I’m aware of the existence of Russian “meme warfare” though I think its effect on politics in America is severely overstated.
But uh, how is this meme that you’re complaining about a “Russian meme”. Or are you just under the delusion that all political memes are Russian or something? How is making fun of Desantis for the pudding thing something Russians would do?
I dont know for fact, but I treat any political meme like it might. This combined with it not being relevant to the discussion would make me prefer to just not have them at all
I appreciate your comment though, it challenged assumptions without being egregious

I don’t really think this is a rational or particularly healthy stance to take on political memes. I can maybe understand if your stance was just “keep the worldnews posts serious”, though I’d disagree with that too. But saying that you’re trying to avoid Russian influence by avoiding memes is… idk. Doesn’t really make sense to me. Political memes aren’t inherently Russian.
You also have to consider Russia’s like, motives here. I don’t really see a reason for them to want to make pudding jokes about DeSantis.
I’m gonna push back on this fam. It’s peak libshittery to internet diagnose someone with mental health problems as a way to “critique” their positions. We’re not about that shit.
I specifically didn’t diagnose them or say that, their behavior and assumptions seem deranged to others and I wanted to get that across, not imply they are mentally ill
So you refuse to use or enjoy ANY meme that is political? Because supposedly your countrymen are so stupid that they got swayed by foreign memes into voting for trump?
The weirder thing is is that I checked their post history and they said they’re conservative, though based on their fear of Russian memes I’m guessing a Never Trumper? Weird.
I’m sure you think you found evidence of a Hexbear user’s “ties to Russia” but I promise that Hexbear is just a bunch of leftist shitposters. Your fear of Russian influence is not healthy nor tied to reality. I’m not even concern trolling here, I’m genuinely concerned for your mental health. This paranoia is not healthy.
I’ve worked for major social media companies for a majority of my career and understand the impacts they can have, I can assure you my concerns are healthy
Sure, we can joke about this but consider, that if I or anybody I know thought like that we simply wouldn’t discuss politics at all. As that’s something that liberals and fascists also do.
So you’ve watched enough american media to believe that political memes are something that Russians do, and that they totally destroyed american democracy with those memes? Well, I’ve seen more than my fair share of NAFO and americans online making memes about how non westerners should all be genocided. That won’t keep me from making fun of a fascist like Ron DeSantis with a meme.
I dont know for fact, but I treat any political meme like it might. This combined with it not being relevant to the discussion would make me prefer to just not have them at all
Bro first of all it dont really matter what you want. Second of all it dont think its really healthy to assume any political meme you see is of russian origin lol thats bizarre and incredibly weird
The 4chaner pretending their meme magic was invoking ancient gods seem like they have a closer conrction to reality than whoever wrote that. Unless im an idiot and its satire in wich case great bit.
I know you won’t care, but to anyone else curious what I mean when I specified “Russian”

Plus their memes are boring. Our memes are much stronger.

I appreciate your concern, but can assure you I’m mentally healthy
you totally might be, but the bare fact that you had to say this to someone today should probably prompt you to reflect a bit about all this friend
They’re mentally healthy for a westerner
Which is so rabidly racist and xenophobic that they’re calling out random memes for being Russian as an insult

That is a line of reasoning I guess.

How about the part the only hexbear user I looked into history for was tied to Russia?
look into my history, I wanna know what my connection to russia is
reading posters history like tarot cards

And where are those social media companies based?
How did you determine that they were “tied to Russia”
Yes
is there anything else that you refuse to do because russians potentially do them as well?
I’ve heard those evil RuZZians breath oxygen!

US institutes could get their point across a lot better if they didn’t hide all their propaganda behind paywalls.
All I can read is the first paragraph.
I’m really genuinely curious as to what the “Russian meme” you’re referring to is. The pudding finger thing?
