Jokes, arguments and sentences now devoid of any context. I hate memes. I just wanted to create a thread about how much I do.
This is just teenage boys repeating Will Ferrell movie quotes to each other ad naseum but in the internet age. Your peers will gradually stop doing it after they graduate and start mingling with people who haven't seen whatever the current year equivalent of Tosh.0 is.
The more (psuedo) intellectual version of this:
Quote:"the Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire".
Will stop happening when you start working with people who don't share your college major.
Unless you're a STEMcel, in which case you will be stuck hearing the same shit about engineering for 40 years or whatever.
This isn't the worst thing that can happen: if you stop understanding the supposed joke it means you're about to be replaced with someone with a "fresh perspective" - probably some sort of racial abomination who identifies as whatever transgenderism is going to morph into. Welcome to the suck. Remember: entropy is irreversible and the ride never ends.
The Stepbrothers quoting age of "culture" was not an ordinary characteristic of humanity repeated every generation up to that point. It was new. It was a new
low. And that cultural moment didn't pass. It evolved. It evolved into this. Yes. Older pre-internet socialised people will look at you like a retard if you ask them what time the narwhal bacons, but there are fewer of them every year and everyone below that point is tainted.
My meme subject is how this comes out politically. Particularly something I see leftists do a lot on twitter with "memes".
Leftists often have a Mister Data like relationship with memes, which are already retarded. Like the basics of the (bad and simple) humour are lost on them and they just use the formats as canned "owns" against people they like. Rightward "memes" tend to be about pointing out something stupid about leftists. A contradiction or an infantile notion or whatever. "Wakanda for
x" is a joke about ethnonarcissism and fantasy. Wakanda is retarded because it's the racial debris of west africa gone feral in America indulging in a retarded fantasy of utopian progress fuelled by their own innate brilliance while they can't even change their smoke alarms.
When this above tweet was posted an acquaintance replied "No, Hogwarts is white Wakanda." And that is the correct answer. Hogwarts is a vain fantasy of being chosen for exceptional treatment and a special place in the world on account of some innate giftedness most people can't see, and this exceptional life path is absurd and white because it's basically a fantasy of going to Klaus Schwab's School for Gifted Future Leaders and then working for the EU. It's the white woman dream of what would be perfect and what they feel they deserve because they are retarded, have no taste, and have a bloated sense of their own importance. Just like how the blacks got to dreaming of Wakanda.
But now whites and Japan. How does the "meme" work? What is this guy saying? The Wakanda meme has two parts. One the absurdity of the no-place which is idealised, and second the obvious unsuitedness of the dreamers for their own dream. Niggers are not building utopia. Mediocre white-women are not super-gifted masters of reality. etc. But Japan is real. The safe streets are real. And as an ideal it's all very doable. The Japanese got there by copying "racist white people". The dream is shockingly modest and shockingly doable. It's not Wakanda. It's like if blacks dreamed of a RETVRN to dying of Malaria, getting eaten by lions, and being darwinistically outcompeted by elephants. It's just how things are supposed to be.
If we give this guy the benefit of the doubt we can say that the "meme" still works if we take some retarded (and extremely racist) libtard assumptions to be true. 1., that Japan is not safe, actually their police lie, remember the 6 million molested on trains in the last five minutes, also implied in the "police stats lie" meme is that there is extraordinary amounts of public VIOLENCE being covered up, if Japan is not actually safer than America. Next required assumption which I can imagine a libtard holding, all
racist white people are retards who can barely dress themselves and would not be able to build a real and good civilisation (which is impossible and a myth anyway due to point 1.) due to their own incompetence and shitbaby fragility. Civilisation isn't real and you wouldn't even be able to build it if you had your own place to build and run as you please. Typical libtard double-think, which is really zero-think because to be a libtard you can't think at all. Words are just rocks that you throw. Which is how we got to this thread and why I'm posting this. Did this guy come to tweet this through a series of bad thoughts. Or by not thinking at all?
I think it's far more likely that this tweet exists because the guy has the mind of a youtube commenter. He thinks in broad sentiments, tribes, and templates. "Wakanda for
x" is another way of saying "bad shitbaby". Racist white people are the enemy. And because they're enemies they're bad shitbabies. "Cope" is something bad shitbabies (everyone you disagree with) do when they're being stupid (all the time). You can try to understand how things this awful come about by building a complex working model of someone else's mental process. But it's 2023 and twitter. You can get something that works far better by making as simple a model as possible. Even then you're probably doing them favours. It's probably bad to an extent I can't even imagine.
