My problem with the left photo is he could be kneeling on a Nazi.
Now that you mention it, this is fairly accurate in my social / familial sphere. For a lot of folks it's more about race than politics, though.
I mean… wasn’t race kind of the Nazis’ whole thing?
Not a meme
It's a similar comparison to Luigi Mangione
One person was responsible for killing or leading to the deaths of thousands and possibly millions of people to an early death - no one bats an eye
One person was responsible for directly killing one other person - the whole country loses their minds
Oh yeah, Luigi definitely came up as a topic of discussion over the holidays when I was visiting the conservative side of my family. I considered it a win that they at least acknowledged that the legal system and media works differently for the rich and powerful. I mean, common ground is common ground.
the ~~whole country~~ ruling class loses their minds
So much of this is filtered through the national corporate media. Quite a few people bat an eye at the vulgar abuse of power by insurance adjusters. But they aren't afforded a platform on your Cable News outlet of choice.
Vanishingly few people were sympathetic towards an unknown CEO of a notoriously skinflint insurance company. But he was lionized and eulogized on every national news station.
In the same vein, most people slept through Kapernick taking a knee. It wasn't properly news until weeks after he first did it, in large part because it took that long for right-wing anchors to notice. By contrast, the Elon Fascist Dab was headline news within seconds of him performing it and only got talked down to "Autistic Man's Arm Just Did That And It's Ablest Of You To Notice" after days of equivocating in papers and news channels of record.
The Consent, folks. Its being Manufactured.
Remember when they boycotted the NFL: they were never going to watch woke NFL again. And NBA. And Target. And Bud Light.
How'd that work out? Where are they now?
Right back where they always were.
That unnecessary comma makes this read like a command
Some people have a problem with the left photo, some with the right photo. And some are furious because of THAT FUCKING COMMA!!!!
why use an Oxford comma when you can just
can just end the fucking sentence.
I actually like it, but, I suppose, I like to use commas.
Commas are great for lists, and for combining two sentences into one using a conjunction like and, or, but, etc.; like I just did.
If you made each side of the comma a sentence then arguably neither would make a complete sentence.
In your opinion, were there too many commas in my original comment? (Serious question)
Edit: just because I'm curious. I like my writing to be at least somewhat proper.
but, you know, english isn't everybods native language, so i don't give a fuck, if someone puts a comma somewhere, where they shouldn't.
I don't mind all of the commas except the last 3. I think the comment should have ended after "fuck".
Well yeah obviously. One picture is people that care about their country.
Spot on.
White man's overbite included.
Yes exactly
