Agreed but what’s with the weird amount of politics related memes on lemmy meme communities?I wanna laugh not continue glooming about the state of the world

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 30 points 23 hours ago (22 children)

It's probably state and political organizations trying to influence the election by implicitly trashing the democrats, there are farms of memers from conservative countries and organizations trying to imply that the democrats are the authoritarian party to rattle the cages of voters.

it happened in 2016 and 2020, and every American intelligence agency has been publicly cautioning voters for years that electoral manipulation through indirect methods like memes and social media posts are definitely being perpetrated by unfriendly countries and is only increasing.

https://www.wired.com/story/russia-ira-propaganda-senate-report/

It's a pretty interesting story that not many people talk about, but a lot of political memes on the internet are supplied by foreign state actors willfully trying to influence American elections, and in the case of 2016, successfully affected the outcome of the American election for the conservatives according to intelligence agencies.

Don't see the link between this meme and the US election. I bet this is a widely shared understanding of the situation outside the US.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago (16 children)

link:

in 2016 and 2020, meme farms were established in Russia, China and Iran specifically to covertently attack the democratic party so that The conservatives in the US would seem more rational, because for an actors with intense to harm the US want the conservatives to gain power again.

that is happening again.

Even if OP here isn't one of the Russian meme farmers themselves, their misunderstanding of the political conflict is undoubtedly influenced by the intentionally divisive and simplified memes flooded into American social media by bad actors.

It's a dead-end, lazy barely-a-thought meme and the fashionably cynical futility of American policy analysis should be confronted.

I'm gonna agree with varik here. I've noticed a deliberate contingent of "pro-Palestinian" who are clearly siphoning votes from Harris. They seem to be targeting naive leftists and Midwest Muslims, and they always intentionally obfuscate just how much more brutal and awful Trump would be.

Bro, u don't need foreign authors to do that. The very same person that did and does that there, teach Bolsonaro and his MFs to do the same in Brazil. USA problem is not foreign authors, but inside job, even when them (Trump and his followers, backed by Steve Bannon and tons of money from people like Musk) hire external actors to do so.

One of the biggest problems of USA lies in the fact that united stadians (sorry, I refuse to call them Americans and prefer to create a name) always think that their country is being attacked, harassed and assaulted by evil external actors that wants the end of USA when these actors are, mainly, internal. And most of the externals, also hired by internal actors.

But, I admit that it is being nice to see the end of USA as an empire (even though they will die shooting and killing millions, like we are seeing in Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Siria, Libia and many others)

This is not trashing democrats, and republicans would be worse. This is trashing all the ignorant peopel who don't understand the difference.

By default the open source/decentralized social media movement was galvanized by idealistic and political groups who were unsatisfied with corporate social media — mainly being the libertarian-flavored, pro-free speech free software types that flourished in the early software industry, the right wing activists that proliferated in the mid 00s/early 2010s, and left-wing factions of many types fighting capitalism.

Lemmy in particular was started by developers in the communist space, and has since attracted other segments of the left and center to seed its culture.

Many segments of popular communities here are liberal or even centrist now, but the background, core user base of Lemmy retains at least a socially progressive, anti-or-critical-capitalist lens, if not further left.

I am sorry. I thoght this was too low effort to put in a politics community.

[–] B312@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

~~I don’t really browse political communities but I thought they would have a lower barrier of effort than meme communities.~~

Nvm I just remembered I’m on shitpost. Fair enough ig

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 4 points 6 hours ago

I just think it's a matter of the crowd Lemmy has attracted. The circumstances of Lemmy's creation and growth aren't exactly conducive to being full of fun loving people.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

The state of the world and the koolaid man both like to recklessly crash through my walls and be like "OH no"

Just one of them is fucking war criminal.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 29 points 13 hours ago

I hope you are saying Anne was a war criminal cause accusing bibi would be a serious case of antisemitism, which is the highest crime of all.

[–] ReeSilva@bolha.forum 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

NSFW because it is 18+ to show whores like Netanyahu and USA

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Whores deserve a lot more respect than that

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whores also let you fuck them and have a good time, those two rape you and charge you for it

[–] ReeSilva@bolha.forum 4 points 20 hours ago

And in the end make the whole world think YOU are the rapist

[–] ReeSilva@bolha.forum 8 points 20 hours ago

Indeed, you're totally right. Sorry, whores, btw.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Am I missing something? Is this saying there is similarity between an innocent victim of a genocide with someone who is creating a new genocide on another group of people?

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

The meme is being misused since the situation in the show is 180 degrees from its use in memes. In the show, Pam pranks a dude by giving him two identical pictures and then admits that it's the same picture.

In memes, people thought that Pam was the one that was given the assignment. So in this meme, Pam is US / US government. And to the US there is no difference between pictures when given the assignment of distinguishing between a victim of Holocaust and the current head of Israeli government that is actively comitting genocide.

[–] sh_it_poster24@sh.itjust.works 12 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

I dont think it is a misuse when labeling the Pam character differently. It doesnt match the show, but the meme works bothfor things you think are the same and ofr things someone else thinks are the same that is really different.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

On the other hand, see how many people are confused.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 16 hours ago

Thank you very much

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Both are Jews

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (2 children)
[–] sh_it_poster24@sh.itjust.works 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Americans think Israel is like the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. But Israel is an apartheid colonization project founded on violence. Anne Frank is not the same as Benjamin Netanyahu.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Oh, ok, I did actually understand it, I just didn't understand it. Thanks friend! Very helpful.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I think you do, and you want someone to spend too much time typing an explanation of the obvious.
