating actual acts worse than anything Chuds accuse him of. Not mentioning that and just clapping like a trained seal at le epic memes seems wrong to me as well. And I generally like the Dark Brandon stuff and think it's effective.

Evil is subjective but I'd say funding a genocide typically falls on the side of "not good".

Or do you think that is an obvious lie too?

You cannot use "it's Biden or Trump" as a defense while there's an ongoing primary.

Voters are free to pull their heads out of their asses and nominate candidates other than genocidal fossils. Why are they not being held to task for refusing to do so?

People are focusing more on bitching about non-voters in an election 10 or so months away rather than the parties/voters actively fucking up now. Understand why the complaints are being brushed off.

I agree. I voted for the only candidate calling for a ceasefire, (and she already suspended her campaign before my vote is counted).

It'd help if we actually had a real primary and the system wasn't rigged in the incumbent's favor. It's going to Biden vs Trump.

Some More News did a great episode on the primary a few weeks ago. It's worth a watch if you have time.

Is it really a democracy when your only two choices are an evil piece of shit or an even bigger evil piece of shit?

Still more of a democracy than if Republicans regain control of the Executive and implement Project 2025, at which point you'll have far more to complain about as there will only be one ultimate evil and no opposition feasible.

Look, I get what you're saying, and in a vacuum or more respectable form of government it has merit, however in the the actual reality of modern U.S. politics you either vote and stand against the Christo-fascists or you do nothing and help facilitate their victory.

Does it suck? Yeah, and it's a big reason why I plan on expatriating once I get my degree to a more rational and sane country that doesn't have all the fucked up aspects U.S. politics does, however be that as it may it doesn't change the reality of things. Voting 3rd party or not at all doesn't accomplish anything in U.S. politics except that it helps facilitate the victory of whoever ultimately wins as that wasted vote could have been a vote against that person.

And even in this election the 3rd party options of RFK Jr. and Joe Manchin is still voting for some evil motherfuckers.

They're high on their own farts and sense of self-importance. Hence why they're literally trying to argue that they're justified saying this isn't funny because he's "using it as cover for the actual evils he's doing in regards to Palestine" when, no, he's doing it to mockingly shove yet another right-wing conspiracy back into their face with their own meme, which is the right approach to people as unserious as MAGA. The fact he's using the Dark Brandon format, with Brandon being a former right-wing anti-Biden meme to do against him, just enhances the hilarity, however to the aforementioned people they see it as "he's using a meme about him being evil to cover up for actual atrocities".

It's funny that that one poster referred to a Twitter post as "Blue MAGA" when he's far more like a MAGA cultist for seeing a conspiracy in everything that is blatantly presented as is.
