      Yeah, but on rocket fuel and crack cocaine. People getting way too fart-sniffing with their own sarcasm and double-reverse trolling was always a problem. That shit has now been extra confounded and complexified by the sheer DENSITY of meme and shitpost culture, over there.

      If you look away for a couple of weeks, you might as well have been in a coma for ten years. Nothing makes sense, even the comments on every post are dense and packed with in-jokes and sub-memes, and whole new communities are created every fucking day, just to delve further into the meta-meme-ification.

    Do better things with your time… Like arguing with me that I’m not doing anything better with my time.

    The people posting in those subs probably don’t even know either. Fascists upvoting communists and vice versa because nobody wants to admit they don’t get the joke

    I’ve literally subbed for months trying to figure out if a community is sarcastic or not.

      They all start out that way, but eventually enough people join and don’t get it that it becomes real.

      Huh. I didn’t notice that. And I got this image from Pixabay, when I was unable to make an AI image that worked for the meme. At least up until now, Pixabay hasn’t had a bunch of AI images, but maybe this one is. It’s pretty good, though.

    I feel like we have been sucked in a vortex that takes any attempt at parody and satire and uses it to push the overton window towards fascism.

      Yeah, pretty much. I’ve basically felt like I’ve been loopy on nitrous oxide, since about 2011. That’s been the subjective experience. World just started to go fully whack-a-doodle nuts.

    Why does anyone need to figure out whether a forum is left or right leaning? You go there and if you like the content you stay and if you dont like the content you leave, its literally that easy.
