This is real
🤣 fellow kids indeed. THE PACK will not be amused.
Even though OP specified it’s a real tweet, I honestly didn’t believe them. Until I checked.
Fuck, man. I’ve been getting more and more desensitized to the absolute bullshit that abounds in this world, and most of the insane stuff fascists do barely registers anymore.
But this hit me like a ton of bricks, for some reason. These people are gonna gas minorities and make memes about it. What a fucking pathetic waste of atoms these assholes are.
Look at the metrics. 4.3M views, boosted hate replies. Blue check.
Twitter and propaganda like it is why this is happening.
The modern fascist terraforming plan is:
Step 1: Flood the zone.
Step 2: Population gives up and tunes out.
Step 3: Remove all remaining checks to power.
Step 4: Purge all political and social undesirables.
The funny thing is, Stephen Miller and the rest realized they can do the steps in parallel, each one reinforcing and normalizing the others.
The most valuable and hardest thing we can do is not give up resisting. But pace yourself, find some good in the world and give it some of your attention every day. They’re relying on wearing us down.
Wow those replies are terrible. I regret clicking.
I’ve learnt that never reading Twitter replies is actually a form of self-care. No matter how vile the tweet, the replies are always somehow an extra level of unhinged.
Satire is dead and republicans killed it. It’s not the worst thing they’ve done, but I’m still nettled nonetheless. I appreciate you linking
I’ve always felt many of these are government jobs programs for conservatives that love free markets but don’t have what it takes to survive in them.
Funniest part about working for ICE and CBP in my career. We’re how many lonely, mentally broken people worked within it. I mean literally PTSD filled nut bags. Who couldn’t work a real job. I am holding out for the coming civil war before I do anything. But trust me. These ICE bros are fragile children that just need to be punched in the face.
Our goddamn federal government is posting memes about putting families in concentration camps.
Goebbels would have too if they had social media.
I’m jealous of the kids that will learn about this era in school in about 60 years.
It’s going to be a really interesting social studies subject linking the rise of Web 2.0 to the fall of America
some people call me a crazy optimist when i talk about a beautiful idealistic future where in 60 years kids both exist and learn in schools
It does feel that way sometimes, but humans as a species are shockingly resilient. This isn’t the first crumbling empire we’ve had to deal with, nor will it be the last.
We got some scary tools now though. We’ve never been able to fuck up the planet at this scale.
Sure, if by “humans are resistant” you mean that they massacred millions of us before anyone stoppped them.
The same way we learned? Haha. History is cyclical.
It makes you ask the question, why am I participating in this society anymore? Why do I let these complete cunts jack off all over my country flagrantly? We’re all clowns together until they are ripped from their positions and thrown to tartarus.
RIP The Onion 2025
They couldn’t keep up with the time
I fucking wish the other party would go this rabid against billionaires.
I would settle for a mild tax on billionaires and a flat budget for ICE.
Deported
Vote third. Next time the dnc sues to keep a leftist off the ballot in swing states, let’s crowdfund a countersuit. De La Cruz is still speaking up for us.
Imagine if Eichmann had access to memes.
I imagine Nazi memes would be similarly humorless to normal people, where cruelty is always the punchline.
you don’t have to imagine. their propaganda posters should genuinely be thought of as being memes. every poster is a meme that the people gluing up hope will influence the general sentiment of the people around them. internet memes are not truly new. there are merely the most common form of propaganda detritus in our current age. in the 20s-90s, this was the poster and the street tag
I think neatly curated propaganda work isn’t quite the same as an internet meme. The Richard Dawkins, Metal Gear Rising definition, perhaps. Internet memes, especially modern ones, have a crude banality if not outright absurdity to them. It’s like saying a funny home video uploaded to YouTube is essentially the same as a theatrical comedy movie release.
I don’t fully agree with that. The extreme right have definitely weaponized memes to be form of modern propaganda on a whole other level. We mock this for being a “hello fellow kids” kind of boomer attempt at memes, but it 100% works for the targeted young male adults. Just look at the demographic data for how many young males voted for this and continue to propogate their cult’s extremism across the internet.
