Hiding the ozempic use under the guise of losing 30 pounds just by eating like a German alcoholic is so good.

You’ll go to a bar and there will be the World Cup and baseball going on in the world, and they’ll have the TV set to Law & Order on mute.

@Ewan_C_Forbes They seem to beleive in magic or demons, as if the original meme could posess them if they were to gaze directly upon it.

A thing I noticed about progressives years ago: their belief in credentialism means they take in any and all information with at least one remove. They won't engage with ideology directly, they don't read their opponents, they avoid primary sources. They don't know their enemy.

@stephenehorn I don't think they understand that they are in fact the butt of these jokes, not the foreigners. The world is complex and often rather ugly but they childishly cling to naive simplicity.

[GreenNoticer @GreenNotic9887]

@stephenehorn They've spawned a whole new meme category.

[thomas🥃 @schizoidretard]

@stephenehorn Strangely, they actually included the phrase in the article, but still felt the text needed to be removed from the image.
(As an aside, the article itself is pointless and barely says anything at all other than 'racist memes exist'.)

[Stephen Horn @stephenehorn]

Racist memes are the new n-word

Apparently a research paper has to censor the text "I'm sorry that your daughter was raped by a retarded cannibal but we need him for the football team"

It's just too memetically powerful for them to put on paper, even in an academic context

Honestly the best trend in American microbrewing over the past five years or so has been the embrace of German- and Czech-style beers over IPAs.

There were earlier signs that Obama lacks taste. Their Vineyard mansion is tacky. The “book lists” never conveyed any understanding or even perception of more challenging literary or historical ideas. There’s a reason midwit arrogance thrived (festered) during his era.

Imagine an image so powerful you have to modify it lest the viewer instantly understands something that had been hidden from them by every other media source

Never underestimate the power of memes
