    DOGE: “Don’t actually care. This is just some bullshit to distract the rubes while we finish our bust out of the US Treasury.”

      We know, this comm is specifically for satire and humor of the right-wing. We make some memes and crack some jokes to help deal with the sad reality we’re all currently in

      I see this misguided gripe all the time, people forget how important cultural and political messaging is for organizing and motivation.

      I interviewed an old guy who fought in the spanish civil wars and he had this massive collection of pamphlets and leaflets and newsletters and posters from that period and, let me assure you, other than design, style, and medium, the messaging was consistent with current sarcastic memes and even shitposts. They made a lot if it, propaganda and useful info wrapped together, like in all struggles. That stuff is important.

      Effective resistance strategy incorporates many tactics. You look to your expertise, and draw strength from others where you can.

          Yep but that’s a separate issue, geopolitics at play. Fascists and conservatives support each other internationally. I guess you can only assassinate character with a meme lol.
